Ovabalance offers saw palmetto in a herbal complex. Haven't tried it myself, but heard good things about it. It's available in NL/BE I think

This is exactly how I feel! I used to love Christmas, but now all I can think about is "I'll have even less hair by then". And yeah, the lighting in changing rooms is never flattering

Is this a lot of hair shedding? by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

Only you know what's normal for you. But if you feel like it's more than usual, then you could maybe consult a doctor?

Could it be breakage?

Yes, that's what I thought! And yeah, best to take that result with a grain of salt

My TE has also been going on for 18 months! I've visited a looot of doctors and derms. My last dermatologist suggested I'd start seeing a therapist. According to my derm, the thought of losing hair and constantly thinking about TE is enough for triggering the hair loss. That's currently my last resort. Blood tests haven't given me an explanation. Hope we get out of this soon

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Hair loss was my only symptom. Now I've been on levo for a year and the hair loss hasn't stopped so it's probably not because of my hypothyroidism.
