Hey Guys Newbie here, well newbie to the forums. Anyway here’s my story for the people who are facing a similar situation and also posted some questions at the end, I know they’re not supposed to be on this board but it makes more sense putting the whole thing in one message.
Lets see where do I begin, It all started three years ago at the age of eighteen when I started noticing I was loosing more hair than usual. I took no notice of the situation because all my immediate family have all their hairs intact on their heads.
After I started Uni I continued to ignore the problem, probably I was in denial of the situation blaming it on stress or mal nutrition, plus my hair was very thick and bushy and I used to sometimes complain of the thickness, so I didn’t mind it decreasing .
It was only at the start of my second year did I notice not only was my hair falling at an alarming rate but also it wasn’t growing back and my hair line was slowly disappearing.
I didn’t know what to do, I thought at first the reason was because of the way I style my hair, I used to Blowdry it straight and then apply Gel/spray to style it.
I waited till April of this year, that’s when out of desperation I summoned up the courage to go see a specialist to tell me what I was dreading to hear.
He took one look at my hair and confirmed my fears, he diagnosed me with male patter hair loss stage 1 at the age of 20.
He also informed me that he could see my skull from where he was sitting which was totally unnecessary and untrue I might add.
I asked him if my Iron deficiency could be a reason contributing to the hair loss but he didn’t even consider the idea, his reply was “Poor people don’t eat but still have a head full of hair.â€
