hi there1 My story started in April with sudden loss for no reason. The docs all said it was TE and that it would stop in a few months...boy where they off!

I don't have higher than normal androgens, but the doc said that most women who have hair loss don't...they are just hypersensitive to the levels they do have in their bodies. I still don't know if I buy her DX as I have other symptoms, but so far my BW is ok.

I am 27 and i have been losing about 300 hairs each day since april. I have very little left and I am desperate. I am going to give this a go as she said she has had great results with it in her female pateints...she has had a lot of women actually regrow hair. I could eally use some hair.

I hope you are doing well, and I am glad you are getting in with your gyno!1 Do have have a list of tests for her to run? Please go in their armed and ready to get your answers!
Take Care

Hey Ayme -
ť
ť I saw your post and did some research on this stuff and it seems like a
ť viable option. It has had scary side affects in men (man boobs, yikes!)
ť but I didn't see anything on negative side affects on women. Of course
ť the fact that it can spawn female sex organs in our counterparts isn't a
ť very comforting idea, but who knows? We should probably find some
ť scientific evidence that it is safe for us. Is it FDA approved?
ť
ť I'm seeing my gyno next week and may ask her about this. Was it only
ť prescribed to you based on a high level of androgen? In which case I
ť would need my hormones tested, evidencing the fact that such a drug would
ť be effective for me? Or would it be effective for anyone w/ hairloss
ť regardless of hormone levels? I wonder if my dr. will even know about
ť it....
ť
ť Keep posting anything you find and I'll do the same

ť PS - what is your story? age? how long have you been experiencing HL,
ť etc? You replied to my story the other day so you should remember me
ť
ť
ť ť Isn't anyone taking this?
ť ť
ť ť My doc just prescribed it and said she had great reasults with her
ť female
ť ť patients. I am scared of the side effects but I'll risk it.

ť ť Admin or anyone..what do you think about this drug?
