Let's consult the dictionary:
Shed - to cast off or let fall (leaves, hair, feathers, skin, shell, etc.) by natural process.
Molt - To shed periodically part or all of a coat or an outer covering, such as feathers, cuticle, or skin, which is then replaced by a new growth.
Okay I'm officially going bald! Not really - I don't have patches or need Rogaine by any means. But seriously my hair is falling out in astronomical proportions. At what point do you become alarmed? Just curious. I mean I've always lost hair - but this is getting actually scary. When I was in Cali my mom was like "WHOA! Jamie that's a lot of hair on the bathroom floor! You should see a doctor. You know Grandma Close was bald. They can fix it BEFORE you go bald." GREAT! I really should pay more attention to family members. In my defense, she passed away when I was 10 - so who really pays attention then.
And what...do I just walk into my doctor and say - I may be going bald? Feedback welcome.

Go see the doc already. . .have them check your blood. Really. . .just go!
i'll be it's just a seasonal thing. unless it's an all the time thing...in which case, i don't know.
I definitely would just go and ask about it -- they can likely do something to help. Like Kristi said - just do it.
Yes, I'm with Kristi...please go get it checked out.
I'm with everybody else, go to the doctor!
It could be weather or a vitamin thing. Stress makes me lose hair. On my mission I lost a butt load.
I tend to agree with everyone else, make an appt with your dr...it could be a sign of poor nutrition/deficiency and you need to have it checked...so how was dance last night??? :)
