It is time to aggressively find an answer. I am a 53 year old female who looks much younger. I weigh 126 pounds and am 5'5". I exercise 4 times a week and have an active job (RN). I will say that I have more stress than other people especially over the last two years. I started noticing my hair falling out. It is all over the house. There are few times I can touch my hair without a few loose ones coming out. I've been tested for thyroid and had numerous other blood tests. All normal. My GYN said my blood tests showed that I'm in perimenopause. I went off the BC pill about 1.5 years ago and my hair REALLY started falling out. Now my ponytail is pitiful. What is left on my head is dry and fine. I have no doubt that you will be able to see through to my scalp in a few more months. I am at wit's end as to why this happened. Doctors don't seem to even listen to me once they rule out thyroid. Can anyone give advice? I heard about Minoxodyl but it seems you have to put on for a few hours twice a day and then wash out....forever. I have a life!

Do you take any type of Beta Blocker for your palps? Metoprolol (Toprol) made my hair fall out BIG TIME. The hair loss is starting to slow now 2 months after discontinuing the beta blocker....
