Wife and I both caught the “COVID” this past January, although my case was 10x worse than hers. About three weeks ago (March) I was helping to color her hair when I was shocked to see patches of bare scalp on her (she already has thin hair). I told her about it while not trying to freak her out, but she of course already knew, and then told me that she noticed the same thing about me when she gave me a haircut a few days prior. I, on the other hand, have (or rather, had) been blessed with a full head of very thick hair, but had been noticing over the course of the prior few weeks that after showering my tub strainer would be clogged with my hair, but really hadn’t given it much thought. I did some light internet research and discovered that hair loss was indeed a side-effect complaint from those who had the “COVID.” One article did say that most people recovered within three to six months afterwards.

My wife and I are both stressed out over this (her of course a lot more than me!). I started taking Nutrafol about ten days ago and finally over the last couple of days my tub drain is now no longer clogged after taking a shower (or rather a lot less clogged). I’m not sure if it’s the Nutrafol or not that’s helping, as my wife told me that her hair loss also seems to be lessening. However, ever since my wife had the “COVID,” she’s been dealing with a nagging sinus infection that won’t go away, in spite of several prescriptions of different antibiotics and other meds and treatments. In desperation she finally started taking HCQ about a week ago, which might explain why she’s been losing less hair. From the others posting in response to your hair loss - I’m also going to follow their treatment suggestions.

As for you suing the hospital for their “incompetence,” you’d probably be hard pressed to find an attorney to take your case, unless you’d be willing to put them on retainer and pay them for their time, which would very expensive (versus a contingency fee arrangement). Hair loss, although personally traumatic, doesn’t rise to the same level as other injuries do, especially for loss of life due to medical maltreatment. I know this sucks to hear this, but I’m reserving my satisfaction for the multitude of lawsuits that will be following in due time for those who’ve lost loved ones because the hospitals and doctors intentionally withheld life-saving treatment from their COVID patients (they were victims, actually; I almost became one of them).

BTW - if you don’t mind sharing - what dosage of HCQ are you taking for your hair loss?
