4 Weeks Post Full Hysterectomy-falling Apart! Posted: 03-14-04 01:34am
58 y/o. Had soft skin, shining hair,
sharp mind and a fiancee. Everyone
thought I was so cute! Now all is dried
up (including my brain!). Face and hair
are beyond dry. Have used every
oil/conditioner/beauty product known.
I refuse to see fiancee.....Lost
interest in him.
Please tell me what's happening and what I
need. Next appt with dr is 2 weeks but
i'm dying and drying here. Thank you.

I just joined the forum today.
Anesthesia may be playing a part in the
dryness. It always happens to my hair
after surgery and my skin gets dry. It
may take a few months to return to normal.
My daughter inlaw is a hair stylist.
She says that using baking soda or vinegar
as a rinse will help strip the anesthesia
out and any medicines that might be
contributing. I did this after
shampooing and before conditioning.
Leave conditioner in for a few minutes
before rinsing. Vitamin e will help your
skin and hair.
Estrogen plays a part too. Are you
taking estrogen?
I would also make sure my doctor knows
what is happening. Some of the symptoms
you mention could also be a thyroid
problem.
