Hair loss

[Thankgodforwine]

Hi
I had covid quite badly about a month ago for the second time. I've not been right since. I've been dizzy, forgetful...more than usual ha ha but the most stressful thing is last week my hair has started coming out , about three brushfuls every day, its getting so thin.
Has this happened to anyone else ? If so did it finally stop ?

I do feel for you. Mine is thinning all over after a long viral illness (it was either long covid or post viral fatigue, the doctor couldn't decide as symptoms are identical).

If you Google covid/hair loss, you will be reassured. It's very common, and it's temporary. You don't lose all your hair but it can be about fifty percent.

It takes time to regrow but generally it will after a few months.

I use an olive oil conditioner which may be helping a bit. The only thing is patience.

Thank you for your reply , I hope you are feeling better 😀
I've got topical scalp steriods from the Dr so I'm hoping that helps abit, I've got fine hair but I have loads of it ....well had loads 😫
