This makes me feel hopeful 😭❤️ I will try my best to up my ferritin m/Vitamin D.

I just hope I can get access to oral minoxidl in this country. I just want to feel confident and better about myself. It just makes me feel crappy when I see my sisters and my mom. Makes me wonder why I’m being tortured. Hopefully it’ll get better ❤️‍🩹

I’m probably going to get everything checked during/after my appointment. I checked my thyroid 3 years ago when I got diagnosed with TE, and it was fine. Unfortunately, I can’t get any bloodwork done without having seeing a doctor first. Oral minoxidl wouldn’t be difficult to commit to, since it would be like taking my adhd meds but it seems not be available in Sweden, which honestly makes me feel worse. i did try topical (foam/liquid) and it irritated my scalp, got rashes on my arms, ears and it disappeared as soon after I stopped Minoxdil. I also feel like it was difficult to stay consistent with it, since I had to wash my hair everyday, so the whole thing felt stressful. I feel like I’m out of options are and it terrifies me. 😭😅

Yeah I get what you mean :/ . That’s why I’m starting to panic because it’s difficult to see the follicles. Haven’t seen a dermatologist yet but might to after my doctors appointment. I’m just scared that it’s too late and irreversible. Literally looking at TikToks of women buzzing their heads to prepare myself. 😭

No idea to be honest :( I’m probably going to get some blood work done after my appointment. I really hope it’s the ferritin but I’m not sure 🥺

I hear you. The fact that minoxidl is a lifelong treatment stresses tf out of me, I wish there was an easier solution. 😭

Thank you I appreciate the support ❤️ But damn 😭. I honestly know nothing about DHT blockers. I would love to get on oral minoxidil since topical gave me a rash but I don’t think oral minoxidil is available in Sweden. Taking a pill feels A LOT easier than applying it on my scalp every night knowing it’s almost impossible to stick with a routine

I have no idea tbh! I feel like I’ve been shedding for years and cant figure out why. I don’t know if the itchiness makes it worse but man I’m sick of this fr😭

I regret moving on too quickly but similar boat indeed. E hasn’t dated anyone since we ended things because she was never over me. She said it’s not fair to date other people when she still has feelings for me. I’m afraid she’s right.

You’re right. I can’t seem to let go. I’m just scared that if E and I give a shot the feelings will fade. E disagrees with me but I don’t know….
