Vitamins, supplements (Floradix) and Saw Palmetto

I used to cry all the time about my hair loss, was in such a state of depression. Lately I've seen a decrease in daily loss and I guess have also diverted my attention to other things. I think this may be payback for laughing at my dad's shining dome when I was a kid. I just started taking Saw Palmetto and so far so good. The texture of old has been somewhat restored and so I'm somewhat hopeful....I can actually style my hair again although I still look like I fell in the shredder.

Noticed hair loss at 40 and had seen way too many doctors, getting me absolutely nowhere. Constantly searching for new treatments, very discouraged by medical communities attitude towards womens hair loss. Have low iron stores and have been on Floradix liquid iron and think it's helping. I also had no idea that low iron and B deficiency could cause or contribute to depression so I'm feeling better emotionally now that I've upped my vitamin and supplement intake. Both grandmothers, my mom, brother and father all suffered from hair loss. 9/8/08-I just got the results from my biopsy evaluated by Dr. Whiting and surprisingly, it's not genetic. I'm told mine is stress induced ( I had the job from hell but now unemployed so the stress continues). I also suffer from a really severe case of IBS-D which may make me lose my mind (I hear that loss of nutrients from the gut may cause hair loss)....I put my faith in alternative measures, having had Epstein Barr yrs. ago when all the doctors did was take my money and offer no hope. I found success with supplements and herbs. I went completely against conventional advice and did what I thought made sense for me. I really believe the medical community doesn't care much about hair loss because it doesn't make them enough money. Now I'm taking matters into my own hands. I'm so glad I found this site and hope one day soon, no one needs it.

PS-If anyone out there knows anyone in the property management field and can offer some suggestions as to a foot in the door, I would so appreciate it, more than you could ever know. Things are so bad here. If I can help anyone out there as well, I'd be more than happy to.
