How Safe Is PPO CA Coverage For Hairfall Treatment ?

I HAD A C-1-C-2 FUSION IN 1994 FOLLOWING A REFRACTURE OF THE ODTOID PROCESS; TEN TOOTH PICK SIZE OF BONES WERE USED A LONG WITH A WIRE. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO MY NECK TOOK A JOLT FROM A AUTO ACCINDENT. SINCE, I GET NECK SYNDROMES,EPISODES, THAT LEADS TO VOMITING AND THE WORST HEADACE POSSIBLE THAT LASTS 1-2 DAYS. ALSO MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT AND GETTING FINER AND FINER. SO FINE ONLY A BABY WOULD HAVE SUCH HAIR. A NECK EPISODE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I HEAR A LARGE CRACK AND GET A SHOCK PAIN AT THE BASE OF MY HEAD. I PLAN ON GETTING MORE STUDIES, SUCH AS A CAT SCAN. I HAD A MRI, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A MESS. IS MY TYPE OF HAIR LOSS NORMAL FOR SUCH A CONDITION? OTHER THAN PAIN KILLERS AND MOTRIN, WHAT CAN I DO? I WILL HAVE PPO CA COVERAGE STARTING 2-1-14, HOW SHOULD I GET STARTED?

Hi,

I can Understand your concern for hairfall treatment. The query provides too little of the details so that we can guide you best according to your concern.

I request you to kindly elaborate your concern in terms of your age, sex and occupation along with compete medical history.

Kindly also do not use any type of abbreviated words. Kindly also elaborate the term of PPO CA coverage.

Hair fall can be due to any long term illness or any emotional or stressful event and due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal influence.

I can make out that you are female but you have not mentioned your age but it can be basically due to nutritional deficiency and stress.

If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.

You can start minoxidil lotion under strict dermatological guidance.

Take care.
