I heard of the symptom of hair loss with IC patients. I have been in treatment now for about 16 months and I had never noticed it at all. Until...about three weeks ago I started to notice it thinning in the front hair line and along my part on top of my head. I went to the store and bought rosmary oil and mixed it with olive oil and put it on my head. I heard it is good for regrowth. Does any one know why this happens? Is it nutrient deficiency or hormone imbalances? Also has anyone gotten to the point where a wig is needed? I have looked into them actually and am debating on using one. I run and climb so I would have to get the ones with adhesive. Or maybe I would just shave my head and were a bandana. I am nervous it is going to get so much worse. I am freaking out!!! Please let me know if you have any pointers!
HOpe everyone is having a symptom free day!

Mine was falling A LOT for months, i was worried but there is always new growing. I think is because inflamation and not absorbing nutrients. dont worry it will get better and stop falling. Mine us ok now!!!

Yea mine started to fall out a few months into treatment. I was bad for a couple of months, then just stopped.
Thanks everyone for
Thanks everyone for responding so quickly. I am glad that it will get better. How long does it take to grow back in? A few months? Did it fall out a ton? I am freaking out that it will get so much worse than it already is. My parents say they only notice it when I really point it out but I can totally see it. I guess my hair is kind of thin to begin with so I dont have any to give up! haha. I am also working as nurse doing night shifts and I don't think it is good on my body at all. Man it is crazy what this disease limits us to. NO flu shot, no night shifts and work is pissed. But i am starting to realize that I have to start putting myself first ahead of these other obligations. I think losing my hair is actually a blessing for this disease because it makes me realize how important it is to put my health first

Matia told me that the sf722 will make your hair fall out. I have been off of it for about a month and my hair is still falling out. I keep cutting it shorter so it does not look so bad. Anyway, she did say it would calm down soon! Fingers crossed!
