You are under Dr Redmonds care, yes? Tell him this for me.......
I think this is quite a coincidence....

You, Sadie and I had/have all been taking some kind of Anti androgen and we ALL have experienced the same thing!!! The front thinning and looking miniturized QUICKLy over the course of treatment AND a lot of hairs poking out that are coarser/darker/thicker in diameter) than the rest.

Now, how could all 3 of us have a negative reaction to anti androgens?? Or maybe its not negative but positive?? Maybe our hair is changing to thicker hairs and the ones that were becoming miniturized (thin hairs in diameter) are falling out faster that the new healthy ones can keep up with, thus less density in the front? And notice its the areas most effected by AGA that are changing..

Ladies, what do you think about what I have just said?
