I need some reassurance...

Hello everyone. What do your levels have to be for my hair to grow back on the places that I haved thinned out?  Does everyone grow there hair back?  How long will it take?  I've been using NIOXIN 2 and I think it works great.  I see little hairs growing on the temple.  But I'm really worried about the partition of my hair, its getting noticeable. I have to wear my hair in a ponytail to disguise.  I really hate that.  All I want is some reassurance that my hair will grow back for my scalp not to show.  I don;t even want to go to work anymore. I used up all my vacation time. Any one out there, can you help?

Oh and I remember those days very well. I lost a ton of hair, and my scalp was raw. Hopefully you can get a hold of your doctor and get an increase:) good luck

I agree with Laura. I have been better with a 1.0 level. I am still have some hypo sympotms but I am sure that they will leave shortly.

There is still room for improvement at those levels. Most people feel better at a 1.0-2.0. Your T4 should be around a 1.5 or 1.6.

Usually once a person has been at optimum levels for a period of time, then their hair loss stops.
Are you at optimum levels? What are your most recent levels?? How long have you been at these levels?
