I’m not currently receiving any form of treatment for my Lyme disease, despite the fact that I should be. I have recently noticed over the last few months that my hair is falling out. I don’t know if it’s the Lyme causing it or not but I thought I would throw it out there and see. If you have the same problem is there anything that can be done for it? Thanks for the help!

My hair fell out too. In my case, it was from Lyme and company. I got an LLMD and started on antibiotic therapy. Also supplements, herbs, and lots of supportive therapies. I also added biotin.
In my opinion, I think you should seek medical attention from a LLMD ( Lyme litterate medical doctor)

My Dr said hair loss is almost always from thyroid problems. I would suggest you get a thyroid panel done.

Most of my hair fell out too, at one point. I was going through a very stressful situation and I was eating a bad diet, plus the Bartonella was really flaring up or something.
It all grew back in fairly quickly, and I think getting on a better diet helped a lot.
I think zinc and copper and B vitamins are supposed be good for hair.

I agree that diet and gut health play a great role on general health.
My hair usually falls more in colder seasons, but due to very strict diet (rich in nutrients), the condition has greatly improved.
If you don't have anyone to treat you against lyme, treat by yourself (until you find help).
Waiting too long is NOT a good thing.
Buhner's herbs are not that expensive, but you got to study his protocols before starting.

Thyroid, I think. I tested low thyroid and am now on Armour thyroid - it's an Rx.
