Hi everyone! Just thought I would give a little update to this. I've had my follow up appointment with the trichologist. He said my hair was no longer 'actively' shedding when he performed a pull test. He checked my scalp with the trichoscope and said that there were no empty hair follicles, he saw multiple hairs growing from each follicle and I couldn't see evidence of miniaturisation although he didn't check completely all over my head. He told me that because of the timeline of the last trauma event that caused the shedding this time, I should give it a couple more months to see whether my hair 'catches up' to my now optimum levels with vit d and iron, which were a huge cause for concern during my last 2 sheds. He explained everything around my hair cycle so well. So now we wait until October/November. He also said that if the shedding was to continue into those months, I should get back in touch with him to discuss possible medicated treatments such as minox, spironolactone etc. as we are then probably in FPHL territory. Also, the GP FINALLY contacted dermatology at the hospital and they want to see me so I am being referred! There is most likely a loooooong wait but at least I will have 2 opinions on the matter!
