I've been using the Tricomin for about a month now. I have no idea if it is doing anything, but I think my shedding has slowed down. I also have some new hairs, but some of them started before I even tried the Tricomin so I don't want to say that it had any effect. I'm also using the Folligen...

I've been using Tricomin and Folligen for a couple of weeks, but haven't noticed anything yet. I don't know if it's too soon to tell, or if it really is doing nothing.

Thanks. I've decided to get a second opinion because I just didn't trust him. What have you heard?

Rowan, I know how scared you must be - I was too at first. Once you get a diagnosis, it will help you though because at least you'll know what you're dealing with and what to do. I hated my diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia, but at least I could stop obsessing over what it was that was causing my hair loss...

I know a woman who used Propecia along with Rogaine 5%. She started to get too much facial hair so she had to stop using it. She's still using the 5% though. I've heard that the shedding can last up to 2 months on any kind of minoxidil treatment.

I would just take a good multivitamin that has a lot of the nutrients you need. I've heard of people losing their hair when they lose a lot of weight just as you have done. I've also heard that iron, biotin and B6 are important for hair, but you don't want to overdo anything, especially with...

I'm wondering what's happened to all of you since you last posted? Haven't seen any updates.

I've seen some pretty negative things written about Redmond. For those of you who might have seen him or heard of him - what do you think of him? I thought he was a little odd, but he was very thorough. His price was outrageous. But he seems to know a lot more about female hair loss than most derms.

This is getting so frustrating! First I have a doctor tell me that my hair loss is genetic and he hands me some free bottles of Rogaine 2%. Then I get a hair specialist tell me that it's just Telogen Effluvium and it'll grow back. Meanwhile, my hair is still falling out, and I've even noticed changes in my...

First of all, I want to thank Funky Monkey for answering so many posts when no one else would. That was very sweet. I've gotten all kinds of bloodwork done -I kept calling doctors until I got want I wanted. But so far everything is normal. That's great. If I'm so normal, then why is it my...

I've been noticing some changes in my hair over the last year, but in the past couple weeks, I've realized that I'm actually losing my hair altogether. It's not very thick to begin with so very soon it will start to be obvious to others besides myself that something is wrong. I'm pretty sure...
