I had covid and lost some of my hair and my demitoligest told me it was from my body shutting down my hair folicals due to fever. But what I did was I bought some rice water conditioner with rose Mary in it. It seemed to do the trick .

Yes. I had Covid over a year ago. My hair started coming out in clumps. My hairdresser suggested biotin. I started taking biotin….my hair started regrowing & filling in. I’ve been taking it ever since. A little FYI…if you do start taking the biotin on a daily basis then decide to stop. Don’t stop all at once. Taper down your dosage.
It has worked well for me. Of course, check with your doctor. He or she may not want you taking biotin if you have other medical conditions.
Prayers 🙏🏼 and Good luck! 🍀

there is a pbc group on facebook and this question was asked there, a number of people said that they have experienced some hair loss. So far im not seeing the kind of hair loss that i had experienced in the past with extended release Topamax (migraines) but im keeping an eye on it. BTW Nioxin does work if you dont want minoxidil.

I started on Ursidiol 500 twice a day in the middle of January. I have noticed some hair loss. Mostly just bloating and stomach aches.
