Thinning Hair - No Regrowth

by Karen
(U.K.)

My hairs started coming out 3 years ago. I had fine hair but loads of it. It was long and wavy, everywhere I went I would get compliments from men and women alike over it...very often people would ask me if I had a hair piece in or something because it was so thick, well I notice it coming out and started to have it investigated straight away because all the site said its easy to stop hair loss than to try and regrow it.

I went to my doctor and he sent me to see a dermatologist...who checked my scalp - diagonises - "your scalp is healthy and you've got a lovely head of hair what are you worrying about" (I was worrying because it was falling out).

Then I saw a Tricologist - she said - the scalp is healthy its not alopecia. I had my thyroid checked several times...seen and endinocologist who discovered a cyst on my ovary. So have just seen a gynecologist who has said it would not cause hairloss.

Its now 3 years down from the initial hairloss and I am now nearly bald...I would have been totally bald over a year ago if it hadn't been for the amount of hair I started with. It seems the hair fall out but there is no regrowth at all...eventually when the last hair falls out...that will be it. What can I do?...No one seems to know why this is happening.

There doesn't seem to be a medical reason. Vitamins and minerals have been checked etc such as iron, copper, the lot. Hormones including the stress hormone cordisol...I'm at my wits end. I'm a single mother and ashamed to even go to my sons parents evening. I've always been a very happy, friendly outgoing person, and now I hid away, doing my food shopping at night so I dont bump into anyone I know, plus it gives me an excuse to have a hat on or hood up...but summers coming...what do I do then?...I'll upload a photo of before and now as soon as I can get a picture taken of as it is now. My life is ruined.
