Not Much of a New Topic...Hair Loss Anyone?!

I have read several comments about hair loss.  Mine is getting thinner every day and I can see small areas under the rest of my hair that are looking very thin and almost bald.  I have kept my hair longer and it looks like it is shortening up all on it's own now.  Am ready to get what is left cut even shorter to make it look a little fuller.

I have read that some recommend taking biotin.  One member said that they take horsetail/silica.  Just want to hear success stories because I am really getting down in the dumps over all of this.  Not that I have ever been infatuated with my hair, but I don't want to look like a bowling ball!

36 yr old, married, mother of 3

Diagnosed in April 2007

Currently in remission

Lialda - 4 tabs/day

Azathioprine - 100 mg (but only took 50 mg today...want off of it)

Probiotics - one before every meal (don't think I am taking the right one..asidophillus?)

Mangosteen juice - 3-6 oz.

It is a awful feeling.  I now have lost most my hair on the top of my head and left side.  There is no way for me to hide it or style it to cover.  A few people have asked if I'm having chemo.  I bought a wig a week or so ago.  I've started taking biotin 3000 mg.  I haven't noticed it helping yet, but I heard it takes time.  My hair is still falling out and hasn't started to grow back yet.  Hang in there!  Maybe go look and try on wigs.  They have come a long way and look real, even the synthetic ones.  It's done wonders for me feeling better through all this.
