Now I'm losing eyelashes sheesh

[donna12 742]

Is it not bad enough that I'm losing hair like crazy but now I'm losing eye lashes as well. I've uped my Protein, even added a Protein Shake to my diet, I take Biotin, I'm just at a loss. 1 yr and 1 month post op.

Sorry to hear, I did not have this problem. (((((hugs))))) to you both!

I hear it is all about the protein!

I'm so sorry. I had it really bad, too! Mine was mostly around the 1-year mark and then it tapered off. It does stop after a while. My hair and brows and lashes did grow back (slowly). Protein wasn't a problem with my diet. It was just the fast extreme weight loss, I think. I did everything... protein, Vitamins, Biotin, you name it. There is no 100% prevention or fix for it. Hang in there. It will get better!!

I began taking prenatal Vitamins along with Biotin which helped considerably! One year post op and that has worked well for me! Good luck!

IM sorry to hear that my hair is doing just the opposite it is so think and full until I have to use a super perm on it lol

Sorry to hear that. If you don't mind sharing, what do you take Biotin for? Is losing hair a side affect of the medication?

How much Biotin are you taking daily? I took around 6000 mcg and it helped quite a bit. Make sure you're not suffering from malnutrition first and foremost, though.

I'm going through the same thing, My hair was already fine. so I wear hair pieces when I have to look nice. Taking all my Vitamins. I hate combing my hair after washing it. Looking into buying a wig that has same cut as mine.

[donna12 742]

I take 5000 mcg of Biotin and I have plenty of Protein. My dr just shrugs it off too Joy. My PCP mentioned malnutrition but didn't go any further with it. I'm at the end of my rope is all I know. I'm sad.

Its a supplement in addition to Protein shakes that you can take and along with good Vitamins. That should help this problem.
