Androgenic Alopecia Or What (seven Words Needed)

[whateverittakes]

Last August I noticed an excessive shedding, followed by hair thinning I could feel with my fingers.
This year it became so bad that I buzzed it 2mm...probably wrong move, 'cause now all the thinning is visible x10. I have thyroid problems - but it looks like male pattern baldness?
My hairline is intact, but I have the whole part from the front to the crown very thinned. I think my sides are thin, too. I always had thick luscious hair and everyone commented on that. In less than a year I lost literally 2/3 of my hair.

First picture is from month ago, when I buzzed it off and started using minoxidil.

You are definitely thinning. It is almost certainly androgenetic alopecia. I recommend you go to a dermatologist to get it confirmed. If you do have androgenetic alopecia, in terms of treating it your options are pretty much finasteride/dutasteride or nothing until something better eventually comes out.

is it possible to lost almost all hair in less than a year? I still delude myself that it's fierce telogen effluvium or hairloss caused by thyroid problems and that it's reversible....

Yes you can lose huge amounts of hair in the space of a year if your androgenetic alopecia is aggressive. I think you should see a dermatologist to get a diagnosis. Your hair loss is much more likely to be androgenetic alopecia than anything else.
