All You Need To Know About Hair Loss

…when you report a named side-effect of a prescription medicine? Surely this data should be noted and doctor should give feedback on patient observations.
A close relative of mine was prescribed the anti-inflammatory prescription medicine ‘Voltarol’ (diclofenac sodium) and was convinced of suffering as a consequence one of the rarer named side-effects (1 in 100,000) of substantial hair-loss – whilst taking this drug. 75mg dosage for 4 years.

She stopped taking it and the problem seems to have abated.
The doctor was not interested in discussing it.

Doctors get "perks" from pharmaceutical companies. The more of the medication doctors prescribe, and the less reports of side-effects, the better the "perks."

What are vitamins?
Vitamins are substances that your body needs to work properly and keep you in good health. Most vitamins cannot be made by the body, so they have to be provided by your diet in small regular amounts.1
Why do I need vitamins?
Your body uses vitamins to do a number of things, including building and maintaining tissues and organs. Vitamins provide energy, boost the immune system, keep skin healthy and help keep the brain and nervous system in good working order.2

DRUGS are chemicals that can prevent, prolong the life, treat other effects of a health condition, improve the quality of life, and/or cure ailments and diseases, or alter the function of any part or chemicals inside the body. These drugs have approved therapeutic claims.
Drug Side Effects
A side effect is usually regarded as an undesirable secondary effect which occurs in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug or medication. Side effects may vary for each individual depending on the person’s disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health.
Side effects can occur when commencing, decreasing/increasing dosages, or ending a drug or medication regimen. Side effects may also lead to non-compliance with prescribed treatment.Medication
A medication or medicine is a drug taken to cure and/or ameliorate any symptoms of an illness or medical condition, or may be used as preventive medicine that has future benefits but does not treat any existing or pre-existing diseases or symptoms.
(Redirected from Adverse effect (medicine))
In medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. An adverse effect may be termed a "side effect", when judged to be secondary to a main or therapeutic effect, and may result from an unsuitable or incorrect dosage or procedure, which could be due to medical error. Adverse effects are sometimes referred to as "iatrogenic" because they are generated by a physician/treatment. Some adverse effects only occur only when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment. Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects. Adverse effects may cause medical complications of a disease or procedure and negatively affect its prognosis. They may also lead to non-compliance with a treatment regimen.
The harmful outcome is usually indicated by some result such as morbidity, mortality, alteration in body weight, levels of enzymes, loss of function, or as a pathological change detected at the microscopic, macroscopic or physiological level. It may also be indicated by symptoms reported by a patient. Adverse effects may cause a reversible or irreversible change, including an increase or decrease in the susceptibility of the individual to other chemicals, foods, or procedures, such as drug interactions.

Chemotherapy
The overall impact of chemotherapy on cancer survival can be difficult to estimate, since improved cancer screening, prevention (e.g. anti-smoking campaigns), and detection all influence statistics on cancer incidence and mortality. In the United States, overall cancer incidence rates were stable from 1995 through 1999, while cancer death rates decreased steadily from 1993 through 1999.[1] Again, this likely reflects the combined impact of improved screening, prevention, and treatment. Nonetheless, cancer remains a major cause of illness and death, and conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy has proven unable to cure most cancers after they have metastasized.

As is obvious from their origins, the above cancer chemotherapies are essentially poisons.

Side-effects
The treatment can be physically exhausting for the patient. Current chemotherapeutic techniques have a range of side effects mainly affecting the fast-dividing cells of the body. The most common side effects include (dependent on the agent):[citation needed]
Pain, Erythema, Nausea, Diarrhea or constipation, Anemia,Malnutrition

relax…laa..red thin line…I don’t talk too much I type too much…so how can I shut down…. I only can off the lap top that’s means I sleep…

they want to keep people ill… so they can get continues income.

So i started to write the whole story to this and then took a snippet for my english coursework, original writing. I want you to be as honest as you can and tell me whether its any good, i guess.

"Listen to me, keep your eyes open Dan, don’t you dare close them." I screamed shaking his arm as his began to shut. tears were streaming down my face uncontrollably; all i could hear was myself screaming and the noise of Doctors and Nurses hustling around me, fighting to stop the machine singing a loud clear beep.

"Dan don’t, please. Stay here, stay with me Dan!" I kept screaming shaking his arm vigorously hoping I could wake him from the nightmare. I remember taking hold of his now cold hand and pressing it to my enlarged stomach, "Dan can you feel him? Dan don’t leave us, don’t leave me here alone. Open your eyes!"

There was no response.

People hustled around me calling out digits and names of medicines; the machine still singing its long never ending beep, one that haunted my dreams. I could hear myself breathing heavily trying to stay conscious through my tears. My baby, our baby kicking violently within my stomach, he knew what was happening.

