Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2006hair loss
hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy. I take thyroid medicine because I had my thyroid removed and I take diabetes medication. I was on thyroid meds for 10 years before I got diabetes and I have been diabetic for 3 years. has anybody else lost hair due to diabetes meds? all my docs say these don't cause hair loss but I found people on the net that say their meds have made them lose their hair or at least it has thinned out drastically any help would be great. thanks! > hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy.

You can look up whatever meds you're on at rxlist.com and check for side effects. Also, check out askapatient.com.

All things are possible when it comes to meds. You haven't had a baby lately have you? My hair fell out in bucketloads about 4 months after the birth of all of my children. Mine did too. I used to have quite thick hair, and still don't have to do a "comb over" but it's getting pretty thin. :-( -- Cheri Ozgirl wrote in message <12n19ssa3q87qdd@news.supernews.com>... >All things are possible when it comes to meds.

I also take thyroid meds and my hair did exactly the same thing once I started on Avandament - asked my doctor about it and he thought it was because my body was still reacting from the stress of a pacreatitis attack and not the medicine, but I wonder. It stopped about 2 months later. Connie >> hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like >crazy. I take [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >had a baby lately have you?

Hair thins as one ages, and menopause has a lot to do with it. I lost a lot of hair when I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's but it stopped and the hair regrew once I started taking the meds regularly. Have you changed how you take your thyroid meds? Remember, you can't take it with iron or with a multivitamin that contains iron, even if it is chelated iron. >> hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy.

That's odd - I haven't had any hair loss at all since diagnosis:-) http://beta.blogger.com/profile/02868809225921579099 Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1000mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Pompeii, Amalfi, Bari > That's odd - I haven't had any hair loss at all since > diagnosis:-) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ > latest: Pompeii, Amalfi, Bari Hmmm, I forgot about testosterone :-P >hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy.

Has your doctor run a complete thyroid panel on you lately? Latina mom You may like to consider trying homeopathic remedies which can help and are very safe. You will need to find the right remedy among many listed on the following link. http://www.stormpages.com/saibabaserv/Diabetes.htm Take a look and see of you can find something. Do email me back, if you need any assistance from me Arun > hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy.

Every so often we get a spammer here who actually is not just evil and avaricious - but positively and directly dangerous. I had some time to kill so I listed all of the "remedies" for diabetes symptoms on that extraordinary homeopathic web page. Presumably it works on the "whatever doesn't kill me will make me stronger". In this case, the problem would be getting past that first phrase "Whatever doesn't kill me". I've put the full list below; I'm no chemist so those who are can pick it apart, but even a layperson like me can pick out a few that look positively illegal and probably lethal: Adrenaline Arsenicum Album Arsenicum Iodatum Belladonna Carbolicum Acidum Coca Codeinum Curare Lactic Acidum Morphinum Natrum Sulphuricum Nitric Acidum Opium Strychninum Arsenicosum Uranium Nitricum and the rest: Aceticum Acidum Argentum Metallicum Argentum Nitricum Aristolochia Milhomens Arnica Asclepias Vincetoxicum Aurum Metallicum Aurum Muriaticum Boric Acid Bovista Bryonia Capsicum Carbolicum Acidum Ceanothus Americanus Chamomilla Chelidonium Majus Chimaphila Umbellata Chionanthus Virginica Colchicum Crotalus Horridus Cuprum Arsenicosum Eupatorium Purpureum Fel Tauri Ferrum Iodatum Ferrum Muriaticum Fluoricum Acidum Glycerinum Glonoinum Grindelia Helleborus Helonias Iodum Iris Versicolor Kali Aceticum Kali Bromatum Kreosotum Lachesis Lecithinum Lyocpersicum Lycopodium Lyssinum Moschus Murex Natrum Mur Nux Vomica Phosphorus Pancreatinum Phosphoricum Acidum Phloridzin Physalis Picricum Acidum Plumbum Iodatum Plumbum Metallicum Podophyllum Rhus Aromatica Squilla Secale Silicea Syzygium Sulphur Taraxacum Tarentula Hispanica Terebenthina Urea Pura Vanadium Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1000mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Mycenae and the Argolid [Default] On 4 Dec 2006 00:44:37 -0800, "Arun" <saibaba101@hotmail.com> Giggled into the madness of usenet: >Latina mom > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Arun stormpages.com is a free web hosting site, they give 25 meg sites. to punish the spammer send complaints to: webmaster@stormpages.com [Default] On 4 Dec 2006 00:44:37 -0800, "Arun" <saibaba101@hotmail.com> Giggled into the madness of usenet: >Path: be16.lga!hwmnpeer02.lga!hw-filter.lga!hwmnpeer01.lga!news.highwinds-media.com!news.glorb.com!postnews.google.com!79g2000cws.googlegroups.com!not-for-mail >From: "Arun" <saibaba101@hotmail.com> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > >Arun Spamming out of hong kong. send complaints to: groups-abuse@google.com UCE@FTC.GOV spam@ftc.gov spam@uce.gov abuse@reach.com inetnum: 202.41.224.0 - 202.41.239.255 netname: REACHGIA-IN descr: Reach Global Internet Access Network Block for Asia Pacific Region country: IN admin-c: PHNO2-AP tech-c: PHNO2-AP mnt-by: APNIC-HM mnt-lower: MAINT-AP-REACH changed: hostmaster@apnic.net 20010419 status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE changed: hm-changed@apnic.net 20040311 source: APNIC role: Network Operation Center of Reach Networks HK Ltd address: Telecom House address: 3 Gloucester Rd. address: Wanchai, Hong Kong country: HK phone: +852-2883-2255 e-mail: ipnoc@reach.com trouble: Send spam & abuse reports trouble: include detailed information & times in UTC trouble: to abuse@reach.com. admin-c: CC318-AP tech-c: RIN1-AP tech-c: RGHD1-AP nic-hdl: PHNO2-AP remarks: http://www.reach.com notify: carmen.m.chow@reach.com mnt-by: MAINT-AP-REACH source: APNIC changed: carmen.m.chow@reach.com 20021001 >hi everyone, my hair has been thinning/shedding like crazy.

I'm not on meds, so I can't help you with that. I've never had really thick, lucious hair, but after I found out last year I was diabetic, cut the carbs and got my BG under control, it was like I turned into Rapunzel. It was thick and grew faster than it had when I was a kid. Then a few months later (I've been so good, pizza for dinner won't hurt), I went on an extended carb binge and almost immediately my hair started falling out -- and I mean in clumps! It was so bad that the drain in the shower got plugged up whenever I washed my hair, and one day I felt something on my leg, thought it was some soap or something, but it was a huge clump of hair. My hair dresser estimated I lost 25% to 35% of my hair in less than two weeks, and the only conscious change was my diet. Six months after that, he said my hair was in better shape than it had ever been, and we thought it might have been either the diet change or hormones (I dont' know how old you are) or a combination of both. I've noticed that pretty much any drastic change in diet goes straight to my head, so to speak. ;-) Hope you get it figured out -- -- BlueBrooke T2/D&E/June 2005 The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first. |
