Ok, so I am not quite bald, yet! After a VERY stressful time in my life I got depressed and lost about 22 pounds in a month, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I was a wreck. I started to get better but then my hair started to fall out, EVERYWHERE! 300+ hairs a day. I have seen 4 Doctors, two MDs and two Dermatologist, all agree it is telogen effluvium, I have had my thyroid and iron test. Thyroid was fine, iron was 35 (ferritin). I am now on iron pills, I am also eating better, have put back on most of the weight I lost. BUT, I am STILL losing about 100 hairs a day. I have some pretty bold thin areas, and as this goes on I just want to cry. It has been about 3 months now. When will it stop? What if they are wrong and it is female pattern baldness?
I am using t/gel, nizoral, and head and shoulders on a rotation as during this my head got real greasy, I have never had greasy hair before.
I do see some new hairs but they can not grow fast enough to keep up and replace what I lost.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
