Hey guys, I have abnormal hair loss (which I have posted about). Instead of just thinning on the top or being a receeder (which 99% of my family that has hair loss gets) I have been thinning all over my head. When I was younger and I noticed it, I thought it could have been stress. Then I ignored it again after I knew it wasn't and stated its nothing. Well its getting pretty bad that its effecting me.
But now I see that my hair is thinning all over the scalp. I did some research and it can by a rare (1% of people losing hair have it) of DUPA. Or it can be low iron. Or a thyroid (though I read that hair falls super fast on this one). Regardless, I'm ready to get my blood tested... issue?
I'm poor. The clinics here won't allow me to draw blood without a OK by the doctor. So just walking in and talking to a Doctor is 80 bucks. Not including test.
So I decided to find a alternative. I found this: http://www.healthcheckusa.com/
Pay online, go to a near location and get blood drawn. Results are posted online. Prices are cheap.
Was thinking of getting:
Thyroid Panel: T4 Total, T3 Uptake with TSH
Total Iron Binding Capacity TIBC
Anything I should add?
