Amy commented on Alopecia World's group Female Pattern Baldness"I think that with certain meds you really have to see if the proposed gain is worth all of the side effects. I have low blood pressure so the 100mg of spiro really gave me more issues to deal with on top of the hair still falling out. I was on it…"

Amy commented on Alopecia World's group Female Pattern Baldness"I'm going to try the dermMatch too. I wanted you to know that some of these treatments do work. The rogaine was regrowing my hair. I couldn't handle the dermatitis it caused and the itching and burning. They say I had contact dermatitis…"
Amy commented on Alopecia World's group Female Pattern Baldness"Thanks! I stopped everything in december to do just that, just my vitamins and keeping my body healthy.
