My name is Lorrie. I have FPB which has been a problem for about 18 years (I am 37). Last year I started to take minoxidil female strength but this did nothing. I was advised by a trichologist to try the male stuff which I started to use in August of last year.
Last week I started to get the most terrible shedding. I know that minoxidil can cause this during the first few weeks of use but I dont know if this is what the problem could be at the moment and wondered if anyone knows if I am beyond the 'shedding' stage.
As a result, I am awaiting an appointment to go to Harley Street Trichology clinic to see what, if anything, can be done to help me.
I have put up with this condition for a long time but this week it's just got too much for me and I am getting very depressed about it!
Sorry to grumble
Lorrie
