I have some wigs but do not care to wear those constantly and the hair loss is severe (due to thyroid problem). Has anyone tried any kind of hair weaves, strands, or the like and tell me about it as very interested in getting something done, even if it has to be on a monthly basis.

hair loss
My hair started falling out years ago, just inherited. I tried extensions, forget that.. There are a couple of products out there hair so real, but then I got Toppix; it's a natural hair fiber/powder that you apply to DRY scalp where the scalp is showing through; it's expensive, so I only use it when I go out to meet people I know.
Hypothyroidism, hair loss, anyone with this
what have you done for the hair loss. I told hubby gonna do a Britany and get it all shaved and wear a wig my loss is getting so severe. Any help on this?
Hair loss due to medicine
I wanted to post this here as I would think not everyone reads the immunosuppressant post and I think this is really important for others to know. I have hypothyroidism and had been on Synthroid for years, steadily losing hair, tried all kinds of things, nothing working. Read here some others talking about the possible connection of Synthroid and hair loss. Readers, believe me when I say I went to my physician, told him did not want to take any more and wanted Armour. My hair has grown tremendously just over the last month, I am really, really excited and want to thank each who told me a big thanks and a hug. If you have hair loss and are taking Synthroid, please do not hesitate to ask for a change.
Female hair loss
I'm wondering if any of you all have experienced, or know someone who has, hair loss. I'm 32 and for the last few years my hair has been thinning. Of course, for the last few years I was on Zoloft, and now that I have stopped it we are hoping I soon will once again have a full head of hair, but just in case...
How do you handle it? Wigs, scarves? My hair has always been my one vanity, so this is somewhat disturbing. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
HC
Anyone with anemia and hair loss?
The reason I ask is because I have been having hair loss and the doctor just told me I am slightly anemic. I now have to take iron and I am trying to get more info from anyone who has this? I also have a hiatal hernia, that probably needs to be fixed, and googling this stuff, it could be all related...
Any info from anyone that has experience with this is appreciated!
can you elaborate more on symptoms other than hair loss? sm
i get confused with hypo and hyper. my last results were below normal limits, barely - not enough for doc to give Rx. i feel i have lots of symptoms though but symptoms are almost the same for both from what i find. i am always "exhausted", insomnia, extreme hair loss, can't lose weight.
Hair loss and hypothyroidism, have you ever switched medicine
from say Synthroid to Armour. I am having very severe hair loss and going this afternoon to see my endocrinologist to see about a change as what I have been reading on Synthroid is not that good with the hair loss. Tell me what you have done. Thanks
I was referring to my own hair, people hair. nm

I am SO sorry for your loss--sm
I have followed your posts about Misha since you started and had high hopes that all would be well with her. I am crying now, and feel her loss probably as much as you do. I love animals and have had many in the past, some that I too had to let go. It is not an easy thing to do and I feel so badly for you! Misha is comfortable and happy now, and at peace. You will see her again and she will see you. Sasha may grieve, as well, now. I wish you all the best in the future. Take care.
Good bye Misha. You touched so many hearts!

Sorry about your loss. when my dog
died last year, it was traumatic for me. Search Rainbow Bridge on the web. It is an inspiring story you may enjoy reading... susan
Sorry for your loss...
The recent news is just terrifying. I have 3 indoor cats and feed 6 outdoor cats the neighbors left when they moved. Luckily, I never fed my cats Iams on a consistent basis, but I have once in a while, as well as others.
Deeply, deeply sorry for your loss :(
I am very sorry for your loss...
I lost my brother to suicide almost 8 years ago. It shattered my whole world because we were so close. I have a big family, but my family to me was my mom and brother.
It was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, ever. I went through many stages too, and still to this day I sometimes think maybe it was just a dream, not real. I know it was real, but this other side of me thinks this from time to time. It is really hard to put in words.
It does get better though. With time, you start to heal and pick yourself up and move on. It is during this time though that you have to lean on whatever comforts you have, whether that is God, your friends, your family, etcetera.
All of my grandparents are gone now too. Unfortunately I was never close to any of them other than one grandpa who passed away first.
Good luck to you and hang in there...it will get better.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
The reason I was buying the ultra-premium dog foods with no gluten products was because I was trying to get Misha healthy, so her illness actually protected my other dog from an early death.
My loss-
I lost my first pregnancy at 16 weeks. At that time I was completely heartbroken. I was confused and mixed up as to why it happened. It has taken me a long time to remember the date of my miscarriage and date the baby would have been born without making myself completely depressed. I have now seen all the events in my life since then and I have come to realize, which was so hard for me to hear and accept at that time- is that things may happen for a reason and be for the better. It is the worst to hear, but it is what you need to find on your own. I am sure your blessings in life will find you, whether they are a wonderful and happy life with your husband, the joy of a pregnancy to fullterm with a child to love or anything else in life that brings a smile to your face and peace in your soul. My child would have been 10 year this August. I always take that week of my estimated due date and just give a moment to think about what could have been. It does take time and I hope you find some comfort in time. My thoughts are with you and your loss.
Am sorry for your loss.
and am on oxygen at night, nasal cannula, not CPAP, and I absolutely hate it. I wake up and it has come off, so it really is not doing me any good. I should probably ask to be switched to CPAP. Again, very sorry for your loss. P.S. Am going in for lap band surgery and so hope to get rid of the oxygen totally in the future.
So sorry for your loss.
I lost my sister several years ago to cancer so I can relate. It makes you realize just how fragile life really is. What a beautiful way to honor your sister, thanks for sharing the pic.
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
A friend of mine and former boss lost her husband very suddenly in a work accident when they were both in their early 30s - 5 years ago this week actually. I think she might have tried the online way for awhile, but I know she ended up going to a grief counselor in person eventually, which really helped her. She took her 2 small kids for a few sessions as well, if I remember correctly, and when she was about to remarry, her finance went as well.
I'm not one to take meds unless I absolutely have to, but have you considered seeing your doctor for some sort of antidepressant? You sound very depressed, which is understandable. And people that tell you it's time to snap out of it can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned. Everyone grieves differently and at different paces. One step forward and 2 steps back a lot of the time. Just when you think you have a handle on it, something goes haywire.
((((hugs))))
I'm so sorry for your loss...
I'm close to my mom also and I do dread that milestone. We lost her sister suddenly 6 years ago, who I was extremely close to ("second mom"), and it took a long time, a couple of years, for me to be able to even think of her without crying.
Beliefnet.com has some good reading resources on grief, I think. I think they have forums also, but am not sure. It's definitely worth exploring the site, though, since they often mention other resources outside of their site.
Good luck to you.
I am so very sorry for your loss - sm
May she live on in your heart with the good memories you shared together...
I'm so sorry for your loss. sm
She has gone to the Rainbow Bridge where I think you are right, she is sunning herself and happy.
This is one of the most heartwrenching things to go through but it sounds like Mochi was in a lot of pain and was ready to rest and that was truly the last, best gift you could give her in setting her free.
Fly free without pain, Mochi.
So very very sorry for your loss. nm

