Thank you for adding me:) I also have female pattern hairloss:( I was diagnosed last year (right at the age of 30). I thought it was due to having a second child, but the biopsy said that it is hereditary and there is nothing I could do but take rogaine. It is odd cause I have 3 brothers and they all have their hair and so does my mom. So I guess I inherited it from my father (but even at my age, he had all his hair.) Rogaine didn't work for me and I got some of the side effects like swollen feet and chest pains. I went through a period of depression and now I am fine with it after I shaved my hair. I guess that is because I feel like I am in control of it instead of just watching my hair fall out and wanting to stop it without being able to. Now I wear lace fronts or no hair at all (at home). I guess the wigs cheer me up cause I am able to try so many hairstyles. Anyhows, I am glad to meet you and I hope you are having a great week!
Hi Michelle.
breaks my heart to read what you are going thru.
No-one, or no woman especially should have to be dealing with this.
My remaining hair is disappearing quickly too.
I really hope you can get some answers, especially for peace of mind.
I truly feel for you. It really is a nightmare. keep posting here, so many wonderful people, GREAT support.
regards

hi michelle. it does sound like you have developed au which can occur over days, months or years. there is no predictablity as to when and how much loss with alopecia. was the androgentic diagnosis based on a biopsy? or male-patterned loss? try not to despair. the more you read on this site the better you will feel and realize that life goes on and you are not alone. believe me, i know what you are going through and feeling. find comfort here... :)
