Help! I'm Losing My Hair!

my GP said they didn't think magnesium would have any effect, would you recommend it? I'm sorry you're going through this as well. Feel free to message x

there's meds to help with the pain, but that's about it. You'll still have flares and such. I took gabapentin for yrs, which is also an anti-convulsant, but has off label uses like nerve pain relief. But it does have a sedating effect. Now I take Lyrica (pregabalin), instead of the gabapentin. I also take Cymbalta which has some pain relieving properties as well as being an anti-depressant. Also getting more sleep can help with dealing with pain. I know insomnia is a huge issue. I also take sleep meds.

there isn't a specific medication for fibro. I currently take pregabalin got pain, which is an anticonvulsant with other beneficial uses. I take nortriptyline for sleep. That's a tricyclic antidepressant, but it doesn't affect my mood at all. That's the one they think may be causing the hair loss. I take 7 other medications as well so it could be a combination 🤷‍♀️ If you want any further information about medications that may help you, feel free to message. I worked in Healthcare until my health declined, so between that and my own health issues, I've got a pretty good grasp of it.

I don't, has your hair started getting thicker again?