There laid my love, my best friend, my husband, a father attached to countless wires and tubes. His body moving like a dummy as Doctors hurried around him. His eyes were empty. The clear baby blue that usually sparkled with passion has turned hard and emotionless. He looked so pale so fragile, his skin no longer had its tanned colour and his cheeks no longer a rosy pink.
This was my love, my best friend, my husband.

"Dan listen to me, we did not fight for three years to give up now. Do you hear me? You cannot leave me here on my own to bring up our child, what am I meant to tell him? For goodness sake Dan come back to me now!" I screamed as his eyes were now open but as i reached out to take hold of his hand a Doctor told me it was an involuntary reaction to the amount of drugs they were pumping through his body.

Suddenly the machine sung a new song, a song of countless beeps. "Dan!" I wailed now smiling that he had come back to me. His eyes began to flutter and widen as he looked for something, for someone?

I put myself in his eyeline and smiled, "Hay- Hayl." Dan tried to speak but instead let out a quiet whimper. "Shhh, Dan don’t ever do that to me again," i whispered back as I kissed his cheek. His skin was stone cold and my lips were able to feel his cheekbone through his skin.

"Hayley, Hayley?" Dan mumbled louder, I turned to face him. he looked petrified his eyes wide with horror. Slowly Dan placed his hand on my stomach, on our baby., "I like the name george." he smiled to me, the first time he had smiled in a long while. Something there told me maybe he’d be alright. "Shhh, you’re ment to tell me this in two months time." I laughed, happy that he was back and happy tat he actually looked better than before. "No. no hayley I’m-"," dan tried to speak but all of a sudden let out a groan and his smile turned into pain, severe pain. "I love you Hayl-…I love you."

The machine turned back to singing the flat toned one continuous beep. Dan froze, his hand fell from my stomach and hung lifeless over the edge of the hospital bed. "Dan? Dan stop come back, DAN?!" I began to scream aonce more and cried like i never had before.

I realised that this time there were no rush of Doctors and Nurses fighting to stop the machine singing, instead they stood there at the foot of the bed staring at me. "Why aren’t you doing anything? Hurry do something, he’s dyi-…. DO SOMETHING!" I scaremmed at the one Doctor his eyes locked on mine. I wasn’t given an answer there eyes told me enough, to give up.

I quickly stood up and went to the end of the bed where syringes of medicine sat unused, "Do something anything please. I’m begging you I can’t be alone." I wailed holding out the needles to a nurse who looked like she too was about to cry. She simply turned her head away from me and sniffed trying to stop the tears from escaping.

"Time of death, one thirteen pm." The voice of one of the doctorrs echoed around the room. I stared at him in horror. "No, no no no NO! do something anything please……..help please!" I screamed running over to Dan. There were still no Doctors or Nurse around me helping to save him, nobody."I am so sorry for your loss Mrs Greene is there someone we can call for you?" The Doctor asked me as he stood awkwardly behind me. Loss? I thought to myself Dan’s gone?

It hit me hard. I screamed, wailed, cried and whimpered as i sunk to the floor on my knees.

Now it’s the year of 2010, February two eyars after Dan’s Death. I’m sat on a bench, on our bench, the bench where Dan asked me to move in with him, the bench where we sat when I told Dan we were going to have a baby. Now I sit ehre without Dan but with our baby, two years old and image of him.

Messy brown hair, baby blue eyes rosy pink cheeks and the dimp

If this were ready for formally posting online, you would know it and wouldn’t have to ask here. Your instinct is right. It still needs work. Especially the dialog and the repetitiveness.

Would you tell me your opinions on the following accounts of destruction of nature committed by humans?

"Many people in China have a belief that various tiger parts have medicinal properties, including as pain killers and aphrodisiacs. There is no scientific evidence to support these beliefs. The use of tiger parts in pharmaceutical drugs in China is already banned, and the government has made some offenses in connection with tiger poaching punishable by death. Furthermore, all trade in tiger parts is illegal under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and a domestic trade ban has been in place in China since 1993. Still, there are a number of tiger farms in the country specializing in breeding the cats for profit. It is estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 captive-bred, semi-tame animals live in these farms today."

"The most obvious distinguishing characteristic of the rhinos is a large horn above the nose. Rhinoceros horns, unlike those of other horned mammals, consist of keratin only and lacks a bony core, such as bovine horns. Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Asian medicine, and for dagger handles in Yemen and Oman.

One repeated misconception is that rhinoceros horn in powdered form is used as an aphrodisiac in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is, in fact, prescribed for fevers and convulsions."

3/
"Pangolins are also in great demand in China because their meat is considered a delicacy and some Chinese believe pangolin scales reduce swelling, promote blood circulation and help breast-feeding women produce milk. This, coupled with deforestation, has led to a large decrease in the numbers of Giant Pangolins.

