Hi everyone,

I'm doing pretty well these days. I had a couple of bad days last week where my muscles ached really bad and I felt like I was coming down with Lyme all over again, but then it went away, and I went running 7 miles at least over the weekend.

But I just haven't been able to figure out why I started to lose hair all of a sudden. Every summer my hair starts falling out, but this summer it's worse than usual. What I'm trying to figure out is why it only happens in the summer. I'm using the same shampoo and I don't swim in chlorine pools or anything like that. Maybe it's shedding season for humans, I don't know. Any ideas?

Your exercising outside in the heat, more sweating = more sebum = clogged hair follicles and possible increased scalp yeast also possibly creating dandruff.

Time to research better shampoo (or have you?) and ditch the 3 in 1 soap/shampoo/conditioner if thats what your using.

Dont use the same shampoo over and over.

Nizoral contains 1% Ketoconazole which is anti yeast, this not only eliminates dandruff but is also good for clogged hair follicles.

Low thyroid makes hair fall out as well as high cortisol (stress).

Thanks for your reply. I haven't gotten my thyroid tested in a while—maybe I should get it tested again.

I should probably try a different shampoo. I like the one I'm using, but it may not be good for my hair.

I also go through cycles of losing hair. Do have thyroid issues on medication and also taking cortisol. Not sure why I lose my hair and my hormone MD nor my LLMD have any ideas. I had very thick hair and now it's fine and thin.

I use Renpur Biotin and Collagen thickening shampoo and conditioner. Also take bitotin and collagen as supplements. Nothing seems to help.

Part of the mystery of lyme disease I guess.

Pumpkin seed oils caps and saw palmento gel caps supposedly help hair roots after 3-4 months.

I started a b complex vitamin and I think it is helping.
