Greasy, greasy hair!!!

I'm not sure. I am on doxy and just have hair falling out like crazy. My thyroid is being tested, but I don't have the results yet. My hair is more dry and frizzy looking normally. I did have one period where it was "greasy" for me, but that lasted maybe a few weeks. I can't remember exactly when it was and if I was on anything at the time, but this hair falling out thing has been going on for weeks.

Hi Cccmama, I figured out the greasy/oily hair is toxins (from abx & die-off) coming out of you body. Your skin is your biggest detox organ. I specifically know when my body is working HARD to let stuff out when
A. my hair is oily and
B. when I wake up in the morning, the sides of my nose are like a slippery slope of oil (YuCk!).

Mary Kay makes "beauty blotters" which is great for absorbing oil like no other on sides of nose/face (female or male). Im out right now but need to order some more!

Make sure when your getting like this though, you wash your hair and remove the oily residue. If it sits there, it will probably just keep getting re-absorbed in your system and you dont want that.

As far as hair falling out, mine always has came out in gobbs when I washed it all my life but we have thick hair in fam so it always falls out but is still thick. I have heard of other lyme folks mentioning hair coming out though. I believe it will eventually resolve with treatment

You got it Cccmama!! For sure detoxing more would help! The quicker you can get things moving and OUT of your body...the lighter the future herxes and quicker the healing all in all!

Everyone has diff methods of detoxing they go by on here. Different strokes for different folks. Basically it is essential to help *assist* and support all your detox outlets (Skin, liver, kidneys, lungs, colon, lymph's).

Well detoxing your whole body would be best. Basically what I do is keep a spray bottle of apple cider vinegar mixed half with water in my shower. I initially started using this for candida build up in body that caused dandruff in head and ACV has antifungal properties. Although ACV helps with many things so it would hurt to use 2x a week when you wash your hair like I do and would maybe help strip the oily residue.

Of course you dont want your hair to smell like a pickle, so I spray on close scalp in like 6-7 places, then work into scalp good with fingers, then rinse. After that, I follow with my shampoo and conditioner and both of these eliminate the vinegar scent. This is the only thing I incorporate with my actual scalp.

Like I said theres many detox methods we use for body, and everyone has diff they prefer. If you dont know many of these, maybe start a post and I know many can chime in on their different methods and you can choose what you think is wise for your body.

Also, here is an AWESOME link to a good site for lyme info (detoxing methods):
