» Hi LisaS,
»
» Dont know what your dosages are but it was not until I up'd the
» finasteride to 5mg and the spiro to 200mg with the vivelle being raised
» also to .1mg patch that my hair started behaving:o))) I wont tell you my
» estrogen is not on the high side however I am a believer that some ppl.
» must have higher estrogen to get success. That is why I am still getting
» blood tests from time to time to see where it is registering. Unfortunately
» in peri it changes so much. One test I had was 170 and the other 110.
» However last year it was 160 in January and then 85 the next time. Its
» tricky and we know we dont want it to stay too high for too long. It may be
» in the near future that I will have to drop it down to .075mg again. Like
» Dr. Redmond says, some ppl. require more estrogen to keep hair and also to
» grow it. I dont think you will go wrong going to doctor Redmond. Make sure
» you take any blood test copies and let him know your dosages as well as how
» and when you hair has changed. Dont get me wrong, my hair has its days too
» but I can say I am happy and it does look tons better. No spots at least.
» Let us know how the appointent goes. Just be honest how you feel and have
» some questions written down that you might want to ask. I other words, get
» your money's worth:o))) I went twice but that was my decision. Im not a
» phone person and I just took off and flew back in February because I felt I
» was losing the battle with my hair. Actually if I had started all the meds
» when Dr. Redmond had told me, my hair probably would have started getting
» better sooner. I didnt:o(((( So if he tells you he thinks you need thyroid,
» I'd take it. I think the thyroid plus the estrogen has helped tremendously
» with my hair growth. My nails even began growing and they havent grown in
» years. Good luck.

Hi Mauri
thanks for that info. Can i just ask, you said that it wasnt until you took 5mg finasteride and 200 spiro with the vivelle dot being raised to 1mg that your hair started to improve. Can i just ask how do you know that its not just the finasteride and spiro that are helping. How did you know you were going into peri. Did you have other changes happening to your body. Did you lose your periods ? you also had thyroid problem ? did you find this out through your test results. It sounds like you had more than one presenting problem.
thanks for your help and kind words mauri. When I was reading your first entrance i couldnt agree with you more. It stops you from living in any form but physical.
