I'm confused about what's happening. Why am I shedding so much for the past three months when I'm using Rogaine and have been for fifteen years? My thyroid and hormone levels tested okay.
I'm a 49 year old female who would like to hear some thoughts about the following questions that I have:
- Has anyone noticed hair loss after switching from Rogaine to Walgreen's minoxidil?
- Does Rogaine lose its effectiveness after years of use?
- Can a change in diet (no sugar and less carbs) and a loss of 25 pounds
(due to prediabetes) in 3-4 months cause excessive shedding 3-4
months later?
- Yes, I'm probably in perimenopause, but shouldn't the Rogaine be
stopping the shedding when it had prior to this for fifteen years?
- Has anyone found low-laser treatments effective?
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated as I'm having difficulty finding a doctor who specializes in women's hair loss. The good news is my blood sugar level is back to normal!
