    Hi dmf. Did you see the derm yet? Did he/she give you any advice on treatment options? There has to be something that does not have horrible side effects, or maybe not. Let me know how it goes for you.

    Hi Dmf, it is good to hear from you. You have to do what treatment you feel comfortable with. How bad is your hair loss at this time? I know you have had it longer than me, but it does not sound as bad. I have lost at least 50 percent, although it has been a slow loss over about a year. After talking with BekindtoEarth, I think I am going to ask the new derm I am seeing today about oral Prednisolone. I dont like the side effects either but I am really afraid of loosing all my hair if I dont do something. Doctors do seem reluctant to go that route. I f you do ever consider it, check with her as she has a lot of good info from her doctor and can tell you more about the side effects. I will let you know what my new derm says.
