I was wondering if anyone has lost large amounts of hair a few months after an MRI. I had one done a few months back and have been losing huge amounts of hair but I'm not sure if this could be it and want to know if anyone has had this happen? I'm concerned because I've always been known to lose some hair easily, but I've never lost so much in such a short time. I've come to be afraid to wash my hair because so much just comes off. Any info would help.

I figure its probably the medical reason that you had an MRI in the first place, and not the MRI itself that is causing increased hair loss. It's normal to shed up to 200 hairs a day - and if your hair is long then that can look like a hell of a lot. If you are sick or stressed, then that can also increase your hair loss.

That is strange...I have dreadlocks and I haven't lost any hair. I've had 2 MRI's in the past 3 months

No way. Check out other medical conditions responsible for hair loss.
