ahappysmileyface, thank you for your reply. YOUR WELCOME : )
what did the hair biopsy determine as for the reason of your hair loss? TELLUGEN EFFLUVIUM (I DONT KNOW IF I SPELLED THAT RIGHT...CAN BE CAUSED BY STRESS, HEREDITARY, PREGNANCY...)
also, i have heard that cortisone shots may have adverse effects such as weight gain. did you have any side effects or anything like that for the cortisone? NO, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO SIDE EFFECTS
also, my candida is from what i believe to be long-term anti-biotics usage (I used keflex and minocycline for about 20-21 months). i believe my hairloss is caused by the candida. is this similar to your situation at all? I BELIEVE SO. I TOOK MEDICINE FOR MONONUCLEOSIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND MY PROBLEMS STARTED A SHORT TIME LATER
also, did the cortisone help regrow the lost hair, or did it just stop the hair loss. IT TOTALLY STOPPED THE HAIR LOSS AFTER THE SECOND SET OF SHOTS. DEFINITELY REGROWING ALL THE HAIR. MY HAIR IS REAL LONG, AND ALL OVER MY SCALP I HAVE ABOUT 5
inches OF NEW HAIR GROWTH. WHICH IS KIND OF ANNOYING, BECAUSE ITS SO MUCH SHORTER THEN THE REST OF MY HAIR, BUT IT BEATS HAIR FALLING OUT. I FORGOT TO TELL YOU. AT THE TIME OF THE CORTISONE SHOTS I ALSO TOOK APPEAREX BIOTIN PILLS. THEY ARE EXTRA STRENGTH AND I GOT THEM AT ECKERDS. THEY ARE SOLD IN THE NAIL SECTION, SUPPOSEDLY TO STRENGTHEN FINGERNAILS, BUT WORKS GREAT ON HAIR
