How has your hair loss changed you?: I feel soo open to life now. I am tasting, touching, and experiencing everything through a different perspective and outlook. I am more empathetic and sensitive. I have become more mature and refined and have acquired a daily renewal of hope. I look in the mirror every morning and truly love what I see, because one's worth is not defined by looks, but by inward beauty as well.
About Me
About Me: I am Loving, and believe that with the right attitude and treatment and ultimately GOD, anything is possible. I WILL overcome this, even if it means, finding a way to cope with it and accept it. I would love to make some new AWESOME friends and help one another with this. I recently had a visit with my endocrinologist and was diagnosed with having Polycystic Ovaries. He stated that he believes it began with a insulin problem that sparked my ovaries to become Polycystic. I am now taking Metformin and Spironolactone for suppression of the harmful androgens and to stimulate fertility and hopefully reverse the PCOS and the hair thinning.

Hi Jodie,
I have to say, you are truly one of those people who are a "dollop of sunshine". How are you doing? Doing okay here. Dyed my hair a week ago and it fell out again...guess I just can't color anymore. So, now I'm dealing with the thin spots. Was wondering if it's just because my hair now contrasts with my scalp more. Keep telling myself this is all going to be okay. Found myself reading about Tyra Banks' wig issues. Doesn't matter if you're a super model, if you have thin hair...life's always spent trying to hide the thin bits.

Hi Jodie,
Thanks for the invite. I love your page. I too have great faith in GOD. Without him I would not be the happy well adjusted person I am today. My hair loss is the only sad thing in my life. And somehow I deal with it. But I do have my days when I wish I had my hair back. Keep in touch. Thanks, Gigi

Hi Jodie,
Thanks for inviting me to be your friend. It sounds like you have a great attitude. I love the graphics on your page. I haven't had time to figure out how to customize mine (and I'm a software geek, go figure.)
Are you having any side affects from the medications?

Thanks for inviting me to be your friend. Your pic really doesn't show any hair loss issues at all. I wish I could have as much faith as you do...I mean, I have faith in God...but I also think that God helps those that help themselves. I've been really wanting to put that into practice and find a hair stylist, and a few other women who would want to put our heads together to create a product that might help us deal with the immediate cosmetic issues of our hair loss. Just crazy talk for now...but with the grace of God...

Hey,
Your profile is so encouraging.... more than ever, I am thinking about the purpose of being put through this by God, and know there is a lesson to be learned, as hard is it is...

How do you know you have chronic TE as opposed to AGA? This year, I've had major stress from a family member dying, and then got off the birth control in early May... I know it's been less than 3 months since I quit, but I wish I could get a glimpse ahead to see if this will let up eventually...=(

Also i am about to start Yasmin - have you herad any reports of this?
Bunnykins66 - 9:31 AM on Jul. 31, 2008  reply | message
Hi Sweetypie - What made your Dr diagnose Chronc TE rather than AA as it has been mentioned as a posibillity for me as i have no pattern to my thinning and the numbers are very high (about 150-200 / day). Do you know how many hairs you loose each day and has it made much of a diffrence to the overall look of your hair? You look great on your profile pic you would never know you had a problem!
