hair loss
by Rose1IN, Feb 21, 2009 12:05PM
I am 6 months into my treatment and my hair is thinning a lot. Does all the hair treatments like Nioxin really work? It seems to me that since I have been using all of the thinning hair products I have been losing more hair. I think this is the worst part of the treatment. I can put up with the sleepyness and minor aches. I'm a very private person and I dont want anyone to know about my hep c. I just dont know what to say to people if any more of my hair falls out. And to top it off my doc wants to get more aggressive and change my meds to a shot everyday. Help!!

Don't wig out over this. It happens to many of us.I lost at least half during all my treatments. I also lost the curls and my hair became straight. But no to worry, not only did mine all grow back, but I seemed to have even thicker hair after treatment... and... all my curls came back...

Rose, I just want to back up what everyone else has said. Hair loss and change of hair texture has been a pretty constant sx for me and very frustrating. I do know it will come back so in the meantime it's about finding ways to work with your 'new look' hair. When desperate I wear scarves and bandannas - people just think I'm being stylish rather than trying to cover my hair loss.
May I suggest that you don't do what I did yesterday and find photos of your gorgeous hair before tx and compare it to now. That put me in a blue funk for the day!

I will probably go back to it when off the meds to encourage new hair to come through but for now I am sticking with hypoallergenic shampoos. If we lived in the same country I would offer you all my hair products to try, I have so many now that I am thinking of starting a shop!!
