Hair loss...
Hi everyone,
Well, its been two weeks since my first TCH and today I can say the hair loss has definately started. I was wondering for those of you who were on this regimen, how long was it in between the start of the hair loss until it was pretty much a goner?
I have been feeling really good the last few days, almost back to normal. The first week I was tired, had that burnt tongue feeling,(which I can live with but is very annoying), and my stomach and intestines were off. But I really didn't get miserably sick.
Anyway, I would appreciate if any of you could share your experience with me on the hair loss. I think I would feel a little better just knowing what to expect, although I'm sure its different for eveyone.
Thanks,
Darlene
