Have you successfully had treatment for hair loss?

[BeJayKayven]

It's getting quite upsetting - my fringe area has all but disappeared and I seem to leave a trail of hairs everywhere I go. Is it worthwhile asking the dr? I already take thyroxine and my blood level results have been steady for years.

Watching with interest. Have been thinking of ringing the docs but worried I'll feel like I'm wasting their time. I thought it was a post partum thing but baby is nearly 2 now!

watching too

dm has this problem.unfortunately loads of drs visit and referrals have made no difference.

It's too common 😕
stare if you don't mind my asking, what was your DM referred for ( obv hair loss, but in relation to a condition?) and to what type of consultant?

i'll find out the details and report back :)

Thanks!
I just don't understand, if it's hormonal/something else,why there isn't a treatment

ok dm was ref to dermatologist after trying 4 or 5 diff creams/lotions from gp

biopsy taken but didn't confirm diagnosis of lichen planis

still ongoing

Thanks stare
I'm making an apt for next week so will mention seeing a dermatologist as well
hope your DM gets to the bottom of it too

thank you bejay

good luck :)

Bejay - will you report back?

Will do - blood test arranged for next Wednesday

OP, you are aware that hair loss us a side effect of Levothyroxine?

It took a transfer to natural desiccated thyroid extract to fix mine.

I did not know that! Shocked. Is natural desiccated thyroid extract a prescribed medicine?
