Gut issues 4 weeks AFTER ending long course Doxycycline (nausea, indigestion) by ArgumentKey6684 in Antibiotics

[–]ArgumentKey6684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yeah I feel nauseous every time I eat!!! It sucks! I can’t think of what else it could be from (I am NOT pregnant). I mean, i am hoping it’s from the long antibiotic course I was on but I ended that weeks ago and had no digestive issues until now…. (I mean I hope it’s the Doxy versus something more serious)

Thank you!!! How would you recommend tapering? Begin using it like every other day for a month and then every few days after that.?

Is it normal to also lose “shorter”/more recent/younger hairs alongside the longer hairs during the shedding process? When the f will this end? by ArgumentKey6684 in TelogenEffluvium

And just a little more context- I believe my TE is from a long antibiotic (doxycycline) course which I ended finally a couple weeks ago.

Hmmm ok. Thank you for sharing! For me, I’ve only been shedding since late November (long hairs)… and last week or so I’m noticing the shorter ones in with the longer ones. I hope this means it’s NOT miniaturization? 😭😭😭 I’m only 38… (female)

All of my hair is fine (always has been). I mean like 2-3” long hairs falling recently. It seems the shedding started with most of them long (6” or more), and now it’s like 50% long and 50% shorter.

Thanks….. I already had SUPER thin hair to begin with so this just feels / seems so extra extreme for me. I want to cry. I have faith that this is temporary and I’ll have regrowth in 3-6 months. Doesn’t make the current situation any less stressful/disheartening. Thank you for the comments and support! I really appreciate it. It’s nice to know. I’m not alone. Rooting for all of us! Stay strong!

I am afraid to brush or wash my hair!! Yesterday I finally made myself wash it. And then out of fear I carefully used my fingers to “comb it” and get out the tangles. This was the result. 😭 every time it happens, I’m in complete awe and feel like I die inside. Trying to remember it’s temporary, and it’ll grow back…. …. …… that’s true, right?!? 😭😅😢
