Yep--my hair was coming out in handfuls for quite some time after tx. Of course mine was also coming out because of thyroid issues. It is much better now--almost soft again. Have had a couple of haircuts--made the hair feel almost like pre-tx. Soft and curly instead of wiry and dry.

My hair loss got worse for a while after I finished all meds. Within two weeks my scalp began to get "crusty". There were actually flaps forming. It was sick. I got a bottle of walgreen's house brand dandruff shampoo and washed every day, scratching with fingernails. This is never a good idea. But it got rid of the problem. The hair has still not begun to grow back. I hope it does soon. Cold winter is coming.

That is such good news Judy. I am still losing alot of hair. I once had a head of thick curls now it is wispy and limp. I do know that it is continually growning back because under my thin limp locks I have plenty of fluffy undergrowth. Still, "I can't do a thing with it"

I'm 9 weeks post now, and in the past few days, less hair has been falling out. 3 days post tx, my hair started falling out like crazy, much worse than while I was on tx. I thought for certain I'd go completely bald. I think I'm actually starting to grow a little hair back now. I think.
