Perimenopause hair loss
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi ladies
Has anyone in peri had symptom of hair loss? I have noticed the last month or so that I am losing a fair amount of hair when I wash my hair.
I had blood tests last month and confirmed I am in peri and thyroid normal.
Any Suggestions or hair products I should be using?
Thanks,
Sydneymum

This peri stuff sucks! 99 symproms and then some...I knew about hot flushes, but knew zero, nata about all the other ugglies, like night sweats, anxiety, dizziness etc.... worst of all is this open ended answer from medicos that it can last 2-10 yes ...."or so".Seriously!

Maybe the women in our families keep quiet after as they dont ever want to think about it ever again 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I make my lot listen, tell them how it is, even my son, so he's aware what his woman may have to deal with.
If we go out we laugh as i start taking layers off, and say slow down buddy, mums on fire again 😊😊😊

i've been doing a little bit of research on menopause and yes, up until a generation ago, women wouldn't want to talk about it for fear of being "put away" due to "imbalance of humors".

As for our air/food/water.....don't start me off!! Always remember listening to Marvin Gayes 'What's Going On'....way back in the early 70s, and he went against advice and released that album. Wasn't wrong, was he?!!

)
You're lucky NOT to have and to listen to it all! My mum, aunts and their pals all used to gather at my mums every week. And it was more a case of what they DIDN'T talk about!! Sex, sex, kids, men and sex!! They were all in their 60s, all widowed, smoke, drank, danced and laughed a lot. All hung around till their 80/90s. Tells ya something! I miss my mum and those ol' gals so much. Proper Sarf London salt-o-the-earth gals xxx
Sisters: I have 3 and used to say i'd trade at least 2 of them in for another brother. Its now all 3 :-) :-) :-) !
At least you know you can ask/get answers to questions on here - its great:-) !

Oops my mental fog prevented me remembering! I do now remember you mentioned it before. Peri sucks!
Thanks, I will get some kelp tomorrow when I am at the shops.

well it works i took it years ago for hair loss and peri and my hair stopped coming out .
Beginning of last year i stopped taking it as thought may not need it anymore, and weeks later hair was coming out worse than ever.. Restarted Kelp and it doesnt come out at all again, ( apart from the normal odd one )
Takes about 6-8 weeks to kick in and needs taking daily ..
also good for nails etc and all peri things

Always happy to take supplements if they help and someone has recommended them...presently taking calcium and vitamin D on recommendation from gp to protect bones and I was low in Vitamin D from blood test results (here in Australia the medicos are obsessed with vitamin D at the moment). Also taking magnesium to help with hormonal anxiety and muscle tension and iron tablets. Quite a cornucopia of vitamins I am taking every day. But they help so am prepared to do it. Will add the 100mg kelp as I am worried I am shedding my hair and it freaks me out every time I bath to see my long strands left behind.
Thank you for your wisdom and experience. It is much appreciated!
g'day from Australia!

I was also interested in this as my hair is EVERYWHERE: rugs, sinks, car, clothes (cardigan/sweaters etc are really covered!). Worse still (so I'm told
!) are the hairs that my family find in their food
!
Sydneymum - I'm still reeling that you have to have a 'monthly root tint' - the cost of maintenance!!
Although I've never been bothered by being a natural blonde - totally wasted on me, the eternal Tomboy/Geeza Bird! Just think Boris Johnson rather than Agnetha (Abba) unfortunately) - no I jest: his hair is tooooo blonde and totally nuts!!), I am now just SOOOOO grateful now as my hair is turning white and looks like expensive blonde highlights!!
I shall give Kelp a go as although I'm having my haircut next week, I'm sure it won't be long before I'm noticing how much its thinning.
Seems so funny that I used to have my hair thinned out when I was a kid!!
Maybe we should give it a go - what's to lose?

I'd been reading about your love of Kelp for your hair. But can I pick your brains: had I imagined it when I also read that Kelp was beneficial to brittle/breaking nails??
Yep, you've guessed it, I've got those too, to 'tick off' on my Personal Peri List!!
