Hello,
I just finished reading Cathrine's letter regarding hair loss. I too have been experiancing hair loss for the past 10 years. I am now in my 60's and have never seen a doctor about this. I too have difficulties styling my hair. I have a great amount of hair thining by my right temple and now I see that it is begining to thin on my left temple. I feel embarrassed about this.
E.

What can I do next?

dear E.,
i am 50 and have also been going thru the thinning thing. you are so right about the embarassment. i too looked to my mama source friends for advice. what the majority told me was to go see my doctor. i too had not been to a doctor for almost 7 years,( shame on me). i went, and had bloodwork done. i have hyperthyroid disease. i put out too much hormones and that causes my hair to fall out. my doc put me on meds and said within afew months i should see some improvement. i now have something to look forward to. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!! YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER, I DID.

Dear E.,
I, too, live in the Chicago area. And I have had a problem of hair loss for as long as I can remember.
2 1/2 years ago I started taking Shaklee nutritional supplements for a fibromyalgia problem, and also began using their hair-care products because of their nontoxic nature.
I now have thicker hair than I ever have in my life! In fact, it is hard to get it all into my barretts, which used to be too large.
The fibromyalgia is MUCH better, as well.
What my experience has taught me is that our bodies will do the best they can with the nutrition we give them. If we want optimum results, we must feed our cells exceptional nutrition.
I wish the best for you in your search for help,
N.

E., I too have hair loss, 65 and it comes from thyroid and not taking hormones. Why don't you check out your thyroid levels?

Don't be embarrassed! We all have issues. Have you ever talked to a doctor? I have a friend who started losing lots of hair in her 30s, and it was really getting thin. She ended up having a thyroid problem and went on medication. It took awhile to get it regulated, but viola! She has hair again!
