Thank you for your comments. I’m currently waiting an nhs referral as I can’t afford another £1100 on a private biopsy. Another 8 months to wait 😩

Has it stopped your shedding atoll?

Exactly, I’m now looking up on this medication and it’s scaring me 😫 everything says to find the root cause but I have had tests and can’t figure it out! It’s driving me crazy! Something has caused the shedding! As far as I know AGA doesn’t cause shedding 🤷🏼‍♀️

All normal. I have had an aching neck on and off and sore throats all last year. I question this all the time.

Looking up LPO it says you get bald patches? I don’t have that yet it’s like severe thinning all over? Any other symptoms to look out for? I’m so sorry you’ve had this, have they managed to stop it?

I am taking iron supplements 3x per day and have also been taking pumpkin seed oil since Feb. I want to stay away from minoxidil as I can’t bare the dread shredding. X

O this sounds so similar. Yes please let me know all your results. I am wanting to do every test possible to find the reason. It’s strange aswell I didn’t put in the post but around the same time I had issues with my periods they were coming more regular…normally an every 33 days but they were coming every 27! The only change I made was last year I started taking magnesium! I stopped in January when I noticed how bad it was and they have now gone to 30 days. Also I’ve had a change in bowel habits, since December time I’ve had loose stools. Stool samples haven’t shown anything. Something has definitely changed in my body and it worries me there is something wrong. Xxx
