    My husband who has PD has noticed that he is losing some hair, when he combs his hair in the morning.

    Have you experienced this too ?

    hi amelie

    i do notice hair loss, especially in the drain after i wash my hair. (in addition to falling out during the day.  never clumps of hair, just a lot of single strands.   i  dont know if it is age (i am 65), PD or side effect of the meds but i do notice my part is getting wider.

    Thanks Jean.  I believe nothing can be done.  We just have to accept it.

    I am learning the hard way.  The best thing for this disease for me is to accept the fact that I have it 🙁

    Well, being a caregiver, I feel exactly as you do.   I have to accept it but on some days I really can’t.  But then back to reality when I see my husband doing things more slowly, saying he is tired, or saying his leg is aching..

    amelie, it must be very difficult for you as a caregiver.  make sure you take care of yourself too…
