Cool

I just went to see my dermatologist about it. He said that it should turn around. Also, on my head, the loss has dramatically slowed. (It IS amazing, though, how much you can lose before you start to see scalp, isn't it?)

According to websites I've read about telogen effluvium, the hair falls out when the follicle switches from resting to active -- so it's really the new hair that's pushing the old hair out. So you shouldn't worry that you're going bald -- you're really just getting a brand new crop of very short hair.
