hi everyone!

i am 24 yrs old..my hair loss started about 3 yrs back..but since i had lots n lots of hair, very dense, my sclap never showed..so i just ignored it..coz as long as i remember i always had lots of shedding..even normally..so it was normal for me..

then about 3 yrs back the shedding increased manyfolds, clumps of hair coming out during showering n brushing..then an year later, even a slight running of fingers thru my hair would pull out about 100 strands EACH TIME!!..n everytime i touched the end of my ponytail more n more hair were ready to fallout..

consequently i dreaded even touching my hair..although thru all these years my hair continued to grow in length..this manic hair loss continued for about 2years..n i lost about 2/3rd of my hair..also now i ve vry noticeable bitemporal recession...it was then dat i panicked n consulted a homeopathy clinic..

d doc diagnosed me wid AGA..n gave me medicine..2 months into d treatment n now my hair loss is about 30-40 per day..some days it is upto 70-100..but rarely..also loss in shower is about 30-40..or maybe even less..also i ve noticed wen i shampoo my hair d loss is much less on dat day..

also i take multi vitamins, biotin follihair, vit E tablets...later on i remembered i was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism 3 yrs back..but doc told me to eat right n exercise..after dat i dint get a follow up on it..i took my thyroid n ferritin tests today..ll get d result tomorrow..

so now i thnk maybe i dont ve aga but cte due to hypothyroidism..but since ds homeopathy med has controlled my hair loss atleast, m a bit better..but then ds cud also be cte recovering normally..still ve doubts on my diagnosis..n i cant rule out stress too coz these 3 yrs ve bn vry stressfull...

i do ve small hair growths in frontal region..but considering d amount of hair loss i ve had, i still ve a long way to go..m keeping a positive attitude towards this n i do sincerely hope i ll be a lot better 6months down d line...
