hi LiAnn yes I have gone to many doctors which of one was a dermatologist. i done this back in mid 2010 i think. they did a scalp biopsy which came back that i was experiencing both adrogentic alopecia and telegon efflevum. I guess once i noticed the thinning i have thought to myself well i guess that's it i'm going to go bald I guess i don't have much hope of it ever coming back which is very sad as i used to have such great hair and used to get it coloured every few months or so. I have not gone to a hairdressers since end of 2009. just recently though i put through a 8 wash red colour which i liked. i'm not sure what caused the onset of my hair falling out but i think it was a combination of living with a bf at that time who was very emotionally abusive and then my mother kicked me out because of this and then the friends i lived weren't good at all. due to all this i have fibromyalgia aswell i just feel my life has gone so downhill in a way. if i could go back to say 4 years ago i would do so many things differently :(
