Help! My hair is falling out -_-"

**William** · 01-02-2007, 04:17 AM

GoW - while I would suggest the route you take is to visit a good quack, in the meantime one option is use a good bottle of beer as a shampoo. Understand it cannot be one of those chemicals beers, like Chang, Leo or Calsberg, but a good beer - something like a bottle of Ruddles.

Any chance you may find one of those in the fridge that your boyfriend hasn't drunk yet and is keeping for a special occassion? If so, nick it and pour it over your head.

It'll do your hair a power of good, but I cannot vouch for how your relationship with your boyfriend will be afterwards

Marmers is losing his hair faster than you GoW...so I wouldn't worry too much...

**El Gibbon** · 01-02-2007, 07:39 AM

GOW My Ms. had the same thing. After tons of miracle shampoos and other home remedies recommended by 'friends/exspurts" I finally convinced her to see a DOCTOR. WOW what an enlightening idea. So, finally off she goes to a decent hospital in Bangers and low and behold returns in about two hours with the following recommendation by the DOCTOR, relax. Stress related hair loss is fairly common in women. Marmers kinda lit the lamp with his post relating you've had some issues with stress for a year or so. There are a lot of ideas for reducing stress which I won't go into here. Check out the WEB you'll find a treasure trove. BTW, Ms' hair is just fine, nothing more than the normal 'exchange' of hair process that is normal. We threw out a boat load of crap dealing with hair when we moved two months ago. See a Doc. you'll at least sleep better. E. G.

I started losing some hair some years ago, I was put on new meds for emphazema that are steroids, thats what is doing it, I still have hair, but not near as thick as it was before, but even if it all falls out, better than dying to soon for lack of breath..

This is the difference, though. You 'believe' in doctors, she (apparently) doesn't.

So did mine.

I started loosing my hair before my wife got pregnant (ten years or so). Perhaps we are suffering from the same thing?

Your hair loss is unlikely to be related to this, though a tip for all is well in order - do not buy your known or unbranded shampoo in markets or anyplace other than a respected outlet, though this too comes with no guarantee of integrity.

Couple of years ago there were several reports (wasn't at TD so I don't know if DD posted them) of inexplicable hair loss all the way to baldness, by both young and elderly men and women, which was traced to cheap copies of branded shampoo that were sold not just off stalls but surprisingly even by Thai standards, also by some major retailers. At least one retailer was reported to have coughed up some compensation, and calls were made for regulation, though the same chemical impurities are probably still hiding behind Panthene and Head & Shoulder labels.

**Butterfly** · 01-02-2007, 09:18 AM

it's normal for women at a certain age to start losing hairs. And it can also be for some short periods. Nothing to panic about.

That said, crap chemicals and all those health care products made in Thailand should be avoided as a rule, they are worthless and some are dangerous and will create annoying allergies. Try to buy from overseas like in Singapore, better. French Health products are of course the best but a bit expensive.

Any Thai women who have lived overseas will never buy anything in Thailand in terms of care products, they can tell the difference right away.

If you find a cure, let me know.

I'd check the tablets, I'm sure hair loss can be attributed to hormon inbalance as well, if the tablets are for regulation periods they almost certianly contain hormones of some sort, see a tidy docter is a good move, take whatever medication you already are usuing with you as they may be responsible

**Thetyim** · 01-02-2007, 11:56 AM

Why is everyone blaming GOW ?

I reckon it's Marmite's fault.
Try grabbing the headboard in future

**klongmaster** · 01-02-2007, 12:39 PM

oh...and GoW...it's nice to see you back posting after a long absence...

**ChiangMai noon** · 01-02-2007, 12:41 PM

She's too busy in the bloody arcade.

I think she would be going through a rocky patch if that happened. Luckily, I drunk all the real beer in my fridge ages ago, so if anyone is going to be coming back from england sometime soon, a couple of bottles of proper beer would be very much appreciated.

The tablets were a short course taken about 15 months ago, but the problem they caused is still with us, or so it seems.

**William** · 01-02-2007, 01:55 PM

where's the "us" in this?

**Marmite the Dog** · 01-02-2007, 02:45 PM

Meaning that I have a capret of hairs in both my homes that I have to clear up.

again i just don't understand

**Lily** · 01-02-2007, 02:49 PM

Hi GoW, I think you will find that sometimes falling hair is inexplicable and no reason is ever found for it. It can be related to hormones, and quite often it is just natural hair loss but for some reason we just notice it one day and get panicked about it.

The average hair loss is about 100 per day, so you can lose a lot more than that or a lot less and it causes no damage.

**Lily** · 01-02-2007, 02:51 PM

You might also think about changing the brand of any medication that you take daily too (if you do)

**Goddess of Whatever** · 01-02-2007, 03:03 PM

Thanks to ya all. Tomorrow I will take a day off and I will go to see a doctor. Also find Nioxin shampoo (someone recommended this) for my bloody scalp.

Cheers,
GoW

**Marmite the Dog** · 01-02-2007, 03:09 PM
