so i definitely don't just have male pattern baldness . . .

[astral week]

I don't really feel like writing out my whole story and all the possible causes and etc., but as I have posted before, I have worried that I've had chronic Telogen Effluvium for a while now, as I've definitely had enough possible initiators for it. However, last night I realized that my eyebrows, eyelashes, pubic hair, armpit hair, and facial hair have also thinned. I'm praying to god that it's not alopecia universalis, and that it's a thyroid problem, because I do also have some of the symptoms for this as well. I guess alopecia areata is also a possibility (i read alopecia universalis is a bad version of this, basically). I write this in the propecia forum because i got on it a year ago, when i first discovered hairloss in the form of slightly receding temples, before i noticed the diffuse thinning. I've lost hair alll over my scalp to a fairly severe degree. I used to have to make a significant effort to even see my scalp; now with one hand i can easily displace enough remaining hair to see a ton of it everywhere including all the back and sides. I'm predisposed to male pattern baldness anyway, but i believe mine was pretty slow. I really really hope the propecia i've been taking all this time will help prevent miniaturization once (and if) my hair grows back. This really sucks, i'm not even 20 yet. I really even want my eyelashes back. You don't really think about them, but girls have been telling me for years how jealous they were of them, and now they're all thin and shitty. I hope they grow back. I've had a rough enough last couple of years without this.
This is what i've come to, hoping i have a thyroid disease. I'm going to the doctor today, wish me luck guys. GOD i hope i won't be visiting the alopecia universalis threads soon. anything but that, i can't take it
