Hi, I am new to this board. Used to be on brain talk a good bit, but been a long time.
Dx 2001. No noticeable disability. Still work full time. But having some significant fatigue issues of late - reading here may be Tec related?
Was on B from '01 - '12. Began having very serious inj site reactions. Got where no place left to inject so I had to stop B in 10/12. After several surgeries last yr, I still [& probably always will] have hole in cheek of my bottom about 1/2" deep and wide and about 3" long where the worst of my site reactions was. Told by surgeon and plastic surgeon that so much scar tissue is there that additional corrective or plastic surgery not possible. . .
Started Tec a year ago. Other than my hair and the fatigue, very happy with Tec.
Been taking 5,000 mcg Biotin/day since b4 start of Tec. Had thought I was losing hair since about time start of Tec. Seems exponentially more noticeable now. Probably lost 1/2 my hair. [Thin & fine to start with]
Saw GP today. Front desk lady mentioned my hair looked different. When I said it is falling out. She realized that was the difference and apologized!
Got recent blood test results back. GP said test #'s are best he has ever seen me have [heart attack '05]. He looked at all my meds re hair loss. He is convinced Tec is causing my hair loss. He is going to get in touch with Tec mfgr, but somehow I doubt that will be magic.
So much for my hx. What to do about my hair? ? ? This is getting serious. I saw in an older post to try 2x amt of Biotin I have been taking so I will try that. BUT, please, suggestions, ideas welcome.
May not get back here for a while, so Many Thanks in advance for your ideas, insights and wisdom,
