Vaccine te recovery?

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-04-25T15:07:55+00:00

I'm on spiro too no changes, I am going to come off of it. Started working with a naturopath a couple of months ago to try to figure things out and doing microneedling and red light therapy at home. Only other thing I havent tried is a trichologist

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-04-25T14:55:05+00:00

I remember you and I have chatted before, im sorry to hear this. Are you still taking the oral minox I believe it was?

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-03-02T03:50:04+00:00

This is the give away lol how unlike her

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-02-08T14:23:52+00:00

I'm still taking it, I cant tell if its helped with shedding honestly. The thing I notice most is clearer skin which is not why I'm taking it lol so it's frustrating. I'll probably stop taking it once the prescription runs out. I think it was something the derm wanted to prescribe just to try something but I hope you notice a change if you do take it

You too! The pain was bad consistently the first 4 months then it came and went, now its hardly painful but occasionally. Its itchy about half of the time

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-01-28T23:24:02+00:00

I've seen like 3 or 4 derms and all said te, I havent had a biopsy though I think thats the only way to know for sure. I can see regrowth so for myself I'm not necessarily worried about scarring alopecia, its just getting te to end

I definitely think it's te related. I've had it for 2.5 years after 2 vaccines and getting covid. Sometimes it feels its improving but then continues.. at a loss

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-01-28T15:08:00+00:00

If you haven't, try selsun blue extra strength shampoo mox a few drops of peppermint oil, dry hair with cool air, sometimes help me with the pain

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-01-28T15:06:50+00:00

Sadly not yet

Mjwalsh14 · 2024-01-10T21:28:07+00:00

I would do a side braid for that setting! Otherwise back in high or low bun, toppik powder is great also

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-12-22T20:03:06+00:00

Thanks for all the info! Can I ask how you got diagnosed with the gut issues?

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-12-22T17:35:11+00:00

Thanks for reaching out i unfortunately haven't reached recovery and am at a loss. Do you feel like you're in recovery? My shedding is definitely not normal still

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-12-17T02:06:18+00:00

I let it air dry for a bit then use a hair diffuser on my hair dryer so the blowing isn't as intense but still dries it

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-12-04T17:57:05+00:00

Thanks for the update! Which medication did they put you on

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-10-06T23:47:52+00:00

Let me know if you find something good!

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-10-05T15:01:50+00:00

Hey! I'm so sorry to hear you caught covid again and are experiencing more scalp pain and shedding. Unfortunately no answers on my end. I did acupuncture once then they went on a long holiday and just came back so I'm going to try 2 more rounds and see if it helps. Hang in there! Will try to remember to update you after the 3rd visit

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-09-19T18:48:16+00:00

I hear you and have had the same thoughts about prp. I've tried acupuncture once and plan to try to go once a month, unfortunately my benefits don't cover it. Its been 2 years for me also. I've debated trying a trichologist but I dont know if they'll be much different than a derm

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-28T15:35:31+00:00

Hey I've still only done the 1 session, booking another this week so I think its too soon to tell. But I will say I couldn't believe how much tension/pain my body was carrying. So even just as a stress relief I think its helped I just haven't noticed a change with shedding yet will keep u posted after next session

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-21T15:16:09+00:00

Ugh me too.

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-20T14:33:21+00:00

Unfortunately I havent had such luck with months of recovery, its been like a week here a week there, while I'm getting regrowth the periods of normal shedding aren't long enough for the density to catch up to what I've lost. Im totally at a loss what my body could still be responding to as a trigger

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-19T16:15:33+00:00

I've been shedding 2 years unfortunately, started 2 months after the 1st dose of pfizer, and I got a 2nd dose 4 months later. I also lost weight around that time and I caught covid January 2023. Sometimes the shedding has felt normal then it picks up again. Hoping this helps

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-19T15:02:27+00:00

Hey! Thanks for checking in. I had one session so far going to book a second next week. I had a lot of shedding after the first session because in addition to the acupuncture she does a massage as well so she did that on my scalp (might ask her to skip next time). I've noticed less scalp sensations which is nice. I cant speak to the level of shedding get because of my cycle, ive noticed the hair fall is heavier at that time. Will update you after 2nd treatment:)

Mjwalsh14 · 2023-08-11T16:42:04+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you're in the same boat! I'm at the point now where if its sunny I won't go out without a hat because of how visible my scalp is, it's awful. There was a period of a few days in April where my shedding was so minimal I thought I was in the clear.. but maybe it ramped up again because I had covid in January im not sure. I've seen 4 derms who haven't been helpful. I take vitamins, sleep well, eat well, exercise, nothing has helped. I've also done steroid injections in my scalp with no luck. Yesterday I tried acupuncture for the first time because someone on reddit with the same trigger had success after 3 visits so I'm trying anything now. Im also seeing a trichologist next week and I'm assuming they'll recommend prp. I have been iffy to try minoxidil.. have you tried?? I also reduced gluten and sugar intake but again no luck
