Hello Everyone,
I'm a 23 year old woman and about 4 years ago I was looking for natural ways to increase my breast size, on the forum I found a lot of women had success with saw palmetto. I began taking it, two capsules a day, it indeed grow my breasts (b cup to D cup), I did not have any side effects from it and it made me what I would call 'curvy' without weight gain so wider hips while maintaing a flat stomach. My hair has always been thick and i have never had any health issues in my life. I know it sounds naive but I saw it as not a serious thing just a good healthy supplement.
In January of this year I began to start saving more money and stopped taking it to save money. My breasts were big enough and I didn't need it anymore.
THIS IS WHEN MY HELL BEGAN!! I did not realise i can just stop taking it and saw palmetto was connected to hair and hair mechanism.
My hair began shedding and falling out profusely, the first month I went to the hairdresser, it seemed okay. By month two it was thin, In April I had full on bald patches, Now in May my hair is almost all gone around the edges and I have to get a wig made!!! :sobbing: I am getting a wig costume made to look realistic till it grows back, I am a 23 year old woman who has always been healthy and people ALWAYS complemented me on my beautiful hair. This is a horror show and I have lost all self esteem and I'm so self conscious all the time :sobbing: it is a horror show. Literally went bald(ish) within 4 months from having beautiful thick hair all my life! I am literally going to be wearing a wig until further notice.
I did not connect it begin me stopping saw palmetto till I went to a hormone doctor and he did my tests and asked if i had taken any supplements and him immediately saying it was that and my blood tests confirmed it, he said I shouldn't have stopped it abruptly after long term use without consulting a doctor, I went to get all kinds of blood tests, thyroid tests, general body, I went to see a trichologist a dermatologist and all over London seeing all these doctors to find out why my hair was falling out only for me to find out it was the saw palmetto all along. :sobbing: All my blood tests were good till I finally realised it was a hormonal thing :sobbing: and me stopping saw palmetto sent my body into overdrive.
Now, I have no choice but to go back on this and I will probably have to take it forever as I refuse to experience this ever again. I started back on it today, on my old brand and dose.
Just a word to everyone who is taking this, it is a hormonal thing and if it has grown your hair do not stop taking it as you might lose all your hair. I started it for breasts and never knew how much it could affect hair or how much of a strong effect it could have on a young woman. If you take it please keep taking it so you don't experience all I am.
I pray going back on it grows my hair back!
Thank you.
