What helps with hair loss?

@bevsau I also suffer from thinning hair. I consulted a dermatologist who told me she was the "hair expert." I had a biopsy. The results were that I had alopecia, scarring, and inflammation. She wrote me a prescription for a topical solution. Evidently she didn't even consult all the medications I am allergic to. This medication caused my blood sugar to rise. I wondered why I felt so "funny" and it was so hard to get out of bed. Thankfully I still had enough left to figure out that this started with the medication. One day after stopping it I started to feel better. No more medications for me. Right now I am just going with it. If all my hair falls out I will just get a wig.

@thisismarilynb, I am so sorry you had this awful experience. I had a NP prescribe something for me that is clearly on my allergy list. I would get a wig, but not sure I can go that route because my scalp burns. No one really knows the answer to this, but there are some who recommended meds so you might wish to go back and look at other people's solutions. I hope you will find something that helps you. With all good wishes, @joybringer1
