Has anyone noticed that they lose their hair when they have had lyme? I am going through a terrible time with my hair, everytime I brush it, the sink is full of hair since I got sick two years ago. Just started a treatment plan. Don't want to go bald though.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

yes I lost a lot of hair, until I read about how almonds and corn are the worst thing to eat if you have hypo thyroid. I suspected I did (bloodwork always normal), so I stopped eating these two foods and my hair grew almost instantly.
it is worth a shot. note: I am gluten free so corn and almonds were staples for me

I think it might be due to lack of adequate thyroid. You could get bloodtested for thyroid sufficiency and if not enough, go on some. I like Armour thyroid. .

my thyroid always tests normal..
if you have "bottle cap tongue" then you have thyroid problem. most drs dont' even know this.

My hair used to fall out and we realized that I'm anemic. Now that I take a supplement for the anemia, my hair doesn't fall out anymore.

thank you all very much. I will get tested for my thyroid and anemia to see if this is the cause. Appreciate your comments.

my blood work ALWAYS normal until now- 22 years after my EM rash!
thyriod can still be off with "good" blood results- just be warned.
