by the way, biotin and thymus having nothing to do with gender. they are supplements for generating hair growth. they work for everyone. i can go back to my research and pull it up and print it for you later. it was about a year ago that i found it and i can re write it for you. they effect the areas of regeneration and then strengthening. they use them for cancer patients and folks in general. thymus is called a wonder supplement. there is another one but i have to find it... i have it downstairs. it is very difficult to get on line but it is very fast working. there is a more fast working line that i also use and direct application that is for men and women.. she has perfected her science. this application is for:
hair.. you have to use this for 3 to 6 months before you will see amazing results and i do say amazing results.
then she has eye lash application that i also use on eyebrows that you will see results in say two weeks. i use sparingly because honestly your eyelashes and eyebrows will begin to have a life of their own
she has a new line thirdly that is facial. i personally love obagi. so i haven't tried this. but well obagi has taken 10 years off of my face. they say hers does the same. you can also find these on ebay. nice..
so go to janmarini.com for products relating to hair loss and growth, eyebrows, eyelashs, and facial products.... see barbi has the low down. that is why i'm 47 and i look 30 wink winkkkkkkkk

i'm going to caution you ladies about going to gynos for answers because unless they are specialists in hormones and what is the latest udpates in all of this. i mean i've read say 30 white sheets so far and 28 books. ummm. no.. and i also will say this there are a lot of clinics also in california. but i found a man that has treated over 10,000 patients in bev hills and after the research i did. what i found is he knew very little, but he had great pr and was on t.v. a great deal. hell, i knew more than him.. and what he was doing was hideous to women and men. so, what i realized is i'm putting together a list of what to know and what to ask.. and i've decided that through bev hills clinic, that i found, i'm going to ask if they can do free consults via phone and internet, send out the prescrips... when tests are done.. and then refer out to mds and then you can work with both. everyone wins. since they are the good guys, you can all consult together. and i also know the woman that wrote the book "female brain" in sf is amazing. she has a hormonal clinic for woman and teenagers. so i think we do something there as well. so stay tuned.... if we have that. and there are two more people that are amazing in europe.. amazing. if we could do that kind of thing with all of them. well then you are all taken care of..... and boots will have done her job...

thyroid as a few of you have pmd me. i will get back to you on that as well. let me say this. as far as i can tell i came in with thyroid issues as a baby. as a baby you are being nourished by your mother in vitro. my mother was sick the entire time. then she died when i was six weeks old. so i was cut off. thus i have had challanges my entire life, constipation, cold feet, hands, depression, anxiety, thin hair, nails poor self esteem, etc, weight up/down, ... the list goes on... but every time i tried to get it diagnosed they said i was fine. i'll write more tomorrow because i'm tired. but there are 3 types of thyroid issues. anyway, finally dan at bh took one look at me when i came in and told me his story and said you have thyroid issues. i said i know, no one will listen. he said i will. and since he put me on these pills for 5 weeks. life is different. i've waited 47 years to meet dan. fuckers. i mean it. 47 years.... so i'll start a thread i guess or write you later on how med society tests for thyroid but it is bogus.... and how even natural path goes. fuck. but i have bio thyroid tabs. which are bio identical. i know you will kick my ass because i've ventured off the thread.

but it does relate. alcohol relates to perio because you start craving more carbs... and it all relates to thyroid and hormones see nice tie in..

I've been on topa for about 2 yrs now & have about 1/3 of the hair I used to... I thought it was due to the topa... but @ my age (47) it could be just about anything I guess.

I've tried biotin, selinium, pregnancy vits(not prego...just heard they're good for hair)

I'm ready to "shave my ass & walk backwards"...(not that it needs it..LOL)

Regarding THYROID issues, if you haven't seen it, please look at the thread I started called "Link between alcohol and hypothyroidism"... about 3 pages back.

A lot of people added heaps of good advice on there. I'll repeat one thing here, if you are having thyroid issues, or even just suspect you do, your GP and/or Obygyn probably know didlywat about it and cannot/willnot help you. Go to drlowe.com---fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance for the lowdown. Doctor Lowe also does internet consultation -- he diagnoses on sypmtoms, not on what the standard blood tests say. (But you have to get lots of tests done first and send them to him.).

I am SURE there is a link between these 3 -- perimenopause, thyroid and alcoholism. (I'm just gonna let Boots do the hard work of proving it. wink wink)

Beatle I will check into the thyroid thread. Boots I sent an inquiry into bhrcenter and see if they know somebody local, and will get ahold of some biotin and thymus. Heck I might even get myself some mascara for Christmas, I used to have such flirty ones, sniff... lets start anew when you get back. St. Jude, lets see if we can get back that gorgeous hair of yours! Welcome aboard Dolly, lets keep the ideas and thoughts coming, look at RJ's poll, like over 2/3 of us are in this gender/age group, there's gotta be a connection.

Male hair loss: my best friend's husband (age 52) has been taking Propecia for about 6 years, and it has really stopped the balding process noticeably, and even provided some regrowth. All his male relatives are bald as bowling balls, bless their hearts, so he's been thrilled with the results. Look it up...might do the trick for your son.

But in my recent self-exam process, in the past few months, something has occurred to me: I think my metabolism is changing as I approach "that age." I'm in my 40s, have always had regular, non-problematic periods, no noticeable weight gain, but...the mood swings are getting bad, and my response to alcohol is changing. Anyone else notice this? I didn't put a warning about "women only" on this thread, as husbands may want to comment, too!

Had to reply to you Jane, you are so right. My problems began with the change of life. Never before did I have problems when having a few! Its like a switch goes off and BOOM...trouble. Now life is different, I guess for the good, no more wine or vodka! Booze and hormones don't mix. Mood is affected and things come out of my mouth that piss my hubby off, then he calls the police. Have to be good for like a long time cause of that bugger.:H

Luv Ripple....

Jane Jane, I did have him on propecia as a teen and I started noticing results, but he wanted to stop, he said he didn't want to take pills. I tried to do more, hijacked him to the doctors a couple of times, little to no help. Now I wish he'd just shave his head, because bald is sexy as we all know!
