My Hairloss Diary - I have decided to take action - Entry 001

I have decided to take action. I am tired of washing my hair and watching my thick and full locks being plunged through the bath hole. I am currently 27 and my father or mother  have had no hairloss whatsoever, the only person who has had hairloss was my mothers father so it may be in the genes.

I guess I need to know why my hair is falling out. I have decided to go and see a specialist and find out what options I have available. I have a gut feeling that my hairloss could be linked to the food I eat and everytime to have refined wheat or flour my hairloss seems to become more and more prevalent.

My hairloss was triggered 3 years ago when I started megadosing on Vitamin A, I read a article somewhere that large doses of vitamin A (about 1grams) had the same effect as accutane (one of the most effective cystic acne RX), I started taking this dose and while my skin did improve my hair started to fall out quite fast. I eventually stopped taking the Vitmain A supplement and my hair did start to grow back but ever since I have been losing hair so I must'nt forget to mention this to the hair specialist.

My next entry will be the contents of the meeting with the hair specialist, as always I would welcome any helpful tips you may have.
