As I mentioned the other day, I went to the doctor to see if there’s a cause for my hair loss.
The doc phoned me this morning:
- Thyroid is perfect
- Liver and kidneys perfect
- Iron perfect
- Glucose levels low – she says I need to eat more often or else I probably get very tired. Ho hum, I see more eating and more weight ahead of me I suppose
- Testosterone levels low. Now that’s where she’s confused. Apparently high testosterone levels cause hairloss, and even the other doc she phoned for advise couldn’t explain it.
So now I have to go to a dermatologist with the blood results and her report. She doesn’t want to put me on testosterone yet because it could make it worse. Fabulous!
And the first appointment for said dermatologist… 1 day after I start my new job.
Ultra fabulous!!
I actually feel close to what Lotus is feeling about her hairloss… maybe I should just shave it all off and be done with this crap!

Oh Jenty, not knowing the cause must be so so frustrating! I really hope they figure it out for you.

Good luck at the dermathologist. Did they check white bloodcell count? I really hope you get answers. So I missed about the new job? What’s happening?

I do hope they find a solution soon J.

At least you are on the road to discovery and will find out the cause and with it a solution. You are one step ahead of where you were the last time we spoke. I hope it all goes well – hugs
