My Endo. just diagnosed me with hyperinsulinanemia and tells me this is the cause of my hair loss. He was pretty sure that medication and diet restrictions will reverse the loss and the hair will come back. I'm having other problems as well so my health has not been so good lately but the hair...

Sorry, that post changed format from when i sent it. What I was trying to say is on Jan 7th without fasting my TSH 3rd was 0.44 and my total Test. was 341. On Jan. 26th while fasting my TSH 3rd was 0.34 and my total test. was 378.

Well thats what my Endo. said, but she wasn't too sure. She said to quit weed for 2 weeks and take another test(which is some list) because the 2nd results are not coinciding with the previous test. She said fasting would'nt of made a difference. I used the same lab for both tests. Jan.7...

Just got the call from the Endo, Says my T level is definitely on the low side and my thyroid is a little hyper, thats it. I asked her if this would cause irreversible hair loss and she said she wasn't sure. She told me not to smoke weed for 2 weeks and take another test becuse it might be...

Hypogonadism, OK Barcafan thanks alot. My Endo doesn't want to say until the results get back but I'm dying to know so every little bit helps. Took the 2nd test today and you're right they tested for way more this time but Estradiol wasn't one of them. Oh well, but thanks again.

Is there anyone who please help me out with this?

Thanks Monitoradiation for the reply. And yes I am going for a second opinion. Good luck bro. Has anything like this ever happen to someone else here aside from me?

I would like to start my post by saying thank you. This is such a terrible thing to go through but with sites like this and the people here make it somewhat easier. I hope there is someone who can help me with my problem. I used minoxidil from Nov 07 to Feb 08 with no problems but stopped...
