[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 915347, member: 43498"] I really feel for you, living with this problem. I think the hair loss is probably due to not getting enough food or not getting certain vitamins and minerals. Supplements are a great idea. I have heard that fish oil can help with hair and nails but I the capsules might be hard to digest. Have you had blood tests to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? I doubt you are getting enough iron from your diet. If a gastric pacemaker and an insulin pump would help you, it might be worth fighting for them by writing to the specialists, or getting your GP to write to them. If they say no because of costs, maybe you could get your MP involved or go to the media? I take my hat off to you for being positive in the face of these issues, especially when you will be tired and low on energy because of them. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
