I have noticed significant hair loss since being on constant antibiotics for the past year. Anyone notice thinning during treatment? I am a young female so it's not like I have male pattern baldness.

Someone mentioned to me that a doctor told them that the constant antibiotics were throwing their amino acids all out of whack. It occurred to me that certain amino acids have a lot to do with hair. I'm wondering if the antibiotics are screwing up my amino acids and causing my hair to fall out. My LLMD is not sure that one of my infections (Have 3 probably 4) isn't causing it.

If you know anything about this please help!! It's really messing with my self image.
