Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2005OTPish" lipitor and hair loss
anyone here on lipitor? are you going bald? it's getting scary. . . diane > anyone here on lipitor? are you going bald? it's getting scary. . . > > diane Yes and yes, but then I don't really think we get to blame lipitor for Charlie losing his hair. LOL. Wonder if grape seed extract would help. Jo No I'm not on Lipitor. Yes I am going bald. It's only scary when I walk past a mirror. Cooly > anyone here on lipitor? are you going bald? it's getting scary. . . > > diane lol, cooly. believe me, it's much scarier when you're female. i'm going to be bald in a month if this keeps up. diane My wife says I'm too sarcastic, I'm glad you saw the humor. Cooly > lol, cooly. believe me, it's much scarier when you're female. i'm going > to be bald in a month if this keeps up. > > diane Diane, I'm not on lipitor, but mine's falling out like crazy. I think it's stress. You wouldn't have anything like moving, househunting, deadlines, a sick boyfriend to take of and a new puppy in your recent past, would you? <ducking> I'm gonna give the grape seed extract a try. Thanks Jo :) Kimmy Yep - it is and has been - lipitor is said to help my brain - for that I will be thankful!! LOL~!! > Diane, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Kimmy definitely high on the stress-o-meter this year, kimmy, but i really do think it's lipitor + arava + menopause. when i got my first prescription of lipitor and read the hair loss side effect, i said a bad word. i knew on top of the arava, i was doomed, but it's happening so fast. the back of my hair looks great, so i just need a frontal wig. do they make them? :-) diane The grape seed etract worked wonders for me in stopping my hair loss. And mine is thing anyway so I rally needed help. I used to get lots when I washed my hair, now hardly get any at all. However, my hair grow faster now; a perm really doesn't last long enough! Gwen > Diane, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Kimmy gwen, that's wonderful. what caused your hair loss, do you know? diane Diane, mostly thyroid problems. Gwen > gwen, that's wonderful. what caused your hair loss, do you know? > > diane > anyone here on lipitor? are you going bald? it's getting scary. . . > > diane I'm on lipitor but I'm not going bald. Then again, I was losing hair fairly fast before lipitor thanks to the then mtx-Arava DMARD mix so I was hitting the grape seed extract to help that hair loss already. Do you take any? Grape seed extract and Biotin also can help. I've seen a big change in my hair loss - I could spare some because my hair is so blasted thick, but I was so exhausted with cleaning it up! Much nicer now.

Ok, Biotin is 1500mcg/day. When my mom's derm told her about it, she said, "take one pill and if that doesn't do it, try two." This was more about fingernails splitting, but it helps hair as well. Grape seed extract is one 30 mg capsule/day. That's how they sell it at WM (actually, I think it's called "Grape Seed Plus", though I forget what the plus is.) SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare I take standardized grape seed extract. Was taking two 50 mg tablets a day, but found 100 mg tablets at Sam's, so now only have to take one a day. Gwen >> how much grape seed extract and biotin do you take, nann? >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > (actually, I think it's called "Grape Seed Plus", though I forget what the > plus is.) thanks gwen and nann. i saw the doc today. she doubts it's medication induced. says it's hereditary. i have lots of hair in back and not much on the sides and front. said rogaine is the only hope. i told her about grape seed extract and she said it couldn't hurt, so i'm going to get some. sigh. diane > thanks gwen and nann. i saw the doc today. she doubts it's medication > induced. says it's hereditary. i have lots of hair in back and not much [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > diane I forget the details, but Harv has mentioned that his daughter had some hair loss troubles, I think while in college, and that biotin and grape seed helped a lot. I've got my fingers crossed for you. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare > I take standardized grape seed extract.

(nearest is 120 miles away) I haven't seen it there in the past. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare |
