Hair Loss, Protein, Bioten etc...

Let me put your fears at rest - the Hair loss will stop, eventually. My doctor told me that when you have surgery, the body directs all it's resources to healing the affected area - hair gets neglected in this period because it's not vital. Did you notice that your hair shed a lot less after surgery? In the first two months, I hardly lost any hair at all, indicating that the hair wasn't going through its normal shedding cycle. So, what you may be losing now is hair that you should have lost before but it's all coming at once which can be pretty freaky. I used to get massive clumps of hair coming out in the shower - I got blood tests done and I wasn't deficient in anything - Iron levels where better than average because I was eating more red meat than I ever had before.

I take 5000 MCGs a day of Biotin. This is way above the recommended daily dose, which is measured by a person intaking 2000 calories. Some days I take 10k MCGs just to make sure, because I have a huge fear of hair loss. My hair is my thing and I cannnnooottt lose it!

Are you taking enough Vitamins? Keep in mind more are for people consuming 2000 calories a day, so you would need to at least double any dosage. Talk to you nutritionist.
