Thank you for the response :)

My hair stylist actually mentioned HRT as a method haha so you aren’t the first. I’m honestly on the fence about it, which is surprising because I didn’t expect that from myself. I’m fine with most of my body, just not my hair haha. I will ask my doctor, thank you :)

I’ve heard from friends of mine that given how warm I tend to run that a wig would be tough, but yes, I am considering it. It would be a holding action, so to speak, definitely.

I understand other people could/might be fine if I am bald, but it’s more that I am losing a rather large focus of my femininity, and have to work around that. I mean that’s getting older, this is just more… extreme. I wish I had just gone entirely gray early, that I can work with.

I do appreciate it, thank you.

Thanks for your response :)

My doctor and I discussed finasteride/minoxidil and one of the issues is that I have had (extremely) poor responses to a whole bunch of medications. The worry is that I will get one of the more severe ones given my past experience, sadly :(

Thanks for your response though, I’ll try to get another doctor appointment and discuss those drugs as soon as I can.
