I have thinning hair which is making me miserable, I am only 44 and not ready to give up on my appearance just yet:giggle: Have been to my gp who tested my thyroid and it came back normal. Also tested for anemia and I am borderline so have been given iron tabs. However, she was pretty non comital about the hair loss - so I am wondering whether to ask for a referral to a specialist? I feel vain and like I am making a fuss, as I know there are sick folk out there, but it's making me feel terrible about myself and I feel all my confidence seeping away:wub::frown: I am prepared to pay privately if necessary. Would you wait and see if the iron tabs help or go now? I have been taking them nearly 3 weeks. Would be grateful for any advice - thanks in advance.:smile:
