    Hi girls, be careful not to use shampoo when your hair is falling out.Your scalp gets so sore and itchy,especially when it's covered with wigs and caps etc.I got some sort of red irritation on my scalp that drove me crazy.It cleared up using cetaphil wash and sorbolene cream to moisturise.

    Not far behind you - I am on day 7. I had the bloating which made me so breathless - felt like a pregnant woman. I just had to empty my bowels.  I also have started with the juices. I have also had nausea and been snacking, which in turn doesn't help the bloating.

    I love the idea of the pink hair dye. I had my hair cut short so when it falls out won't be so devastating - well will wait and see about that. My scalp has been itchy today so I will look at getting a good shampoo.

    As far as the sore mouth it was suggested that I get a soft toothbrush and use a non alcoholic based toothpaste and non alcohol based mouthwash. Also to rinse my mouth after each meal/snack with bicarb salt water. (One teaspoon bicarb soda in a glass of warm water.) I have a bottle made up I keep in the bathroom saves me making it up all the time.

    Sharon,  So glad that you are over the worst (first 7 days) for this session.  Onwards and upwards now but don't forget you will feel tired.  I try to do too much when I am feeling well and I end up with a headache. XLeonie