Sorry for your loss . . . perhaps you could
sprinkle them somewhere that the two of you enjoyed together or as a family, since neither of your children are interested in having them.
I'm sorry for your loss.
She's warm and comfy now. There will be 4 cats at my new job. Apparently some interact with the workers, whether they are expecting it or not. Should be interesting to be cat ambushed while concentrating on a new job, LOL.
For some happy news, I just scheduled a July vacation. My brother and his family are going.
Other family members could come also, but it's hard to get everybody to agree on a location. Some of the best-off family members are balking at the cost of the hotel instead of just saying "Wow, it's right on the beach and it has all these amenities and we are going to have a blast." Oh well, those that go will have fun and those that don't will wish they did.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
He was just adorable.
Sorry for your loss
and the grands that I reffered to who lost their gc to foster parents by the state was the state of Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. The child was taken from the hospital at age 2 weeks and adopted by the foster family at age 9 months, even though the grandparents (who already had the older 2 siblings in their care) were petitioning to adopt. This is a valid reason to keep kids with family.
So sorry for your loss. nm
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my "first child" at 13 in 2000 and still miss him deeply. The pain does eas with time and the good memories stay, though it does take much time. God bless.
Very sorry for your loss
Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a
beautiful girl. Hugs.
Very sorry for your loss..sm
You obviously gave your sweetie a good home and took wonderful care of her. Furkids do not have such long lives without constant love and attention. You had no way of knowing the exact time she was ready to go. You did your best to make her comfortable, and I believe she knew that and appreciated all you did.
When I lost my 17-year-old Whiskers in November, he was in an emergency clinic and I was not there. A scenario I never imagined. I was incosolable because, let's face it, 17 years (18 in your kitty's case) is such a long time to have someone in your life. There is a website that helped me through the grief--www.petloss.com. It may or may not be to your liking, but please at least check it out. You can write about your kitty and just get all the emotions out.
Please write again and let us know how you are doing. ((((hugs))))
I am so sorry for your loss...
it is so hard to loose our family member when they have been through thick and thin with us, giving us all their love. You should not feel guilty and have nothing to feel guilty about - you gave her a great life and she knows that. You did all you could (and more) to make her comfortable and she passed on knowing you were there with her and she no doubt felt it was a nice way to go....with her family in her own home. My thoughts are with you.
So sorry for your loss.
Handsome fella. What is his name? You obviously cared for him deeply, and I am sure your fur-friend knew this. Again, so sorry for your loss.
Am very sorry for your loss
It is so sad to lose a pet. We lost our two cats in 1989 (both died within 3 months from eacher other - were brother/sister). It is so hard and to this day I cannot talk about them as it chokes me up and I start crying as though it was yesterday and I feel such sadness (you would think after 9 years I'd be over it by now, but it still hurts - and now I can see why my mom never got over my baby sisters death). In amongst our research we wanted to know if pets go to heaven and came across some wonderful web sites. Here is a link to a site I just came across as my MIL just lost her cat. I hope it helps you during this time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
What a gorgeous boy he was. He reminds me of one of the shelties we had when I was growing up. Ginger was mostly my mom's dog, and all the kids had moved out by the time she lost her. She took Ginger's jingling collar with her on her walks for a long time.
I'm so sorry for your loss
My older brother committed suicide also, a long time ago now, but I remember how hard that was. Time helps but it never goes away completely. So sorry. :(
I am so sorry for your loss...sm
what a terrible thing to happen. You are right to dread the holidays. I would too.
I'm sorry for your loss...sm
22 years is such a long time to have a pet. I know he was a member of the family.
I'm very sorry. It must be a sad loss.
xx
I am so sorry for your loss. sm
It is never easy to go down that road, at any time, let alone after 22 years. I hope your Fred had a good, long life. My 4 cats and I will keep you in our thoughts.
