Guys, Opinions for this Lady with HL

[fleur de lis]

Hey Folks,

I noticed that I got quite a few "reads" on this thread, but no replies after a few days, so let me tell you what I am "looking for" here, and maybe you can help me..........

I've lurked here for the last 3-4 months, and I know that you gentlemen experiment with your HL treatment regimes

So Basicly, I'm wondering if any of you have tried the "Titrating upward method" that I mentioned in my posting above regarding Minox, or in any of the other treatment regimes that you have tried

I know that most of you probably just start the Rogaine 5%, and let nature take it's course.........................

But, due to the fact that many people ( male and female) have some pretty nasty scalp pain with HL, and one of the doctors who posts on this very forum stated that Minox can make that pain worse for some people-----I'm wondering if anyone can offer up advice ( and no, I'm not allergic to Rogaine--prior to this shed, I've been on the product for over 12 yrs)

Sorry about the long original post---but I figured that I had to explain my situation ( TMI--Huh?)

BTW--My Dermo ,who's at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas, does some hair loss research, (actually there are 2 well known HL researchers there, one is female and known more for Alopecias ( partial and complete) other is a male, more MPB interests, Most gentlemen on this forum would be familiar with him) stated that even amoungst males, Thyroid disease is one of the leading causes of HL--and many people are undx.ed or insufficiently treated--and the testing misses too many people............

It's the old "Gotta find the trigger" to stop the diffuse sheds criteria thing again
