Hi there XXXXXXX I do understand your problem & empathise with your hair loss. But will need some information: Are you feeling tired, weak, malaise laast 1-2 mths, any stressors in specific PCO inclusive, sleep deprived,married, kids?, are the periods assciated with heavy bleeding. I note you had taken folliderm. Are you on any vitamins & if so, which ones? Please get back to me & shall be more specific & do hope to point you in the right direction. P.S..was any hair analysis done? cheers
