You know, it just dawned on me that it could be our inability to properly digest nutrients. It takes a lot of good stuff to grow hair and nails...I know when my nails are thin and not that strong, there's something going on with my diet. Could be the same with hair...

Hey Susan,
Im w/ everyone else, stress & medication. I dont know if being post menopause can cause it ?? I have had hair loss throughout the years , but about 1 yr ago I had hair breakage & I think that was totally a medication thing.
Good talking to you in chat last night <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> joni

Susan. I am 50 , was dx this yr also and have extremely thinning hair. The ONLY thing that stopped it was taking shaklee women's complete vitamins. this was the most complete vitamin, mineral supplement i could find. My hair started growing back. just had to stop taking them b/c of $ and my hair is falling out big time. there is somehting in them that works (minerals? trace minerals?). there is a TON if "extra" stuff in this product that others lack.

Hey Joni - great chatting with you and stacey, jonathan, and david, as well (oops, I may be leaving someone out). I always find your chats so uplifting. I'd still hope to meet cf'ers in person some day.

Hi LTA - so sorry for all your troubles...but very glad to meet you. It always helps meeting another cfer diagnosed later in life. I'd never heard of cf in adults until i was dx. Thanks for the information Shaklees - I'll have to check it out.

Thanks, Susan, for your kind words. It always surprises me when someone thinks I've had it hard--we are a laughing household, always joking around. My life is pretty wonderful--I teach art in an elementary school and the kids are so excited to see me! Oil painting is my joy--yes, I only do it outside due to fumes!--and I'm having a great time. I'll be sure to check into Shaklee vitamins--I'm currently taking over the counter ones for hair and nails, recommended by my pharmacist. My nails are doing better but not my hair!! Thanks, LTA, for the info!
