I made the bad decision of crash dieting last summer. I lost 60 lbs in the span of a month and a half. I had slowly been gaining for a couple years beforehand. I lost at my crown first, which led me to believe that I had male pattern baldness. But then the rest of my hair started thinning out. I went to a derm and she confirmed the loss of density. She wasn't sure it was male pattern baldness though, and told me to wait to see if it grew back. Six months later I had my hair back.
Obviously, he's right, my experience is different from the majority of people on this forum, since I was able to grow it back later. I didn't have the premium balding experience (yet anyway), I only got the guest package.
You can definitely call me weird for being as active as I am. I'm fascinated by hair, and have been since I was 14. I am hyper aware of my own hair, and everyone else's. It's one of the first things I notice when I see a person. I have an obsessive compulsive personality, and hair just happens to be something that I've fixated on.
i recognize your name, are you active mainly in the new treatment section?
that would make sense to your interest in hair loss.
all i know if it was me, and i lost a lot hair but got it back, i would definitely be keeping an eye on it and hair loss info in general. especially if there was a chance i could lose it again in the future. i wouldnt be here everyday like i am now posting like a nut job, but i would still check in on the forums occasionally
