So I finally got my lab results back, and I'm low on vitamin D. I'm at 17 when normal is 30. I googled and well boom that's the cause of my hairloss. That I've been struggling for almost 3 years, and my cholesterol is high not enough to put me in meds..but now the weight loss must start a.s.a.p. I'm so damn happy I found the problem and I'm hoping it gets better!. Ladies get checked please, I wouldnt of never known. And I was scared to go to the doctor took me a year to get the labs done..
At least I’m not the only one who struggles with hair loss, I’m also low on vitamin D as well. I have been taking the pills for it too. Glad you got your blood work done.
@lezlie527, oh wow really he didn’t know that? I think I developed hair loss was when I started going to the gym and would take a shower in the night. It’s crazy because I have 4 bald spots and embarrassing. I always have to cover my hair in a bun so they won’t show. Luckily, my hair is growing back little by little. I have been taking the hair, skin, and nails with biotin and I think that’s working because I now see a difference in my hair.
@momma_of_1 no he didnt, I told him I had it with both kids but with my son it hasn't stopped falling out. I'm going on 3 years of bad hairloss, I still have hair luckily but now you can really tell I'm thinning. All around my hair line. He literally looked at me like I was crazy! And said hold on I'll be right back. Left for 15mins and came right back, I know this man went out to google it. Lol came back and said wow! I've never heard of it, but dont worry it will grow back. And I told him I'm past the point of postpartum hairloss, it has to be something else..and he ordered labs. Question have you been on a weight loss journey? I went through hairloss from losing weight. It stopped eventually, fast weight loss causes hairloss as well. But I'm glad to hear your hair is growing back,and your taking your vitamins. I'm hoping after atleast a month i will start seeing a difference.
@lezlie527, seems like you need to change a doctor ASAP. You know what else you can try, it’s over the counter at CVS pharmacy it’s called “rogaine”. It’s about $65 I think, that should also help. Yes I started on a weight loss journey while attending the gym but that’s when I noticed I started having bald spots so I stopped.
Thank you, I was honestly scared something was terribly wrong. Thankfully, just vitamin D and my cholesterol was a little high. Glad your results came back good and your on good health. I agree we need to take care of our health
I was scared too, I have been so weak and tired. Turns out I'm pregnant on top of not taking my thyroid pills lol I'm back on them now though and go back in 5 weeks to recheck my levels!
I had 2 babies right after the other. 10.5 months apart and 2 c section in less then a year. I know that took a big toll on my body. And contributed to my defincensy, right after having my son I went to postpartum depression and bad anxiety. For a while I thought it was my IUD and I took that shit out. I'm hoping it is the vitamin D deficiency that's causing the hair loss.. my doctor did mention I'm extremely low. But I'm taking my vitamins now going on my 3rd day👍🏼
