New Diagnosis! (Menopause, Peri-menopause & Hair Loss)

posted by squeaky, 01.02.2008, 12:19

Had an appointment with a dermatalogist at MT Sinai last Friday and he stated that my problem is definately NOT alopecia. He indicated TE, probably triggerd by foot surgery last October. He injected a high B supplement, and put me on Folic Acid and B6.
During the past week I have noticed a decline in shedding (approx half of what it was 2 weeks ago) and less pain on my scalp. He suggested I continue with Minoxidil and HRT, and see him next week.
What a relief!! If I continued with just Minoxidil that the original derm prescribed, I would have needed a wig by this summer . What a jerk he turned out to be
This man is a jewel (92 yrs old and kinda shaky), but he KNOWS his stuff.
His name is Irwin Kantor at Mt Sinai in NYC if anyone is interested.
