I'm 31. For many years, I had that typical male balding pattern and for 4 years now, I've been wearing a toplace hairpiece with which I got along very well. As my hairstyle is quite long, it took a while before I noticed what was going on with the rest of my hair.

RADICAL THINNING. Over the last 12 months, it seems like I have LOST ABOUT 70% of what I had of rest hair. The thing is: My rest hair has thinned so heavily that it hardly fits to the avarage/low hair piece density. And it's getting worse.

In my case, it can have many reasons: First of all, I have a slight iron deficiency as I'm not only a vegetarien but also had poor nutrition habits throughout the last years. PLUS I'm having a thyroid disfunction (hypofunction) which hasn't been treated for 24 months. PLUS I'm having stress and bad sleeping...

What really SHOCKED me, last week, is that when I went to a hair specialist, he told me that the hair I've been losing in my sides and back is very UNLIKELY TO COME BACK! Even after successfully treating the deficiency symptoms.

That was like a slap in my face. And I'm still shocked.

I want at least my back and side hair back!!! Please! I'm taking the thyroxin again, I started a better nutrition and I would even give up vegetarianism after many years.

Are the chances really that bad?
