Hi Nuttie

I have bloody nightmare.....

really did upset me.

They found out I was vitamin B12 deficient I now have injections every quarter resulting in my hair growing back.

I'm not saying it was down to the vitamin B12 injections but my doctor said it could well be.

Regards

My hair is definitely thinning, losing clumps down the drain. Going gray too, have been dyeing it forever though, my natural color is a mousey brown. I never realized it had anything to do with the liver. 😧 Wth

I have, never realised it was liver disease in general, thought mine was side affect of medication.

I thought it was just a sign of the menopause that I lost some of my body hair esp underarm. About 15 mths post transplant it came back. Also my hair on my head is so much better and thicker.
