Has anyone else experienced hair loss while on Coumadin?

I have been losing a lot of hair in the last few months, and at first I thought it was just the normal "after baby" hair loss (although she's now 14 months old). But it has been going on now for a while, and my hair is noticibly thinner. When I braid it, one braid now is as thick as one of two braids before (did that make any sense?). My little booklet didn't say anything about hair loss, but I was doing some research online and found several websites that mentioned it. I'm just wondering how common it is, and if my hair will grow back???

Been on Coumadin for 20 years and for the last few years I have lost hair, but believe it is not because of Coumadin.

You must take balance diet. Milk and milk made ingredients, also from group of meat, vegetable and fruit. You need vitamins per advice your doctor. Select the shampoo as doctor recommends. Take care. Wish you and your baby best of luck.
