No more shedding

Okay, I am not going to get my hopes all up but my hair has not shedded for 1 1/2 weeks. This is the first time it has stopped shedding for this long. (6 years since it began) I was using Rogaine about 2 months ago and I wonder if I am now seeing the results. I have used it in the past and I didn't really notice a difference so I am not positive it is the Rogaine. I started back using again just in case. About 6 years ago when it began the doctor said it was telogen effuvlium and that it typically stops after a couple of months or when the stress your body is under stops. I read that it has lasted in a couple of patients for almost 6 years, so I wonder if I am one of those. I have been taking a vitamin that is supposed to be tailored to your medications. The vitamin I take has alot of Vitamin D, B-12, Folic acid, and Vitamin B-6. I think too maybe I am healing because I have learned acceptance. I have been terrified of losing my hair and what others and myself will think of myself. With prayer and support from people like you I found acceptance and peace and I am sure this has contributed to it greatly. Thanks everyone!!

That's wonderful, Dawn!! I hope that your shedding stops forever. But even if it doesn't the acceptance and peace you've found is all you need to be ok. :o) You are you with or without your hair.

Hugs,
Mandy

Dawn,
I am so glad your hair has stopped shedding, it is always good to hear positive situations that are going on instead of always hearing the downside. Keep praying and keep the faith.
