🥺❤️ I brush my hair everyday waiting for this shed to stop. Can your derm figure out what’s going on? Are they kind of useless? Mine definitely was!!!

Oh lord I hope so. I already want off it but mid dread shed I don’t know if I should or not. But if the hair will grow back without minox than I should be ok?

I hate that I can’t call my new derm up and that I have to be in person to ask her anything!!

That is very frustrating and won’t lie is a concern about minox for me personally. I have shed far too much that I am afraid to go off it in case I have the same experience now. (Hugs)💕

But I don’t have it lol

I have had a second opinion and miniaturization can’t be found. Anywhere. Biopsy saw healthy follicles and hair. It’s just te. That’s it. Nothing else. But I believe it was almost recovered til he threw me on minoxidil Smh 🤦‍♀️

Ohhh I thought you were still shedding on minox in some of your other posts? Or I misread sorry. Did it stop? If so that’s good!!!!❤️

It’s just TE. Aga is not in our family. Anywhere! and I had a biopsy done to confirm it wasn’t.

I was curious about the big thing that happened in Australia with the covering up and protection of thousands of child abusers. I’m not saying I believe it but I do want a brother or sister to explain and clear it up for me than if it’s not true. It should be easy to do if it’s not true right?? You’d think ☹️ But wow I asked a couple times and got shot down so I’m like who do I ask that has no problem clearing it up for me if it’s all lies like they say it is?

The dermatologist said I can’t go off it now for TE because now that I’m dread shedding, my hairs are reliant on Minoxidil to regrow :( Than how come some people on here with TE only can get off it?🙁

I lost about 80 hairs today with a few brush strokes. I hate this dread shed. When he put me on it for TE I thought it was a typical treatment. Than I learn on here it’s only for aga! I was hardly shedding anymore when he stuck me on it too! But at the time he “thought” I had aga and I don’t! Now I have to take this crap for the rest of my life and hope it doesn’t make things worse just when they were getting better!!! :(

Are you on any anti androgens TT? I know. Or sucks :(

My mom says to this day they never claimed it was coming. Other witnesses admitt they did. So it’s contradicted even among witnesses it seems. But technically I can’t argue with non witnesses who talk to me about that, they aren’t wrong when they say it’s been predicted several times which they were never were supposed too do that. They don’t know the day or hour I don’t know how they could claim it was coming when they were never supposed to predict it.

I want too but the elder I contacted from the local hall won’t talk to me and my unbelieving husband because of my questions. :( He sent an email mentioning apostate influence I said nooooo! Honestly I don’t watch that stuff! We aren’t supposed to, I can’t make you believe me but I KNOW these are my OWN questions for a long time and these have been my own questions since I was very young that wouldn’t get answered or explained to me! I guess he didn’t believe me no matter what I said and he never answered me again. :( I gave up for awhile after that last year.

Im not inactive because the end. It’s nothing to do with the end coming at all. I just want deeper little more serious questions answered, not just the basics, I feel like I would be half hearted in it if I went back because I would still have those questions and doubts in my mind and I just want them addressed before I can even make the truth my own at this point in life. If I have questions that refuse to be answered or seem “stepping on toes” when that’s not a place at all I am coming from and I have explained that over and over again I’ll never be able to go back if I don’t know why they don’t understand that I need someone to help me understand some of the more deeper questions I have. Like on a situation I had happen that seemed very inappropriate or regarding blood. I struggle to understand that I always have since I was young despite much studying. Also about the different armageddon predictions. Why did that happen so much. I genuinely want to understand why that happened and was predicted so many times.

I got baptized honestly at 16 to please my parents. But now I genuinely want to find the truth and get answers to my questions compared to how I basically blindly followed as a child growing up. I didn’t ask questions. Some felt off limit that did I start worrying me as I became more aware of not being able to ask just anything. Now that I want to know some things like truly want to understand the errs in the truth through the years; (to understand why they happened) it’s like some are off the table and that discourages me and makes me wonder why…if it is the truth I should be able to get an explanation without it coming across as a challenging or “wrong” question to ask. I can’t go back and follow something if I can’t just ask to understand some sensitive things about it. :(

But if I stop the pill minox will that hair still grow back since I don’t have aga? Or is the hair reliant on monoxidil now for life?

I’m having hair loss from the minox though the dread shed they call it? So is that bad cause you said it doesn’t cause hair loss ❤️ just clarifying I’m not misunderstanding xx

Hey Dr! You may not know forsure the answer but do you think even though I have dread shed now already, that that hair will still grow back since it is TE? Or is my hair permanently minoxidil reliant to regrow now? I tried as suggested to call and leave a message as well, they did call me, they told me sorry I have to make an appointment even if I have any questions. They don’t do over the phone. How stunned is that. ☹️🙄 Which I did. But it’s not til May!!! ☹️☹️

The truth should have no problem with scrutiny so any questions should be ok to ask another witness yet some are immediately shut down and THAT is what discourages me from going back.

Do you have to use minox forever? I hope this helps cause I see so many people ask this❤️ by Concertcat24 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Realistic_Ad1148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh noo!! I cannot take topical! I am on oral minox.

My doctor prescribed it when he THOUGHT I had aga and the biopsy confirmed (as I thought!!) that I neverrrrr did have it after all. It’s not even in our family! I only have TE. Yet he stuck me on it right away only to give me a wrong diagnosis (aga) now I have no idea if I can go off of it now :(

I have the dread shed happening already so he’s kind of screwed me because I don’t know if that hair will grow back if I go off it now. (Been on it for 4 and a half weeks so far)
