    Wondering what are some good suggestions for hair thinning and loss after Covid/ Covid vaccines that people have had any success using? There are some remedies I’m aware of but wanted to ask for ideas and options. Thank you

    You could try Microneedling… I do this in my practice and I am focusing on hair restoration as I’ve seen this a lot. Consult with a local Acupuncturist. We use herbs, topicals, supplements etc. to support this. Or a Naturopathic doctor.

    I will tell my alopecia story. I had it start about 12 years ago, I am now 71.

    I have low thryoid, for 20 years, though stable always thus far. I take a 81 mg aspirin for 399 calcium score, 500 mg Metformin for 6.7 A1C (average) diabetes, no other meds. I have always walked some 7,000 steps daily, and started 20 stair climbs daily since January 2024.

    I started Total Health vitamin packet for seniors with Meleleuca (pharmacy grade vitamins, independent lab tested in Germany) in early 2020 as Covid started. I started ivermectin .2 mg dosage twice weekly about winter 2020/early 2021 & had alopecia all along that time about the same, all along rear and sides of head. In May 2023 I had Covid bad case, w/pneumonia, and I was brought back (healed) quickly with ivermectin. I had not taken ivermectin the month before, first time doing that since I stated ivermectin. (Not wise, in retrospect). In about 2 months the hair fell off my legs and back of head, within a few weeks badly. Long covid. (Also other issues for few months – brain fog, low energy, etc. doing well now).

    I started Berberine in mid 2023 as Metformin gave me mid night tummy ache, and Metformin is known to thrash muscles. So 1 berberine a day and 1 Metformin a day. I started early 2024 with 100% Berberine for diabetes, stopping Metformin altogether -per my endochronoligist. About 2 months ago my hair alopecia is mostly disappeared / healed (??) except for an area at edge half size of a dime- will it last- we will see if it lasts.

    Also, the Berberine is wonderful as my muscle tone is rebuilding.

    Lastly, I have in last 6 months had age spots on forearms greatly diminish, and rear of hands, and about 6 large 1/4” to 1/2” circle age spots on face are now gone except for 1- the largest one, and that is getting lighter. Also, on my chest the red mole like spots (like my dad had) are at least 50% gone.

    I say all of that as there is some type of good chemistry the Berberine is doing on me. I also obtain the Berberine from Meleleuca, again, pharmacy grade (lot of not good Berberine on market, do not want that).

    Thats my alopecia story. Also, my A1C dropped to 6.6.

    Blessings
