The verdict: STRESS       04/28/04 06:03 AM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK I guess stress is the only common denominator here. I used to be IBS-C and now Im IBS-C&D, and the hair's still thin. Stress creates too much of the male type hormones for us girls - adrenaline, testosterone so on. If you're sensitive to these hormones you'll get hair loss. The trigger is actually in the conversion of these hormones into dihydrotestosterone (or something like that) - it's exactly the same as the cause of male pattern balding. In women male pattern balding usually looks more like diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp. I wish I had the answer. Once a stress-head - how do you turn that around. I don't think I ever met someone who suffered from excessive stress levels and then just eliminated stress from their nature/personality/life or whatever it is you have to do?!!?