Pangolin populations have suffered from illegal trafficking. In May 2007, for example, Guardian Unlimited reported that 31 pangolins were found aboard an abandoned vessel off the coast of China. The boat contained some 5,000 endangered animals.

The Guardian recently provided a description of the killing and eating of pangolins: ‘A Guangdong chef interviewed last year in the Beijing Science and Technology Daily described how to cook a pangolin: ‘We keep them alive in cages until the customer makes an order. Then we hammer them unconscious, cut their throats and drain the blood. It is a slow death. We then boil them to remove the scales. We cut the meat into small pieces and use it to make a number of dishes, including braised meat and soup. Usually the customers take the blood home with them afterwards.’ "

To facilitate the bile milking process, the bears are commonly kept in cramped extraction cages, also known as crush cages. While this allows for easier access to the abdomen, it also prevents the bears from being able to stand upright, and in some extreme cases, move at all. Living up to twenty-five years in this extreme confinement, results in severe cases of mental stress as well as severe muscle atrophy.[2] The World Society for the Protection of Animals reports that investigators saw bears moaning, banging their heads against their cages, and chewing their own paws. The mortality rate is high. Bears in bile farms suffer from a variety of physical problems which include loss of hair, malnutrition, stunted growth, muscle mass loss and often have teeth and claws extracted.[3] When the bears stop producing bile after a few years, they are usually killed for their meat, fur, paws and gall bladders. Bear paws are considered a delicacy."

"Seahorse populations are thought to have been endangered in recent years by overfishing and habitat destruction. The seahorse is used in traditional Chinese herbology, and as many as 20 million seahorses may be caught each year and sold for this purpose.[11] Medicinal seahorses are not readily bred in captivity as they are susceptible to disease and have somewhat different energetics than aquarium seahorses.

Import and export of seahorses has been controlled under CITES since May 15, 2004. However, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, and South Korea have chosen to opt out of the trade rules set by CITES. [12]

The problem may be exacerbated by the growth of pills and capsules as the preferred method of ingesting medication as they are cheaper and more available than traditional, individually tailored prescriptions of raw medicinals but the contents are harder to track. Seahorses once had to be of a certain size and quality before they were accepted by TCM practitioners and consumers. But declining availability of the preferred large, pale and smooth seahorses has been offset by the shift towards prepackaged medicines, which make it possible for TCM merchants to sell previously unused juvenile, spiny and dark-coloured animals. Today almost a third of the seahorses sold in China are prepackaged. This adds to the pressure on the species."

A further question: if you could make a law that prohibits all of such actions, what punitive measure would be included in that law?

my opinion
this doesn’t make any sence

Synthroid is a name of prescription drug used to treat hypothyroidism and pituitary TSH suppression. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Without this hormone, the body cannot function properly, resulting in poor growth, slow speech, lack of energy, weight gain, hair loss, dry thick skin, and increased sensitivity to cold. When taken correctly, synthroid reverses these symptoms. Synthroid has levothyroxine as its generic drug.

7.125 mcg tablet
8.137 mcg tablet
9.150 mcg tablet
10.175 mcg tablet
11.200 mcg tablet
12.300 mcg tablet

So use synthroid as prescribed by your doctor, don’t discontinue or change the amount you take or how often you take it, unless directed to do so by your physician. When you take synthroid, take it in a single dose, preferably on an empty stomach, 1½ to 1 hour before breakfast. It takes several weeks to get an improvement in your symptoms.

I’ve read countless reviews and alot of negative ones at that. I know bad news is more publicised than good but I can’t help but wonder what is genuine and what is not.

I have investigated the product on a website which is a reliable source as it used by doctors (www.emc.medicines.org.uk) and it sounds very positive and the side effects remain minimal. I know side effects have to be declared, no matter how small they are, just so companies don’t get sued.

I had my mind set to get the tablets but after seeing my doctor it made me reconsider. I know general practitioners only have a ‘general’ knowledge of most drugs but he seemed to know quite a bit. He advised me that I’ve got to weigh out the pros and cons and benefits and disadvantages. He said the most common side effects is lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction and reduced semen. Although it’s likely the side effects would cease after discontinuing the drug, he advised that it’s possibly they wouldnt and this could make you feel worse off than going bald. I think he was trying to say not getting an erection is more likely to make you feel less of a man that losing your hair.

He also advised that if my hair did regrow and I did stop taking the drug for whatever reason this would result in further hair loss which could prove to be more catastrophic than going bald gradually.

