Hi everyone:
I just found this site a few days ago. I can't believe there are so many women today dealing with this problem. I'm glad I'm not alone (although when I go out in public and scope out all the other girls' heads, it feels that way!). Well, I'm almost 30 and have had thin hair on the top of my head since I was a teenager. I have volumous brown curly hair, so I think I hide the fact that I'm thinning pretty well (for now at least). I've seen an endo who wants to put me on oral spironolactone / yasmin for elevated testosterone - Androgenetic Alopecia. I'm try to get pregnant, so I can't take the meds now. I'm also afraid of the pills - scared of making things worse, scared of putting checmicals in my body, etc... This had been the hardest thing for me to deal with. I now take Paxil to deal with the depression this has caused me. A few months back I was at the point where I didn't think I could go to work or out in public for fear that people were staring at my head like I was some sort of freak. I still have times when I feel like that. My husband / family say my hair looks fine. I get so worried that in a few years if my hair gets worse, my husband will leave me for a chick with hair. When I have a child I don't want them to be made fun of cause their mom is bald!!! Nor do I want to pass this dreaded gene on to a child. I'm so sad about this and I just hope that as we speak some genius scientist is working on a way to fix this horrible problem for us all. In the meantime, I console my self with thoughts of a hair transplant in a few years. I'll save money and spend my last time to get my confidence / self-esteem back. Hopefully, we can all help eachother and grow some hair while we're at it!
