How Many Hairs Do You Lose a Day??

[Hair Worrier]

hello all

I would really like to know how many hairs you are losing a day as my rate has gone up and down and now I no longer know if I am "doing good" or not.


Pre-regime change I lost almost 100 a day, some times more (120+) sometimes less.

Since I have attempted to address the problem: losing between 50-80 a day, 80-100 on a wash day. A few months back it was occasionally as low as 30 a day but now its gone back up.

Also, I have very thin hair, not a lot of body of movement in it so every strand lost really hits home for me.:eek:

I think I'm losing around 100 a day but I only counted for a few days when my derm asked me too. Some days seem worse, some almost normal. Yesterday was BAD.

I never counted but I am thinking between 20 to 50 a day. That doesn't sound like much, but my regrowth was so slow that after 14 years I had balding spots top. Had to get a topper.....

I would love to hear from anyone that might have some knowledge on what course of action I should take.....First I have been going through this for about 6 years. I have NOT been sitting around but cannot find anyone who is willing in my opinion to help me. 2 weeks ago I even made a two day trip to the University Of Wake Forrest in Winston Salem N.C. Dr. Pichardo was the women who saw me.. She was very nice BUT did blood work and hasn't even been back in touch with me... She told me that day that I had TE just by looking at my scalp with the extreme amount of hair I am lossing even if I had FPB it would not be like that... Started me on .25 Aldactone and 150 of Iron but I am still wondering what is causing the problem.. She said I needed to correct the problem for the TE to stop.. Recommended that I go to a good GYN but I feel I cannot fing anyone who can help me!!! I just wodered what anyone might think??? I am really loosing faith in the medical profession.. People have even mentioned Celiac's disease????? I just don't know... any help would be appreciated Thank You, Lisah:eek::eek::eek::eek:
