I noticed while washing my hair that my right side felt "thinner" than my left. I can feel the coldness of my fingertips on my scalp, it feels like less hair is there.
At first I thought I had overprocessed hair on the right side. But I don't remember my hair feeling this way during the past washes.
Next I thought maybe my left side was just damaged and therefore thicker, which it very well may be, and my right side was overmoisturized in an attempt to baby the left side. But it still feels like less hair.
I tried taking a picture but I only have a camera phone and it is nearly impossible to get a scalp shot.Before my fiance went to bed I asked him to look through my scalp and he said he didn't notice anything...but I'm not sure if I can trust what he's saying.
A lightbulb went off that maybe I am experiencing thinning on my right side only due to taking vicodin for dental work for about a week and a half. After the pain stopped, I stopped taking it (it's been 4-5 days). I think I started noticing thinner, limper, strange acting hair maybe a week after I started on the medication. But I did not notice any more fallen hair than usual in my comb or on the floor.
I looked online and I don't see any doctors saying it causes hair loss, but some lay people are saying it does.
Has anyone had this experience with painkillers? Did your hair grow back after stopping the meds??
