I think so; I eat cheese, avocado and olive oil just about every day. My thyroid levels checked out as normal too. I have been under some stress, but most of it was from about 2 years ago. Life threatening injuries with multiple hospital stays followed by losing my job. I'm still being treated for the injuries. Then my mom had major health problems and I've moved in with her to help.

Did one of these stressers (or another) happen 3-6 months ago? When did you Mom get sick? When did you move in with her?

My fiance is his mother's caregiver and he treats himself to a massage twice per week. Caregiving is very stressful.

Two more suggestions:

- Yoga
- Biosil drops - I noticed less hair in the drain within a week after starting to take 10 drops per day.

I'd been running back and forth from my home in California to my Mom's in Oregon over the last year and a half but I finally bit the bullet and moved here last March. I'll look into the biosil drops and someone also mentioned taking Biotin. I've thought about yoga; I wonder if there are any classes offered for people with injuries.

These exist in some places. If not in your area, look for beginner, 'gentle', or 'for seniors' yoga & ask the instructor if they can offer adaptations in class for your needs.

I don't know your specfic issues, but other things to consider might be pool classes for people with arthritis, which tend to be gentler; or group rehab classes that some physical therapy practices offer. If you find a PT place with classes, I'd reccommend going to talk with them in person about what might be suitable.
