Hi, I have had been suffering from hair loss for years now, my hair is very thin all over, it looks worse at the front of my head and and the sides, I do not have a receding hairline and I also do not have a bald spot at the back of my head either, but like the rest of my hair it is very thin.
I have been taking finasteride for years but feel that I am completely wasting my time as I do not know for definite if it is male pattern baldness, I have recently started taking iron supplements because I think that it could be anemia, several of my female relatives have anemia and also have hair problems. I previously had a very poor diet.
I did have a blood test for anemia 7 years ago but it was apparently normal iron levels ( I was only told the results in a quick dismissive phone call), however this was when my hair was much better.
My hair problems started 7 years ago, I have been taking FInasteride for 5 years.
