Hi – I live in Melbourne Australia & would really like some recommendations on Dr’s, Specialist, Hair Replacement or Hair/ Toppers/ Wigs etc services anything that might be able to help me out. I have had thinning hair, mainly on the top for the last 4 years. I have a history with Hormones, Thyriod & Gluten/ Wheat issues (& Frucose Malabsorption). I do see a Specialist (4yrs now) & have been on Bio-Hormones for a number of years. I live in hope that everthing I am doing (hormone/ thryiod, vit’s & diet) will help but I think I am at the stage where visually I might need to do something about my appearance without damaging my remaining hair. Plus my confidence is taking a dive. Any ideas or advise would be greatly appreciated. I am so glad I have found this forum- thank you to whoever started this, as up to now I have had pretty much zero support & just wish I knew why it was happening and what I might be able to do about it…

Hi,
Would anyone out there know of a good hair stylist that is used to working with thinning hair (in Sydney Australia)? Or alternatively a good wig manufacturer close by.
Thanking you.

For you who are on SPiro, you guys are so lucky that your doctor’s even prescribed Spiro to you. I have been trying to fight my hair loss, acne, hirsutism (PCOS in general) for ages & ages, my doc just gives me stupid useless medicine like Minomycin, Doryx, Clindatech for the acne, doesnt work at all. In the 4 years ive had PCOS he has not given me not ONE thing to help treat the symptoms & prevent future implications. I was getting hives on my face 24/7, doc didnt know how to get rid of those, after doing MY OWN reserch i started drinking wheatgrass juice, bam no more hives since. I can eat any foods also, couldnt have acidic foods for a while & that was painful. What im trying to basically say is, my doc is an idiot & he is frustrating me. He made me cry yesterday giving me a straight up & abrupt NO to giving me SPiro. I question his knowledge & skill & honestly am not going back to him ever again.. He hands out BC like candy btw. Something which raises insulin/glucose levels so if your pcos is due to high insulin levels, BC isnt ideal. All i want is Spironoloctone. Thats it. I have been combating my hair loss (trying to) for a year now & acne for 7 years or so, ive tried all these other methods, ive tried not stressing, ive tried herbal & natural, (have only been on herbal med for 3 months & realise it takes upto 6 months to see effects) but time is running out & soon i will need a wig & will be too depressed to even shower. Grose but true. If anyone from Sydney, Australia reads this & knows a General Practicioner/Endocrinologist or Gyneocologist that will be MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP by prescribing me Spironolactone without stringing me along & milking me for money, please let me know……… Ive run out of options.
