How I got an inch in a month & why I won\'t do it
again.
Yep, that's right I Started taking a ton of vits on June 1. I mean all the usual suspects -- multi, b-5, B-complex, biotin, MSM, calcium, flaxseed, etc,etc. You name it, I took it, amino acids all that stuff. ( If I was at home I could list them all) Anyway, I decided to go a lil further and got some Shen-min.
My new growth started coming in about 10 days later and at 2 weeks it was coming in real fast. Great!
Then I got my period 2 weeks early and it hasn't stopped since. I got my period the first Sunday in June and it has yet to stop. Some days heavy and some days almost nothing but every day there was/is some. I eventually saw a doc at the end of June who did a very thorough exam, found nothing "wrong" and put me on the patch.
I must say that it finally looks like it's almost over as last night there was minimal bleeding and this morning it was faint. Can you imagine how weak I have been feeling? One good thing, my insomnia is gone. I fall asleep real fast now-a-days!
I am so over taking vits for my hair. Now, I know a lot of you ladies take a lot of vits and it's all good but this was just my experience that I wanted to share. Just to say proceed with caution add them slowly and if you notice a change for the worse -- stop.
I don't know what did it to me because some people had similar problems with biotin and some with MSM, adding Shen-min to the mix could have made it worse, who knows. After my doc did a sonagram and found nothing, I decided it had to be the vits and stopped taking them.
Of course my hairdresser was like whoa when she saw my new growth, even suggesting that maybe we touched it up earlier than we thought we did, but I have my credit card statement LOL.
Happy hair growing to us all but I am taking a break, well not really. From now any hair growth aid I use will be topical. I'm not digesting for hair growth.
P.S.
Oh, and I was on a Atkins for most of the time also!
