ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA & My perception

ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA_

So, this is what I was told that I have. My once thick and curly hair is now much thinner and I get to look forward as I age for more thinning hair. Do I like this? NO! How can I be me like this?
Answer: I can't! My perception must change, I must change my attention on it to move through
this. I am learning and I am in the process of taking this in and not letting it make me hide but
to find ways to be me, live my life, be happy, a great wife and awesome mother even though I have ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA.

I am okay but I do not like this. I am okay but I think this sucks but I will get through this. I am okay but now My twin is experiencing shedding and I have to see her go through the roller coaster that I just went through and will go through until I change my perception and outlook on this._

ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA.
Androgenetic alopecia is also referred to as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. Certain follicles begin to shrink, producing thinner, weaker hair with a shorter life span. With each growth cycle the follicle shrinks a little more. If the follicle continues shrinking it may eventually atrophy. If this happens it will no longer be capable of producing hair. This is a gradual process which occurs over a long period of time. As long as the process is not complete there is potential to minimize the effects. My Dermatologist told me to take a blood pressure med, Yesmin and Men's Rogaine (I use drugstore.com- to buy that one - no way I am buying that at a store- not yet anyways.). So, I heard that proper diet, extreme care, and natural remedies such as aromatherapy can be helpful. I am willing to try and try until I have
felt that I did all I could and that I tried.


Now-> My goal is to drop 10 lbs by my 34th birthday. My plan- coming to a post soon.
