Hair loss

I'm a woman in my 40s with CF. I'm on a modulator. Recently I have started having my hair fall out. It's coming out in clumps and filling out my hair brush when I brush my hair. Has anyone had this happen to them? If so, what did you do for it and how did you fall with it? Being a woman having any type of hair loss or thinning is very hard mentally.

  1. My heart goes out to you, this sounds so hard to be experiencing. While I can't speak to this personally, I wanted to share an article with you written by one of our health leaders. I hope knowing that you're not alone helps bring some sense of comfort. Have you tried speaking with your doctors about the hair loss? Please keep us posted. Sending hugs your way. -Beth (Team Member)
