I think I may have already written about this but my hair had started growing slightly after all chemo was done and then when I went for acupuncture to try to help with the neuropathy , my acupuncturist told me about the Biotin and I went to my health food store and the nutritionist recommended 5,000 mcgs. per day and it seems to be working. Eyelashes and eyebrows also growing back, but they are kind of sparce. The most important thing is that the cancer does NOT come back. That's my concern right now with my PETscan and mammo and sono coming up in March. Praying NO recurrence!!!!!

Shop rite had the shampoo and conditioner! They are pricey at $5 a bottle on sale but something is working or maybe it's the combination. I'm afraid to take more that 1 5,000 biotin pill a day. The bottle says full strength at the 1 pill. I'll keep it at 1 for now until I see my doctor since 1 seems to be helping.

Hoping you will have coverage!!!!! Let us know how it goes.

The acupuncture didn't help the neuropathy but I have had acu treatments in the past that helped wonderfully with pain. I had neck pain a few years ago that caused me to have a headache from it every day. So I went to my chiropractor and he got me about 50percent better and then he said you should be all better by now so I want you to see a neurologist to make sure that everything is okay. So I did that and the neuro recommended physical therapy which actually made it worse and they stopped it.
So at that point I said I'm going to try acupuncture which I had not tried before and it worked wonderfully. I had been 50 percent better with the chiropractic care and the acupuncture took me the rest of the way to being pain free .
I definitely would try it and hopefully it will help.

I am taking tamoxifen and my hair has been thinning for a while. I take 5000 of Biotin and it has slowed down. I also have the Biotin shampoo and conditioner so maybe it is a combination of both.
