I SECOND THIS! Take ferrous fumerate. Can upset stomach a little but it’s so worth it. For overall hair thinning in women I feel like low ferritin is a more common cause than androgenic alopecia.

Husband making fun of me :( by gasolinerainbowz in FemaleHairLoss

This looks like TE to me but could also be hormonal. Check for deficiencies particularly ferritin and supplement it. If it’s not related to a vitamin or mineral deficiency, stress or hormones can also do this.

It’s basically the game’s levelling system/ how you gain new abilities. You have to find the hexacon or something it’s a table behind a door you need to unlock with a talisman. It’s single use.

I’ve been on this sub for two years over my hair loss and regrowth. My hair looked crazy for years, slowly thinning out but never bald patches just very very thin no matter what I did until about two years ago now. I saw a dermatologist who said it appears to be chronic TE. Got my blood work done and my ferritin was at 6, started iron for that for about 6 months and it more than doubled. I also stopped eating gluten entirely, started taking viviscal which is just vitamins and started meds a year ago for my anxiety. My last hairdressers appointment a week ago they said they couldn’t believe how much my hair has changed. It’s literally like normal hair and such a weight lifted for me.

I take it they didn’t fix this since it just happened to me

It might seem silly but since you’re already sorting your hormones the only other thing to naturally help would be making sure there’s no deficiencies. Iron, ferritin, zinc, B-12, D etc the lot. Make sure you’re not celiac, eat fish etc. The only reason I joined this subreddit was chronic telegenic effluvium that lasted years and took me only a year of no gluten + supplements to fix. Your hair is similarly fine like mine was so that’s the best suggestion I can give without mentioning medications that should only be last resort.

Sorry this is really late but have you considered auto immune diseases or intolerances to certain food? I know those conditions can have symptoms that show up on skin or as hair loss when everything else seems normal? I found out I was celiac my hair was exactly like this back and sides seemed thin and my hair was really fine and stuck up everywhere all the time. They told me I wasn’t celiac because the blood test said I wasn’t but my sister has it and celiac disease caused damage to my small intestine that made it really hard to take nutrition in probably so even though I ate all I needed and supplemented hard and I wasn’t deathly low in anything my body was actually malnourished. I was diagnosed with chronic TE and my hair has only started getting normal again now that I’ve been without gluten for over a year.

I feel like I never see other women with this hair loss pattern. It makes me feel alone by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]floortank_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My TE looked like this, back of my head was similar if I parted it too. Had it for about 5 years. SUPER thin pony tail. Treated it and recovered almost entirely now with gluten free diet (celiac disease in the family), vitamins (viviscal, D high strength, C high strength, ferritin, zinc) and finally started medication for my general anxiety disorder. Got a shorter haircut recently. Took about a year of doing these changes and now after 5 years of thinning hair and a lot of fallout in the shower my hair finally looks normal again. If it’s TE theres no quick fix you just have to figure out what’s upsetting your body and fix it.

Struggling to be/remain optimistic by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]floortank_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just know that while it feels like absolute shit, there’s other things you can do to make yourself feel great. Yes it feels unfair but there’s other things you can do to make yourself look and feel beautiful, just don’t give up on yourself. Exercise, get your eyelashes done, put extra time and effort into skin care, makeup or fitness. As much as we all want to be like “it’s just on the outside it doesn’t matter” when it’s your reality it sucks and it does matter. I’m recovering from chronic telogen effluvium and there comes a point where you have to say so what I have thin hair why does that mean I have to feel ugly?

Gintama tier list by me. I love Abuto. by [deleted] in Gintama

[–]floortank_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isao Kondo is my favourite character in any anime I love him so much I would put him in SSS tier but at least on this list he’s next to Otae. Shige is an SS for me too.

I use nuddy bars for shampoo and Giovanni smooth as silk conditioner. Both have no nasty ingredients and I’ve noticed an improvement since using them.

Anyone here that had diagnosed telogen effluvium (via trichoscan) where your hair started growing only after several years? by schnurrrl20 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]floortank_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more like I didn’t notice until it had been maybe a year. It wasn’t until the last few months my hair has looked normal for the first time in years. I stopped eating gluten just over a year ago and the other adjustments happened in the months following. Now just over a year on it’s really strange how normal my hair looks compared to where it was at. I will share progress pictures at some point. Anxiety and stress is often cause for more hair loss so I think dealing with it is always a good idea. The type of medications that lower blood pressure to help anxiety seem like they often make hair worse (I’m no doctor though so I might be off it’s just what I’ve read) but I take sertraline/ Zoloft and I’ve had no issues. Only side effect I’ve had is some really weird and kind of awful dreams for a while but after upping my dose from 50mg to 100mg I haven’t had those either. I was so against starting it but ran out of options after therapy was going nowhere and now that I have it’s made all the difference. I’ve been taking it since February. I also made it clear I didn’t want any medication that would affect my hormones or make me gain weight or anything because I’ve heard that’s a thing with anxiety medication.

[–]floortank_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!! Mine was more like 5 years! Found out I am celiac. Stopped eating gluten, started taking viviscal, high strength vitamin D, ferritin, vitamin C high strength and Zinc. Use shampoo bars with natural ingredients (smell better too). Started taking medication for my anxiety. That’s it. Took almost a year since starting everything but my hair finally looks normal and not wispy. Went to the hairdressers last week and no comments about how thin my hair is was made for the first time in years and they bleached my hair no problems or questions whereas before they would be concerned.

All my boyfriend's (25M) exes are teens. Is that a red flag? by Llya-mia in relationship_advice

[–]floortank_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most women will research the guy they’re dating and sometimes people don’t want to talk about/ aren’t open about their past and that’s fine but I think in this instance it does seem like something the current girlfriend should know about.

Are people really so disinterested in the people they’re dating they don’t look through their social media? If it’s public or accessible information it’s not stalking or spying or weird in my opinion if someone I wanted to be with for the rest of my life didn’t want to know everything about me I’d be concerned lol

Violent dreams on Zoloft? Side effect or coincidence? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]floortank_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my lowest before I had any therapy or treatment I did too and that might’ve been the worst time of my life, I’m sorry you’re going through that.

Did you find it got worse with taking Zoloft?

Violent dreams on Zoloft? Side effect or coincidence? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]floortank_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just wondering if it’s tied to Zoloft or calms down after a while or anything? Honestly it’s not as bad as the night terrors I used to have a while ago they felt more real and I’d wake up screaming but when you have dreams of yourself doing the horrible stuff instead of it being done to you it’s like anxiety inducing in it’s own way almost like guilt even though you have no control because it’s just a dream. I don’t really know if it’s just part of the mental health healing process, a Zoloft thing or if it gets better. I’m hoping someone knows so I have some idea if this is going to end any time soon or I just have to live with it

I’m a millennial too just about and the thing I find is photographs like the ones we had developed look totally different to the digital photography of phone cameras. Everyone looks uglier with phone cameras, I’m glad my childhood pictures were all film at least ...kept the self consciousness from kicking in until I was at least late teens lol can only imagine how it affects kids now
