hello everyone
been reading various forums for a while and decided to take action against my hair loss by 1st joining a few forums and then looking to get on some meds asap.
my story and background. will be 38 soon and top of my hair started thinning about 2 years ago. as it was thinning at a slow rate i did not take much notice. then my left side started to thin more but thinning at a slow rate until about 6 months ago my the right side started to thin. i think it was over the last 2/3 months period that i noticed it and again last weekend top of my hair just thinned out quiet a bit. seems like shock loss or something.
have been taking biotin, SP, iron, zinc, ACV for the past year but clearly its not working. my dad had v good hair and so does my mum and granddad. not sure about my fathers side but generally all the family have good hair. i also feel tired frequently but nothing has shown on blood tests/thyroid.
should have started meds last year but my main concerns were sides and having to use for the next 5/10 years or so. also i hear hair becomes hard to manage with rogaine and makes it flakey.
my hair loss seems to only on the front so far. the thinning also happens very sudden within a 2/3 months cycle. is this a normal pattern?
looking to get on meds and want to know what to start with and can i expect any regrowth or improvement for the frontal region? will post some pics later. also do i need to see my gp/doctor before i get on any meds?
thanks and hope to hear some sound advice here and sorry about the long post.
