For the past two weeks i have been reading and roaming this website and lhave discovered soooo many things. I want to share my exp as well.
After the birth of my daughter...went on low carb diet..lost 25 pounds in two months. In a few months my periods went hay wire so the Doctor put me on the pill yasmin. I had taken ortho tricyclen before getting pregnant with my daughter. My hair had always been straight ,thick and luxurious...and now started getting frizzy, dark and in a few months started dropping like there was no tommorow. My daughter was two and a half so it was not the birth induced shed.
I went to see my pcp who did the throid and iron tests and told me everything was fine.
I went back to him for a referral to a derm after i cut my long hair into a bob(never had short hair bf). To make a long story short the derm was a total quack....and told me i had Telogen Effluvium in a few minutes span and then changed the diagnosis to Androgenetic Alopecia after i mentioned both my brothers lost hair by the time they were 30!!! :!:
So now I am gearing up to get all the tests done that are mentioned in this website...! i have been seriously thinking of the min/tricomin/nizoral combo but like sooo many others..the "shed" part scares me....but i am desperate! I might also mention...that all my life(as early as first grade)...people used to know me for my hair...and teachers used to comment on it. So it has been traumatic but i am 33...and i have to be strong so i'll keep digging and fighting! :2gunsfiring_v1:
I do want to addthe leave in treatment of nioxin really helps to make the hair look thicker after i blow dry it. I unfortunately did invest in the shampoo and the conditioner but i think they are pretty much like any other products.
