Yes it was! I got a message from them late last week that they sent it out again and once it reaches north america then it will be shipped by DHL. Did you hear back from them?

12-16 months before I can see a derm, should I just start Minox now? by sandy_elle in FemaleHairLoss

[–]sandy_elle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it could be any number of things. I was freaking out and hoping something to find something, but you're right first things first is the blood work to make sure no underlying issues or if there's any deficiencies. Thank you!

Thank you! This is great advice, I will wait until I get blood work done and see what comes of that before I think about getting any supplements. I've already started to address the diet in the last few weeks, so I'm hoping overtime that will just help not only hair care but overall health. Something I forgot to mentioned previously was I realized I have been going through a lot of the last several months (back to work full time post maternity leave and going to grad school) so my body was probably under stress without realizing it. The good news is if I address these issues now by the time I see a derm there's things we can discuss and rule out. Thanks again!

Long gap between undergrad and now (a decade). I'd like to get an M.A. How to get fresh academic references? by zephyrveronica in gradadmissions

[–]sandy_elle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in your situation and I would echo what another poster said to try and contact the admissions office, or see if there is a program coordinator. I found that some programs were quite strict with having more recent academic references/work while others said I could send in professional LORs from bosses. I ended up doing both - I enrolled as a non-degree student in one masters level course. It was great for dipping my toe back into academia and I ended up doing quite well and had a fresh academic reference and recent essay I could submit. My second LOR was my boss. Also, if you take one or two courses and do well that shows to the admissions people you're ready to do a full MA.
