Does telogen effluvium always happen 1-3 month after a particular stressful incident? This is the second time in 3 months my hair starts to shed all over. Sides, top, back even some in the eyebrows. Is it possible to get a TE shed from one week to the next, from what i read not possbile.
I had a similar shed in late October, my hair did grow back though. It has been a stressful year do to job/medical issues.
I knew i was going to have another shed as last Monday, my hair on the sides and top suddenly started go get whispy and it seemed to loose pigment.
Then it has been shedding all this week.
Also, I have read mixed things on the internet about TE. Its my understanding that when the hair sheds its the final stage of telogen, meaning the other hair underneath is pushing it out. I dont understand when some people say u need to wait 6 months to see new hair. If the new hair is pushing it out and it grows half inch per month, u should see the new hair start coming out once the hair is shed.
Anyways i cleaned up my diet and stopped taking my daily dose of 800mg of ibuprophen for my hip related pain. Maybe its the ibuprophen daily.
Also been on Avodart and rogaine since 02.
thanks all
