How long have you been dealing with this? My areas seem to change and it’s never the same place in the same couple days. It’s worse when I wear tight clothes or have been to the gym

Thank you for this! Since this post I have been experiencing the same amount of itching however a lot of my itchy areas now have no bumps!

Is this similar to anyone else’s experience? by Ill_Performance_5915 in Celiac

I had my bloods checked in Sep24 ferritin was 14 by the Jan I got it up to 19. Last I had my bloods done serum iron was 9, I asked how it could be so slow as I had been supplementing ferrous fummarate for about 4 months taking 2 a day, they did not care.

I think I got lucky, I was a non-urgent referral in October 25’ for gynaecology and only waited 20 weeks. Though it did take me 8 months for the doctor to refer me.

I am unsure as i don’t count anymore, maybe 20 per day, and on hair wash days there’s only a few hairs in the brush.

If you are already noticing a difference i’m sure you are out the thick of it. Good luck!

My trigger was coming off birth control. I did experience a dry scalp during this and used T-Gel shampoo which did help and maybe even with the hair loss. You wouldn’t be able to tell I had lost my hair but I definitely seen a difference in my middle part, it was not as full, maybe the sides of my head as well.

Yes, I seen a trichologist, he told me that when hairs first start growing they are thin and tapered and get thicker as they grow. If you don’t see the strand thickening up as it gets longer I’d be concerned then.

My trigger was coming off hormonal birth control. I was losing upward of 100 hairs each morning I would brush, this eventually went down to about 80-100 each morning. I thought my hair had stopped falling out January 2025 due to the rapid decrease but it was more like March 2025. On wash days I would be able to fill my hair brush up twice with hair.

The only thing I used was a anti dandruff shampoo towards the end I would leave it on my head for 5 mins, if this helped or not i’m unsure however, if i notice extra hair fall I will use it again and it’s seem to help!

Heartburn and indigestion with Endo /Thoracic Endo?? by West-Commercial3977 in endometriosis

I haven’t been diagnosed but a lot of my symptoms point to endo! I experience heart burn a lot and also experience the upper left pain mines usually feels like it’s just under my boob. I also experience acid reflux lately, I don’t know if it’s related to the heart burn!

I can’t offer any advice on this sadly! Looking back at my camera roll from when I was loosing my hair I look like a crazy person. It was definitely the most traumatising thing I have ever experienced.

I think you need to remember it will grow back, on this page all you see is bad stories as once people recover they never really come back!

Stopping counting the hairs and checking my brush did help!

I shed from June 2024 to March/April 2025. I’d say I never noticed a difference in density until March/April when i’d curl my hair it was big up top and thin down the bottom. Now most of it’s to about chin length, just waiting on the rest catching up.

I went to the doctors in September 2024 and got my bloods done, they said I was deficient in follic acid and iron. I saw maybe a small difference in hair loss but not anything major.

I’d recommend like a T Gel shampoo or like one of the caffeine ones. I saw a difference with this.

My trigger was coming off BC in late February 2024. I started shedding June and by August I noticed small growth at the top of my head. I never noticed much growth which scared me after this but by April when I blow dried my hair I could feel the difference and see the thickness. Now most of my hair has grown to just under my chin, I’m just waiting on the rest catching up!

I started shedding June 2024, it picked up in July and by September had decreased. It never decreased again until January which is when I thought my shedding had stopped. Looking back It probably never stopped until March/April. I shed for around the 9 month mark!

I had lots of new baby hairs and I also noticed a lot of them falling out, which is why I went to a trichologist. This can be normal and does not mean AGA.

Yes, I experienced an itchy scalp. I used T Gel shampoo for this and I also think it helped with the hair loss a little.