I’m at a crossroads and uncertain where to go. I would like to hear valid opinions and off people who have actually taken the drug. This is too important to me to hear any false information so please be honest

I look forward to hearing from you

hair regrowth with propecia is temporary and yes ofcourse they will fall rapidly later on. as far as side effects are concerned they are minimal and mostly psychological. better you should go for hair transplant, its long lasting very safe and successful surgery.

First let me say that I don’t really believe in taking medicine. I’ve been always focusing on healing myself through herbs and natural things. I researched everything I can do for myself to limit the pain. I take vitamins. I eat healthy. I work out when I can bare it. It was hard at first to have to will power to adjust to this lifestyle at such a young age, but I got it under control now. I don’t do drugs and only drink on special occasions. I’m 20 years old and struggling with fibromayaliga, or what they think I have, but I think I have something that I don’t know about, and it’s been bothering me a lot. The main thing that worried me lately is that my right eye the skin above my eyebrow is slowly overtime sagging. Now, I know that sounds silly, but I’ve known my face for as long as I can remember, and I definitely see a change. A fact that you should know that I think might have something to so with this is ..when I was 15 I was hit in the face with a softball during a game I was playing and I fractured the bone below my eye. I guess would be called the cheek bone. I was tested for pretty much everything that go along with these symptoms. I don’t take any medication. I’m not worried about the pain at this point. I am worried about what medical condition I really have. To me I can’t except the fact that I only have Fibromayaliga. Anyways hear are a list of my symptoms. My symptoms: TMJ Horrible Gas pain Muscle spasms Joint, muscle and bone pain. Cracking of joints I use to have 20/20 Vision but now I feel like that’s changed Constant headaches Random light headedness Anemia Ringing in ears Face pain Stiffness Anxiety attacks toe numbness loss of some hair Bruise easily loss of weight This is the gist of the symptoms. At first I thought I might of had Lyme. They tested me twice and the results both came back negative. Still kind of convinced I have it. Can some one please feed me with some knowledgeable information, and please no negative feed back. Thanks.
You must persist. Sounds as if you are on to something, and I saw the same show. I can’t remember how long it took, but the Lyme tests only come back positive at certain points in the course of the disease. But…. I have to say that almost every symptom you list does also point to fibromyalgia…. and a LOT of the symptoms often accompany anxiety and/or panic attacks. I wish the best for you. Try and be patient, persist, insist on tests and try some relaxation techniques. Honestly, regardless of what it is… you are going to need to learn to relax and put the least amount of stress on your body and mind as possible. Peace.

Though exception could be there but everybody wants hair on his head. Long hair is the symbol of beauty for ladies, for men significance of hair is same. Only healthy hair can be combed in attractive hair styles. Unfortunately, millions across the world are loosing this opportunity because of hair fall diseases. There are many factors which act behind hair fall. These factors could be hormonal disorder, deficiency of mineral, climatic changes, and salinity of water. Action of soap, shampoo, hair oil or any other hair care product on the scalp also can be a cause of hair fall.

Hormonal disorder and mineral deficiency is the prime cause of baldness. In male, a hormone named as testosterone is secreted in early teen to bring masculine characteristics. This hormone is synthesized into dihydrotestostrone (DHT) to start growth of beard and moustaches. DHT severely affects the scalp and contracts hair follicles which become the prime cause of falling of hair in male. This generally happens in late 20s or early 30s; however there is no age limit for this even people in late teens can also suffer from this disease. The baldness caused by DHT in male is called male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.

Male pattern baldness follows a definite pattern of hair fall but female pattern baldness does not obey any such rule. Female pattern baldness can occur after delivery of child or even after menopause. Hormonal disorder and mineral deficiency are also the prime causes of baldness in female. Baldness is much more embarrassing for female in comparison to male because bald ladies are generally snubbed by men.

Most of the hair loss drugs act either on male pattern baldness or on female pattern baldness, but there is a drug which acts on both; its name is Provillus. Provillus nourishes hair follicles of the scalp with its natural herbs and minerals. It dissolves dead cells of scalp, residues of shop shampoo, scalp oil which generally entrap in hair follicles. This action opens hair follicles as minerals and vitamins of Provillus stimulate the process of hair re-growth in re-opening hair follicles. Provillus contains all mineral and vitamin which are essential for the growth of hair like vitamin B6, Biotin, Magnesium. Its natural herbs extract like Saw Palmetto, Nettle root, Gotu Kola, and Curcurbita Maxima inhibits the working of DHT and stops Male pattern baldness. Eleuthero, Uva-Ursi, Muria Puama supplies fresh source of energy to hair so that they become stronger and thicker.

Being a drug with herbal ingredient Provillus is completely safe for the hair health. It produces no side effects. The success rate of this drug is high, it is around 90%. The drug can be easily purchased through online order. Companies also sell trial pack of Provillus. Trial pack of Provillus is a cheaper way to check the efficiency of Provillus.
