I haven't had any more blood work done since September 2006 because I got tired of hearing that there was nothing wrong with me! I am planning on trying a new tact when I go in for my annual exam this year. I am going to take in copies of articles that correlate female hair loss with low iron levels. My ferritin level was 45 which is a "normal" value, but if the researchers are saying that it needs to be >70 for regrowth then my doctor needs to be aware of this. If our physicians don't know enough about female hair loss, then it is up to us to bring them up to speed!
