    Well, looks like I'm off to the doctors :(

    Remember my speel about my eyelashes falling out? Well, it's gotten worse - My hair is now starting to fall out

    It's not too horrible...I have sooo much hair, so it's not noticable, it's so thick...

    My mom finally agreed to take me to the doctor...I'm so scared that I'll have to get a needle I hate needles

    But they may have to take a blood test If they do, please pray that I faint, I don't want to be awake for that I said I would agree to a blood test if they tell me my blood type...Always thought it would be neat to know.

    I'm not ruling out hypothyroidism. I said before how irregular my "not so monthly" is...I read that symptoms can include loss of hair and eyebrows..

    I thought it was just stress......I hope that's all, I've been under ALOT of stress lately...My mom thinks that I have a vitamin defficiency.

    Please pray for me, I know it sounds stupid, but I'm more afraid of getting a needle than anything And I don't want to have something wrong with me.
    I've been BOO'd!

    I hope all goes well. My mom told me that once when she was younger she lost a lot of her hair because she was really stressed..and you say you are so maybe its related to that

    I'll be thinking of you! I have hypothyroidism, actually, and it isn't that bad (in my case). It's treatable, which is a lot more than some people get, so don't worry too much. Think about how now you're going to be able to know what it is and control it to some extent.

    Thanks everyone I know everyone here will be there for me

    I'm so glad it's not that bad I was scared that it would be a horrible disease lol

    I suddenly started thinking about cancer ...I don't think it's cancer, I don't have a family history of it, never once in my family has anyone had it,Except my baby Leather And doesn't cancer hit you pretty quickly? I mean, my hair has just gradually started falling out..

    I don't think that's it at all, but I can't help but think...

    It may have to do with your irregular periods. You said that you always have them most of the time right? I wish you all the best luck. You don't want to your pretty hair to get thin. Hopefully it won't be a biggie and you'll be all well in no time! Good luck!

    Aaah! Don't think of such things silly! It won't be anything bad hopefully! If its just a little minor hormone related thing, its very curable and isn't even a disease. Just the way some people are. Don't worry!!!!!

    Ps. They probably will do a blood test, but don't worry. I got one a few months ago and was freaked out before it, but its not too bad at all. All you do is pull up your sleeve and close your eyes. You will feel a little prick, but once its in, you can't even feel it. It doesn't hurt at all during the test, but your arm might be sore after, for the next few days. Its not too bad. Don't worry.

    BTW, I have a feeling you're being a worry-wart and imagining things.

    All the best at the doctors.

    Having injections isn't that bad, Good advice to close eyes. Don't forget to breath deeply.

    Good luck with the people white coats, AND, do not borrow trouble. Relax, relax, until you have something to worry about. I know it is easy for me to say it, BUT, you have to try to keep yourself in check....it will be helpful overall. Also, lots of people lose hair at various times in their lives. I know a vitamin def. can be the cause of it, among other things. Really, I don't know that hair loss is a sign of cancer, at least not in the early stages- which you would presumably be in, usually it comes about as a result of the treatment for cancer. So, deep breaths, positive thoughts, ok?

    Good Luck at the Dr. appt. I pray that they find nothing serious! I am afraid of needles too! It's just the thought though, all you feel is the stick and it isn't that bad!
