another one (PCOS & Hair Loss)

Lina, this lady is from another site...I can't post the info here, but I have talked with her via messages and she is doing much better. Her hair loss was prety severe as where her PCOS symptoms.

So tomorrow it will be one year on Flutamide and Folligen. I would definitely say I am pleased with the results. My pony tail diameter when measured puts me in the the "thick" hair category in terms of density. My overall density on the sides, back, and occipital area have all increased and look allot better. In fact other than the dryness and slight texture problems I would say I have a pretty decent looking head of hair. The area just behind my bangs is still bad. About a silver dollar size spot is still pretty sparse especially when wet. Thankfully, it it is easily camoflagued with a faux Toppik kind of product.

I don't spend most of my life anymore obsessing over my hair..at least in a negative way. I am starting to visit the long hair community boards and adopting some of their techniques to restore moisture to my hair..oiling the ends, dilluting my shampoo and protecting the ends with conditioner while I wash as well as drying naturally. My natural wave and shine are showing signs of coming back.
I plan on spending the rest of my life on the meds and hope in the next year or so maybe the front will improve as well. It is such a small area I could actually get a transplant if it does not come back in the spot over the next 2 years. Overall I am very happy. I have big hair like the days before this hairloss began albeit with the one bad spot. So yeah I am VERY pleased. I plan on sticking around and keeping you all updated. You are a great bunch of ladies..warm, pretty and smart. I wish you all good luck.
