Hello, too am unfortunetly suffering from hair loss (all throughout entire head) after wasting a huge amount of time and stress going to loads of different dr. I finally found one that i am happy with her name is Dr. Scotniki Grant and she's located at avenue/st.clair area. I found that alot...

I'm glad you have an appt with a dermatologist, please make sure that they know about women's hair loss. I know I sound like I'm beating a dead horse on this matter, however you'll just waste your time and alot of hair in the meantime. You have to actually ask if they know. Call around and make...

well, to keep updated My test results came back (PCOS) and it looks like that's NOT the problem. I have a endocrinologist appt Monday (first time) and seeing my new derm on Tues. Hopefully I'll get this nipped in the but soon. I am hesitant in using the Minoxidil still. should I just start...

yes Jacob it does make more sense.....you tell me the natural way to do it and I'm there :) ...i haven't taken Minoxidil yet....i'm kinda afraid too still.I realize that I should since I've heard that it's better to do it right away but I don't have enough information on other choices as of...

grab the bull by the horns hey there, you're not alone, I too am suffering from dramatic hair loss in only 2 1/2 months i've shedded loads of hair. I too had to endure the whole 'your being ridiculous, your hair is fine' crap. Then I went camping and when my hair was wet my boyfriend saw my...

i've since gone to get those tests done and although i won't get to see results for a week the one thing i managed to find out is it's not my ovaries.He found something 'suspicious'with my adrenals. Is it okay for me to take the minoxidil with this hormone/adrenal prob?

recedingboy, yes I realize that, my point however was, if it's visibly noticeable or you're just now realizing that it's thining and at the point you feel uncomfortable then shave it! ...there is a difference between being brave enough to shave it off than being 'forced' to by thining. If you...

incorrect my friend being a female, i have to disagree. There are loads of guys who choose to be bald,actually shave off their hair when it was perfectly intact in the first place. People in general have their like's/dislikes in appearance. I've seen many men i was attracted to and thought...

HELP ADMIN!!! Hello and thanks for responding so much. Okay, I just got back from the dermatologist who said my blood test result were in and that my hormone or DHEAS levels were incredibly high (20.4) so tomorrow I have to be checked out for Polycystic ovarian disease and i'm having a...

hey I'm so sorry that you posted so long ago and no one answered. If you're losing your hair to the point that it's uncomfortable to you then YES!. I used to date a guy who's cousin was quite young and his hair was thining dramatically and it made him look ALOT older. One new year's eve he got...

Hi there, thanks so much for all the great advice! it wasn't valseline it was Valisone scalp treatmentbut I'm thinking of trying what you told me....right now i'm just using Bioscal shampoo/cond and it doesn't appear to be helping whatsoever. ....well I went to new dermatologist, she...

what do I do? thanks so much for replying back with some excellent advice. I did everything that was suggested to prepare for my appt. Yesterday, I finally managed to get another appt. with a different dermatologist and this guy had no idea. He started by asking the usual questions, I was in...

anwers I'm not really sure about what blood tests were taken (finding out on Tuesday) the Doctor didn't even give me a follow up appt. I know thyroid was one of the tests (one vial only) I called in to find out the results of my tests and found that I could only book an appt for late sept. (at the...

dissapointed I'm suprised by coming onto a hairloss website that I've got no responses.All of you have gone through the same thingand therefore know what I'm going through and how tough it is. thanks
