Hairloss is so frustrating and devestating!! It seems like everybody doesn't take me seriously at all!I don't feel like going out and also decided not to go to school this semester. I feel like my self esteem has dropped to the bottom. My physician says my hair is not thinning and that I'm only paranoid! My derm tells me to collect hair and see him in a month before he's willing to run any tests! But a month!! I'm scared of the amount of hair I can lose in a month! When things like that happen, everyday seems to take forever!!! I have lost all my motivation in life.

I'm pretty certain my type of hairloss is Telogen Effluvium and it's been happening for about 2 months. And, like all of you say..the hair phase is 3 months. So, I guess I have to wait another month! It has improved since it started happening. But, I'm just freaked out about how much hair I lost!!! And, even if i see one piece of hair, it upsets me. I feel like I shouldn't go on Rogaine and things like that just yet. I really want my hair to grow back as it is.

By the way, teenagers can be so cruel, i don't understand why they focus so much on looks all the time!!!!!!!!

Babie -

Have you read the womens section on this website with all the appropriate bloodwork that should be done? If not please print out the appropriate page within the Guide to Women's Hair loss here on HairlossTalk and bring it to your doctor and tell them that you'd like the bloodwork.

It can be extremely expensive so find out about your insurance first. If you're on birth control pills or antidepressants or any of this, these can be causes. Also thyroid and other. You probably know all of this but you should start working on getting the hormone levels and bloodwork done for thyroid if you haven't already.
