Unhappy I'm still losing it...

Okay everyone! I am freaking out I keep losing hair and I heard that it's supposed to stop but I still keep losing hair. My hair used to be thick and nice and it's so thin now. I have been on Atkins since February 19, 2003. This is awful.

I am drinking lots of water. I am taking supplements. What's up? I don't think it will be much fun being bald but thin.

Help please.

Peace
red

Hi Harley! Hey Meghan! Thanks. Meghan did the "extract of saw palmento" help your hair grow back? How long did it take you to see results? Did you get it from a health food store or the pharmacy?

Peace

Hi,

have you called your doctor about this problem? If I were you, I'd mention it to him/her as there might be other explanations than diet-related ones, that she/he might know how to treat.

Hope that helps ,

Agnes

Have your doctor check your thyroid function. Low thyroid levels can cause hair thinning.
