Hi Robin,,,,Sorry to hear you misread viral load but mine was 8 mil to start with and no detect at 3 months and there is many more with even higher viral loads.  The meds make your hair fall out at root but also your hair is drier and does seem to break it off also.  I have tried alot of things but not really sure if any have helped awhole lot.  Right now I'm using that Nioxin shampoo.  I didn't notice my hair falling out until about week 12 and it seems that everyone is a little different on that.  Hope this helps and if you have a plan or know of something,,,please share....

Good Morning all!

I would like to know if this hair loss happens from the root or scalp, or from breakage from dry hair.

I am on shot 7, and all is well so far.  Biggest sides have been weakness, rages.  Went to the doc on Wednesday and was dissapointed to learn that instead of the 478000 viral load that I thought I was starting with, was actually misread by me as I should have read, 4,780,000.

As for the hair, any comments would be appreciated as that will tell me my plan of attack.

Thanks, Robin

wow jeff....that was a rather profane post, suggesting massaging a board members breasts, and various other parts of her body, intimate sex toys and clothing, as well as your offer to be a male escort , providing her with services for free of charge......as well as take photos of this event..and then offer a free lunch after, kinda sounds disgusting, and degrading to a female, not to mention, no matter how much you think your kidding around, on some level you are cheapening her and objectifying her as well,..i thought you thought of chevy as a friend, your words say otherwise.  i thought you were far more of a gentleman than that?...i guess not.  you should be ashamed of yourself for talking to a women like that espeacially so publicly.  now who's crossing the line jeff.

Hair loss from thyroid problems are pretty common on tx and after if you still have thyroid problems. I lost on tx off and on and now I am losing like crazy again this week. I stopped tx a week ago but my thyroid is still testing high. LL

I didn't start losing hair until week 20, so if you take the trial you talked about earlier, maybe you won,t lose any hair!   Joni
