Thanks for all of that info. I to oam scared of the summer as I am afraid all the growth will be taken away by the heat!

My iron is low and zinc is low but not low enough for the doc to allow iron injections I have tried: accupuncture, chinese herbs, natropath, iron, zinc supplements, trichologist- menoxidol and am taking aldactone. I have aquired female allopecia- (baldness) I just want to be normal again! I am only 27 and I get depressed about it- people without this condition don't realise how stressful it is to not have hair- it makes such a difference. I had very thick hair as a child and now it is so thin. I hate standing in the sunlight. Recently it got very bad and it fell out heaps- the main area seems to be the top and front of my hair so if I wear it up I can hide it to a degree but then it falls out more becuase it has been tied up.

If you have any suggestions please let me know. I am in Evans HD NSW but go to Sydney regularly.

Thanks for the support.
