Dear all,

I'm so happy to know that there is some sites to cheer me up.

I don't know if my case the the worst comparing to other but have to say that I really consider shaving my head. My hair started falling since back to year '94. Before, I got such Thick black hair and I was so pround of it so much. One day, it seems like a bad dream, my hair started falling out. I didn't dare to wash my hair at all. I was consulting with many dermo and other GP about this problems but no one did really want to diagnose what is the real cause of my problem. I wasted so much money to go and see them without getting better results. Then I decided not to use anything at all because pills are killing me softly. I got a low blood pressure from taking too much of minoxodil in terms of tablet. Then Minoxodil liquid also creates lots of dandruff so I decided not to use it at all.

Last 2 weeks, I was considering spending my last huge amount of money in hair transplant sugery. Guess what? The doctor said that I cannot go through this method as I'm diagnosed of Androgenetic Alopecia all the whole head and I don't have enough hair to implant on the front of my head. I have been under depressed since then as eventhough this is my last resort but it doesn't apply for me.

Currently, I graduated for my Master degree and now working as a marketing person. I really feel like there is no more hope and expectation for me to hang on to. I has been dating my boyfriend for a year now and he does suspect my hair problem but doesn't pay much attention on it. Recently things get worse. My hair is fallen at least 100-200/day which actually, for me, there should not be anything to be fallen again as my head is 70% bald. I don't want my parents to feel sorry for me as they also suffer their thinning situation but their conditions are much better than mine as there is no falling only they have to cope with thinning hair for the rest of their life.

Well, sorry for the long sad story that I posted here. Anyone with any great hopes, please keep me updated as I'm willing to try anything.

You can both post here or email to my personal email address :) Nice to meet you all!

Love,
Nappy San

Hi HappyNappy,

I'm sorry to hear about your hair :( But anyway, welcome to the board!

That must be very disappointing to find out about the inability to have a hair transplant. This androgenetic alopecia is an awful condition, and I wish there was more we could do to bring it to the attention of the general public.

Are you on any treatments now?

Have you considered wigs? There is a wonderful MSN support site called Wig Support. You have to apply to join but it's worth it! They are very helpful in any concerns or questions, on top of looking quite beautiful in wigs! http://groups.msn.com/WigSupport/join

Take care and good luck on everything, keep us updated!
