People have already mentioned how it’s more acceptable for men to lose hair– and even they don’t like talking about it. Too true. My husband has hated the hairdresser’s with a passion for ten years now– bought a shaver so he doesn’t have to go anymore. And he’s convinced people treat him differently once they’ve seen the top back of his head (he’s tall enough that he can hide it in certain situations.) I’ve often thought that women wouldn’t tease men for being bald if they thought about how they’d feel if it happened to them.

But this sort of tails into a question– can you use Rogaine for this? My understanding is that Rogaine is better at keeping hair you have than it is for regrowing hair– but if you’re already growing new hair, that’s not your worry. I’ve even seen commercials for women using Rogaine– but I don’t know if it’s only for certain kinds of hair loss…

Anyway, that’s what I was thinking, reading this.

And this may be cold comfort, but you are stunning. If push came to shove, you could even rock a Sinead O’Connor do, and look all bad-ass and doe-eyed.

I hope your doctors can help. Good luck!

My only suggestion to you would be to go to a few other different types of doctors until something works. I know no one like to do this but I think I’d be tempted to try an endocrinologist. Where you get your hormones tested like Dr. Phil’s wife suggests. Another thing is having a strand of hair tested at a lab. I had another coworker do that and they could tell what she was lacking in her diet and vitamins, etc. I also wonder if a dermatologist wouldn’t have some insight into this. I’m just grasping at straws here but I’d really like to help you in some way.

Hang in there and somewhere you’re going to find the answers that will solve your problem!
