Debbie,

Is your appt. on Saturday 9/8, too?

I went to a Endo today - waste of time - although I was able to get a RX for more blood work on "key" days (Day 3 of my cycle) and also a ultrasound RX to rule out fibroids. I left very discouraged still. Then I made a frantic appt. for my derm...I go tomorrow at 7:30. I will request a biopsy.

I have s silly question....with AGA does you hair gradually get worse or are there "bouts" when it gets better? For instance....does it come in waves? Like I told you before - my hair has been an issue for years - but there are times when it thickens up (never to how it used to be in my mid-twenties) but bearable - to the point where it in not a problem that I couldn't deal with. For some reason this bout is REALLY bad and I'm wondering if I can re-bound again or if this is my destiny.

One more question....why doesn't Dr. Redmond take insurance!?!? Does everyone pay out of pocket? I was told $600 - is that right? I have no idea how I'll get there...if I will drive or fly. My appt. is for 5:45 on Saturday 9/8.
