When I hit peri-menopause at 48 I struggled with a problem that I thought was resolved long ago. I guess people who have hair loss are sensitive to DHT. I will share with you that Finasteride has been a "hair saver" for me. I was rapidly losing until I started taking it four months ago. It has worked and my husband uses a topical formula with finasteride and minoxidil and he's getting his hair back! Derms usulally will not prescribe it to women, but your endocrinologist will. I wondered if any other women have taken or are taking it. There are a lot of blogs for men on this, but not women. I would like to hear from other women about thier experiences with this medication and about some other treatments they tried.
God's blessings to all! We need to support one another because this not an easy issue to deal with.

Hi Carol! I appreciate your note. If you need help or support, I'm here. It's wonderful that you are an artist and I would love to see your work sometime. If you read my book, let me know how you like it.
