I'm in a new relationship, which has me on top of the world. The hair loss has me miserable.

My hair loss seems to have a rather rapid onset. I first noticed it probably about 4 months ago. My hair texture also has changed from coarse and thick to fine and straight. For a while, I wasn't growing any hair - arms, legs, etc. My arm hair finally regained some pigment! My eyelashes still are falling out, and the remaining ones are fine and thin.

On my 3rd doctor's appointment, the MD told me "well, it's a good thing you have thick hair!" I wanted to strangle him. NO, I HAD thick hair. I have wavy hair (thank god), which keeps me sane. However, for the first time in my LIFE, I can see scalp at my temples.

I'm wondering if any women out there have had success (stopped hair loss, regrew hair) on nutritional/iron supplements alone. It seems my profiles all are normal aside from iron. I *think* I'm seeing some dark hairs grow in (I dye my hair blond), but I'm still shedding like crazy and my hair on the sides/top is getting REALLY thin.

Help!?!?
