It's so hard when the meds that are supposed to make us feel better do things to our bodies that make us feel badly. I have been dealing with serious weight gain and have put on about 50+lbs in the last year. I went to Weight Watchers last night so I have sparked hope about my weight.

I don't know what texture your hair was to begin with, but I know that mine is dry and has always been. I make sure to wash it only once each week with a shampoo that has no sulfates. One brand that is really good is Deva No-Poo. It is meant for curly hair, but is more of a thick nourishment that you rub on your scalp.

I worry that my hair will fall out eventually from my meds, but so far I have been lucky. I wish I could offer you solid advice on what to do about it, but maybe your med doses are too high. Can you talk to your p-doc and explain what you are going through?

I hope things get better, and in the worst case scenario, you could just embrace it and shave it all off or get it really short and spiky, and make use of great hats and scarves.
