Hi, I am 37 years old. I have been loosing my hair for the past 6 years but these last 2 have been the worst. So bad that my hair styles change daily. The thinning and texture of my hair is uncontrolable. I just put a hat on when I leave the house. I went to Dr. Whiting in Dallas. Dermatologist, Hair Specialist. He told me because of my Father being bald, root coming out with the hair that I had Androgenetic Alopecia. So I opted not to have the scalp biopsy. It seem like such a depressing outcome at best with what is available to treatment options. I did purchase a wig. But I don't think I can wear one. I don't like the feeling. So for now I wear hats outside and bandana's in the house. I don't want to frighten the children and discuss my husband. I am on again off again with vitamins. I have read to many conflicting stories on vitamens (including Dr. Whiting who said just take Teragram.) I eat very well and exercise daily. Over all healthy. So I guess I'm not putting up a big fight in the treatment department. I dislike that my hair is now a constant in my life, finding the hairs, worried if someone can see your scalp and the jealousy I have for every other woman I see every day. I feel very alone.

but know that you're not alone. Welcome to the board!I dislike that my hair is now a constant in my life, finding the hairs, worried if someone can see your scalp and the jealousy I have for every other woman I see every day.
Unfortunately, I can relate very well. :cry:
It's very hard not to think about the hair loss when it's all over the floor, the car, the food, Everything! I know it's traumatic, depressing, and plain awful.
Hang in there, I'm trying

Hi Teester,
Just like Prini said, hang in there! Thanks for sharing your story. I read that you are not sticking with supplements or vitamins...have you thought about just incorporating these kinds of things through your diet? You can get many of these beneficial nutrients through eating nutritious and healthy meals. For instance, eggs have a lof of protein and are a good source of vitamin A, biotin and B-complex vitamins, all helpful in promoting healthy hair growth.
Have you also had your ferritin and iron levels checked?
Please let us know how you are doing,
Laura
