Profile Information:

Relationship Status:: Married
About Me:: 24 going on 25. Married to my wonderful hubby since I was 22. Have had a large bald spot (unchanging) since I was 5. Not noticeable but could never comfortably put my hair up. Went on Yaz when I was 22 and began getting patches off hair loss. Hadn't had any new baldness though since I was five. Got steroid injections successfully but hair would just fall out in other spots. Went off of b.c. after a few months. Started optometry school in Aug of 2008. Stress has been baaad for the baldness. Lots more patches, still responding to the injections but falling out more rapidly. Now I have an ovarian cyst and the doc wants to put me back on birth control to shrink it. I know it will cause the hairs to fall out more. Ive also had my thyroid fully removed from having thyroid cancer. Hypothyroidism also runs in my family. All related? You tell me. When will I find a doc who cares about all my problems and not just one body part at a time! I live for Jesus Christ and know that he has a greater plan for my life than I could ever imagine!! :)
Do you have alopecia?: Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?: Yes - I am 18 or older

Hi Melody!! I am Donna. I too have thyroid trouble (hypo) and ovarian cysts. Hair loss definitely seems to be related :(. How are you doing? You are a beautiful lady! I hope all is well!

You are gorgeous. I have premature ovarian decline, thyroid disease, psoriatic arthritis, and of course hairloss and yeah, I think they are related. My experiences with doctors has been exhausting and to little avail. It is nice to meet you.
