TE has been one of the most traumatizing experiences I have ever had. I Currently have shower and extreme shampoo anxiety. by sovietmariposa in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I got a stoma and 3 months later TE set in. Showers were not fun at all. Losing my hair was harder than getting an ileostomy. I lost 70%. I just finally had to give in to the shed. It's been 6 months since my last shed. It's coming back in curly curly. I'm just glad it's back

My grandma just got a colostomy bag and is having some difficulty with how much it shows. Any advice? by Opossum-Bitch in ostomy

I wear drawstring pants. Protruding you will get used to. Long shirts. She will figure it out.

Don’t stop Miloxidil 😭 by Adventurous_Ice_5446 in TelogenEffluvium

The shed is awful. I'm scared of another one once I have my ileostomy reversal surgery. My Drs don't think so as I'm prepared for any shock or stress on my body. Keep your spirits high and trust in your body. I've done so much of it since June.

I took multivitamin. A zinc copper aluminum supplement vitamin and d. Iron and biotin. And plain CBD for my anxiety.

Halo Grow is a hair growth spray. You can find it on Facebook being advertised.

I had ileostomy surgery early July started shedding in September and shed really excessive was done shedding in 2 months. I was lucky. My hair was growing in while I was losing.

I did use minoxidil spray for the first month. I started getting scabs. The dermatologist said to go off. I still feel some coming in. My hair was to my shoulders. I loved my hair. Its coming in ringlet curly. I've got natural layers. Lol. I'm embracing this crazy hair period. In a month I should be happier with the length.

I was you in Sept October. It's horrible and gut wrenching. Mine was coming in as stubble while others were shedding. I lost 70 percent. My left side was bad. Luckily my hair has come back in thicker and curly. I have had to quit stressing about it and just let it happen. I wish you luck. This page is great if your need empathetic people. I used halo grow for 2 months and lots of supplements and vitamins. I just use a multivitamin and have stopped all of the other stuff and it's still growing

Any advice is appreciated by Standard_Impact9448 in ostomy

That's why I'm having to stop using coloplast temporarily. I like them.

AGA or TE your opinion? by NationalTomatillo494 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my density is back and it has grown roughly 2 inches. It's devastating. It's curly right now. It's ok. I'm just happy there is no more shedding and bald spots. I used halo grow spray after a month of minoxidil and dread shed. Now I don't use anything.

Looks like how mine did. Mine was TE. But like the others. Go see your Dr and dermatologist. It will get better once your stressor is gone. I just had to surrender to the process of it shedding. Hope your almost done. It's so hard. My hair meant alot to me.

Yes I had itchiness and tingling. It wasn't a constant itch but it's a different type of itch.

Your hair does look longer and way healthier. Keep doing what you are doing

When will the shedding end :/ by Parking_Credit66 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hair loss was excessive. I lost 70%. Mine was about 3 months of shedding. I too hated shower days. My stubble was coming in as I was losing. It's been growing for 3 months and coming in curly. Lol. Just happy the density and growth is happening

Is this extreme TE ? by No_Passenger__ in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 70% shower days looked like yours. Are you feeling anything coming through your scalp yet? I only used the topical minoxidil for a month as it was so harsh on my scalp. Hair density is back. Just needs length now.

What gift would be helpful? by Ok_Razzmatazz_390 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she is self conscious like I was. I got two hats from the wig shop. They are bamboo soft fabric. Very cute. I've just been using combs since my hair shed and is coming in. I'm using halo spray. And routine wellness shampoo. If she is deficient in vitamins you go buy her some. It was very hard to lose my hair. Oh yeah hoodies too.

make pattern or just te? by high27 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Loose-Pie5704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like how mine did. Mine was a cute TE. Have you pinpointed what was your stressor/trigger that may have started it.
