WHY IS MY HAIR FALLING OUT???

I just don't get it. My labs are all still good. WHY THEN is my hair falling out??? I have been "shedding" a little since the second week or so, but nothing big...I have VERY thick hair, so I don't think it will make too big a mess. BUT, my hair is falling out all over the place, my mother found a bunch of it on the stove yesterday, and told me I needed to start wearing a hair net in the kitchen...I was SOOO embarassed. It is everywhere...in my bed, on the furniture, but most irritating of all, DOWN MY SHIRT!!! ITCHY, ITCHY, ITCHY!!!! It's like if you go to get a haircut and its all down in your shirt. EWE!! And then how gross it is in the shower when I wash my hair and its mixed in the shampoo in my hands...YUCK! Then in the towel I'm trying to dry off with...I am soooo sick of this today...I know I shouldn't be this upset over this minor sx, and probably shouldn't even post this. Like I said everyone is suffering with way worse sx, and mine have actually improved a little over the last week or so. Well, maybe I am adapting to feeling like c*** too who knows, but anyway, could someone tell me WHY this could be happening?? Like I said, my blood work looks pretty good, just a little low on platelets and a few thousand drop on ANC. Nothing big. OH and my head ITCHES sooo bad, so does body but not like my head. I don't have bugs...lol.

I LOVE YOU.  I can see your hair.  You made me SO HAPPY!

I work at the worlds biggest hair beauty product company in the world and we own "RUSK" the punk hair designer company (you might have seen our products in the store) - and we have the hair designers who do fashion week in the city and stuff and WHY didn't I think to do the same thing?

I am going to contact the lead stylist today in the city and ask when she will be around. Then...I'm going to get her to cut it WILD and SHORT SHORT - and I'll get the wig and have TWO options to deal with!

I'm so glad to know you.
