Have any of you noticed an increase in hair loss?

About a year ago I noticed more hair in the shower than usual. My hairdresser recommended using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner which did help. I do color my hair professionally. Now I noticed the hair falling out again and my hairdresser mentioned it to me. Is this also a wonderful symptom of menopause or stress related (my dog drops hair when under stress)?

Thanks,
Pat

hi pat i too have been loosing hair like crazy.I just went to the hair dresser tues and she noticed also.It has been going on for about a year now but seems to be more so the last few mos. Just another lovely symptom of peri.I am so mad too because my hair was the only thing left that looked half way decent(sp) Ihope this too will pass. take care

Pat and Lynda,
I had this for a couple of years - it freaked me out thinking that I was losing my hair. I have noticed a big difference once on progesterone cream. I think it probably has to do with sluggish thyroid, which is very common in peri. It is more an on again off again kind of thing, not a progressive thing. Right now my hair seems almost back to it's origional thickness.
Hard not to feel overwhelmed with all these things, isn't it?

When I noticed that I was experiencing hair loss, I started to take a Biotin capsule ever day. Biotin is a member of the B complex family.
