For the past 2 weeks I have noticed that I am losing more hair than normal in my brush and seem to be shedding more than usual. My hair stylist recommend that I start taking something called Country Life Maxi Hair Vitamins. Having Lyme makes me second guess taking anything, so I wanted to check with you guys and see if you thought the ingredients were ok or if there is anything I should avoid. Thanks so much for the help.

I can't speak to the above but from what I've been told is that low levels of biotin are often the cause. Are you on an anti candida diet? I find that if I cheat on my diet and eat something with gluten or dairy or sugar that my hair falls out more then normal. I'd have your LLMD test your biotin levels if you are following a good diet while on abx. I use a natural shampoo that has biotin in it. It's by Avalon Organics. It seems to have helped my hair loss and made my hair healthier. Good luck!

I'm not currently on antibiotics (on a break from treating herbally), and not currently with an LLMD. It was just too expensive for the doctor visits each month, especially since I'm not on antibiotics. I may have to see my primary and have my biotin levels run.
