Finally got arountuit to go to the dermatologist. He said, with my medical history, my family's medical history, my normal thyroid & near-normal cholesterol tests, no other androgenic symptoms, & lack of response to Rogaine, my hair loss is most likely related to stress and my birth control pills. He said being off the Pill, I should see some regrowth in another 4 - 6 months. I just hope I don't have any serious problems w/the rag thing between now & then. It's bad enough I've been off 'em for 2 months & I am completely broken out.

The doctor also said I need to eat more protein - my hair, nails & skin are screaming for more protein. I'm a pretty dedicated carnivore, but I only eat meat at one meal in general. I could probably pick up a protein supplement, but I'm nervous about them because most are manufactured in China. That, and they are notoriously expensive. Whey is just kind of disgusting, anyway & forget the hemp-seed protein... I've been upping my nut & nut-oil & fish consumption to try to raise my good cholesterol, I just don't see how I can pack more into my diet.

But, since the doctor said it's probably all birth control & protein related hair loss, I can safely go back to DYING MY HAIR!!! Woohoo, no more gray!!! I will have to get up earlier & take my showers earlier (or take them before bed) because blow-drying usually exacerbates hair loss & retards the growth cycles of hair.
