Hi Everyone! I'm new and have questions! I'm starting to have thinning hair that might be caused by my medications, and stress. First, I want to explain my medical background to better explain why I am on these meds. I had two cervical and spinal surgeries for 3 of 6 herniated/degenered disks. My cervical surgery (two diskectomies w/ disk replacements, & a titanium plate) helped but have moderate limited mobility. My lumbar discectomy (L 4-5 w/plif cages, titanium) was disasterous. I still have severe pain, even more than before my surgeries and I am disabled, not only from the physical problems but also mental, due to Post Tramatic Stress Disorder caused from the unsolved murder of my 19 yr old son, Chris, 10 years ago. I have panic attacks, nightmares as well as "day" mares, & compulsive thoughts of that night. I was depressed for 5 years and didn't funtion well around others. I still have some social anxiety, I take serequel for nightmares, and
valium for anxiety. Antidepressants make me too numb. I also have to take two different (potent) strenghs of a time-released pain medication-3x a day, somedays I take 800mg Ibuprophen 3x daily, & occasionnally 1000mg of
Tylenol, once or twice daily (for breakthrough pain). I also take 25 mg of
Tenormin a day for hypertention, 40 mg of
pepcid for acid refux,& Miralax (for provention of constipation). Now are there some vitamins, and/or minerals that would be beneficial for mr to take that would help stop or slow down thinning hair? Is there something else that would put back the nutrients in my body that these very potent meds are surely being depleated from my system? I am 47 yrs old, and otherwise a healthy middleaged woman. To look at me, noone can tell I have all these problems, some days that is! If someone on this forum can suggest somethnig, I would be very grateful

, Thank you, "onespirit"
