Women's Hair Loss Project

I want to welcome all the new ladies To The Women's Hair Loss Project, my story is quite lengthy, you can read it here:
http://www.womenshairlossproject.com/hair-loss/hair-loss-story/
I think the only think I felt that was worse than hair loss, was having hair loss and feeling like I was the only 21 year old this was happening to. I mean what 21 year old looses their hair? Me. Long story short, it was the taking of a birth control pill called Loestrin FE that ended up kicking in my apparent predisposition for female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). My hair just would not stop falling out. I ran from doctor to doctor only to find myself in the same exact place I started, I as exhausted, medicated out, and alone. The best thing I ever did for my hair loss was to starting writing about it. I started The Women's Hair Loss Project in 2007, and the more I wrote, the more women began to write back and share their own stories. And for the first time ever, I felt connected to another who truly understood. That has been the most healing thing for my hair loss. Yes I still take some medications, and my hair does continue to thin, but my mind is stronger, I feel better about myself and not AS much of a prisoner to my hair loss. Although I have not really freed myself from it... not yet. One day.
I know what you ladies are going through, I've lived it, I continue to live with it and I just want you to know I'm here for you. You can always contact me through the forum or the network. Reach out to others, don't suffer in silence.
