My medium brown hair is growing in a pretty light copper.Has anyone else had this happen?

No, but I had eye lashes grow longer on one eye. I know a woman who had 2 strokes and she got curly hair in both places it occurred, so maybe when our brains have some infection, it can change our hair. Just a guess! It sounds like a nice color. :)

If you have a long term bacterial infection, you could be deficient of adequate copper levels. It's more likely that you are deficient of tyrosine and your melanin production is not as high as it has been. Your diet is the key to getting tyrosine and if you are low on tyrosine, you would think you would have trouble with the BH4 pathway and have issues like depression, insomnia, mood swings, etc.

No problems like that.I feel scrappy most of the time so the new color gave me a pick up.My friend. had chemo,of course she lost all her hair and when it grew back it was blonde and baby fine.

Welcome to the forum mtlassor! Have you read any of the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the page? It's very helpful to learn more about it Lyme and detoxing, plus many other things.

Have you had your thyroid tested? It it's low it can be one cause of hair loss.

Why did you quit taking meds? Are you seeing a Lyme literate doctor? If not, you should so you get the proper treatments. They are trained to diagnose and treat it. You don't want to hold off on treatments too long.

Keep us posted on how you're doing and if you need a referral for a LLMD or LLND, start a new thread with the subject saying "Looking for a LLMD in (your city and state). Then people can email you with suggestions. I wish you well.
