thanks again for the encouragement! if it grows back I PROMISE to post updates all those crazy paranoid message boards I've been reading on hair loss. I would hate for anyone else to feel this scared.

doctors just piss me off. well GP's anyway. i really hate saying that, but i've just never experienced one to be useful or helpful with any conditioning I've EVER had. And I am just so grateful that I've never had a life threatening illness. Maybe they are more effective when you're dealing with a specialist, but every GP I've had has been dismissive, or just quick to prescribe meds. it's so disheartening to feel vulnerable and scared and have someone react like you're wasting their time.
