Do you take any type of Beta Blocker for your palps? Metoprolol (Toprol) made my hair fall out BIG TIME. The hair loss is starting to slow now, 2 months after discontinuing the beta blocker....
I am in the same boat. I don't take any meds. and had to result to a wig. I am still looking for answers. Going back on 3/3/11 for some more test. If I have any answers I'll let you know. I get the male balness thing from the doctor too. I think it is either horomenes or a lack vitiams. These doctors only look for an unlying medical problem. It could be something simple. The wig is great I never have to take it off, I wash and dry it while still on. I can go swimming or jump for a plane and not loose it. This was a hard ajustment but it's better than baldness.
Hi, I'm not sure if you still receive these messages, but never too late to try...
In your profile you describe that you're a chemo nurse. Did you assist any radiation therapies during that period of time you lost hair? Could it be related to overexposures?
I know this is an old thread but maybe you will get it. You said you had a wig you never take off. You have a whats called a hair system, right? You have to go back and get it maintain every 6 weeks or so. I was going to look into this too. Was it expensive? Does it look natural, is it comfortable, did you get used to it?
