As you know I am in my ninth month of taking spiro. I have only been taking 150 mgs except for one month I tried 200 mgs, but felt dried out.
This past weekend when I washed my hair on Saturday I counted about 50 in the shower and then ran my fingers though my wet hair over and over again and always came back with strands of hair. I hadn't washed my hair on Friday, as it has been so hot here I have just been wearing my hair up loosely in a scrunchy. The same thing happened today. I didn't shampoo on Sunday and this morning I did. I noticed the same about 50 hairs in the drain catcher, but when I ran my hands through my wet hair over and over I was getting strands of hair. I didn't want to count the rest of them. I would venture a guess that it was about 30 more.
I can run my hand through my hair and get a strand here and there. I actually have been doing so since I came home and every time I get a few strands in my hand.
I am not a happy camper at the moment. I keep telling myself that it is because of two days' worth of hair loss, since I didn't shampoo every day. In my mind I then double it. Also, I don't really brush it out when I put it up. So, then the hairs you would normally lose with a brush I am not getting. Also, wearing it up constantly the hair that falls out during the day that we "don't notice" is staying wrapped up and not allowing to shed.
I don't know. I am taking 200 mgs today and may just continue and see if I notice a difference. I know that the loss is insignificant to the kind of loss I experienced in November, and the previous years. It's just that I HATE, as we all do, to see SHEDDING HAIR!
I ran seven miles one day last week and four the next and I wonder if that contributed to the increase.
Will let you all know how it goes. I am not, and will not, panic! Nine months of success behind me, this is probably just a bad period.
But then again, it makes me wonder about the eventuality of it all.
Best wishes to all, Michelle D. ~;-)
