Hair Loss!! What I found out today....
| Wed, 03-16-2005 - 4:53pm |
Hi all - I had my doctor's appointment today (endo) and asked him about my hair loss. I had been doing fine but my tsh went up and it seemed like my hair was falling out like crazy. Well, he said the hair loss is also related to the higher levels of male hormones in a woman's system as her levels of estrogen and progseterone drop. He said my hair looks like it's thinning on top and there's a medication that make it stop falling out!!! I have to wait til next week to get the results of the blood test to see if I qualify for this but thought I'd pass it on. I don't remember the name of the medication and can't read it on the prescription he gave me (just in case I start to take it). But once I have it filled, I'll let you know what it is. The only side effect is that it may throw off my period but he said that doesn't happen often. Still, it's something to think about. My period has always been very regular and if that happens, then I'll probably quit it. Anyway, that was interesting news and I know alot of us suffer from this so I thought I'd pass on the prelimanary findings!!! I'll keep you posted. Cathy :)
