Must admit, I've been away from this site for some time... got caught up with living!

Strange thing though.  Am almost 4 years out now and all of the sudden, my hair is falling out so quickly... I dread looking at the shower drain :-s

Any suggestions to preserve what little hair I have left?cool

The best way to save your hair is to find out what is causing you to lose it.  Have you had labs done recently?  Did they include zinc and Vit A (many docs don't test for these)?  Are you still getting enough protein?  If you are over about 45, even if you are post-menopausal, it could be from a hormonal drop.

It is probably time to make an appt with the doctor.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

My surgery was in 07.  I have issues with my hair mostly cause I keep having Iron issues.  Can't seem to get enough and heading for second go around of Iron infussions.
