I don't know what to fucking do. 3 different doctors in 6 months have done jack shit for me. is there anything else I can be doing here or am I truly fucked into becoming a bald tranny at age 26?
Pic related, it's about what I lose every time I wash my hair
there's types of alopecia that don't have anything to do with androgens, did they test for those?

Do you brush your hair regularly and thoroughly or do you skip it a lot of the time?

I have wavy hair and brushing it makes it frizzy and ugly. i comb with a wide toothed comb at least 2x daily they checked e and t, normal. did a comprehensive metabolic panel, normal. tested for thyroid, normal. b12, normal. vitamin d, normal. only thing slightly off is my white blood cell count has been consistently hovering around the low range of normal. Sometimes below, sometimes above. the doctor who ordered that told me that was fine but that's the one who's convinced i have ocd so i don't know if I trust that

knew I'd get this comment kek

rope time for me :)

Sorry I really shouldn't be mean, mostly it's stuff aimed at myself
i get it frend - i didn't take it personally but i do hope you can try to learn some healthier coping mechanisms
Xavier Clark
You should do that 23 and me and make sure you don’t have some weird medical condition. Alopecia is linked to immune system so the white blood cell thing could be linked but probably not. You can get hair loss shit done by a tele doc, why waste time in office.
Also the usual suspects: eat healthy, wash your sheets, make sure it’s not a product you’re using that you are allergic to, check your daily stress levels, check water tests for your municipality to make sure it’s not a chemical thing.

Cant imagine what it could be if your hormone levels are balanced. Maybe you wanna get your prostate checked, mold in your house, or diet, something. Are you eating well enough?
Ian Foster
not them but also check you arent tying it too tight. i never tie my hair and i still lose about that much 2x times a week when i shampoo
Angel Price
i live in a shitty old duplex & i def don't eat great but I've eaten way worse for a long time and still had better hair. & didn't think of prostate but I can ask my hrt doc about that I'm poor so have medicaid - 99% of the time it doesn't cover telemedicine. will consider genetic testing but i don't want my whole genome to be bought and sold also. what should i be looking for in the water btw?
Easton Lee
i literally never put it up - fully exposes the honforehead which instakills anyone who sees it. but thx for the advice

chlorine and mercury and shit like that
eating is very important... you need your grains fibers proteins veggies and vitamins. If you eat like shit your body suffers and it can't fight off harsh environments.

this is the most recent shit off my city's website-
Raw Water Quality Non-Carbonate Hardness, ppm: 100 Total Hardness, ppm: 405 Total Hardness, grains per gallon: 23.68 pH: 7.36
Treated Water Quality Non-Carbonate Hardness, ppm: 103 Total Hardness, ppm: 154 Total Hardness, grains per gallon: 9.00 pH: 9.49 Chlorine residual, ppm: 2.78 Iron content, ppm: 0.02 Fluoride content, ppm: 0.68
rest is probably telogen effluvium, enjoy. hard to combat, but reversible, just have to stop stress

Giving blood regularly (or plasma) helps remove forever chemicals from your body. If you’re paranoid, they got your genome at birth anyway, pretty standard to take blood or take the placenta. Or like, they get it from your trash, whatever.
Take a vitamin for healthy hair. I do olly biotin and collagen for hair/nails.
