Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Is there any way to really know why hairloss is occuring? I even had a scalp biopsy, which said it leaned slightly in favor of androgenetic alopecia (hormone caused), because there was some follicle miniaturization. But that there were also a lot of telogen hairs (shedding), and they weren't terribly sure why. If my hair had begun thinning before my last baby was born, it wasn't noticeable. After I had her, my hair fell out fast and furious. True, my thyroid was bouncing all over the place then, and wasn't monitored nor treated as well as it could've been. But, it also could be estrogen dominance. When I'm on progesterone cream, the fall out slows down. After 3 months on the cream, there are baby hairs now in my balding temple areas, but it's not like it's filling in thickly or quickly. My hair (according to hairdressers, and my own observations) appears equally as thin all over my head, but it is most obvious in appearance on the top. It just seems to keep getting worse. I'm 37 yo. This started at 35. I cannot tell you how many tears, and how much depression I've suffered over this. How many treatments I've pursued that haven't fixed a thing. I'm afraid quite honestly, to assume this is all my thyroid and that taking Armour now will fix and restore it. Is there any way to know if this is thyroid related for sure? Only time will tell? Could this just be something I need to live with? I'm having an especially down day about it right now. I've lost easily 50% of my hair. They say thin hair has a ponytail diameter of a dime. Mine is half that. I don't look like me anymore.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 About all I can say, , is that once I got my thyroid and adrenal levels up and learned how to eat better (small frequent meals to help with boosting conversion) and vitamins my hair started growing back. Hair loss/thinning seems to be a common thing when hormones are off and nutrition is out of balance... I know you've heard all the lectures and testimonials.... My hair was falling out so bad that I had to clean the drain DURING my shower to drain the tub... now I don't even have to clean it AFTER the shower.... Something I'm doing helped.
