Well...yes, I had very nervous bowels and had to go to the toilet 4 times while waiting!!!
It was worth it, though. Now, I'm not in the dark.
So, according to Dr. K., I have aloepecia aerota. The cause of mine is related to a mega-stressed out immune system. He suspects it is related to my bouts with Pernicious Anemia (B12/folate deficiency). According to him, my hair has shown regrowth for 5 months, and also 2 months in the final patches which are etching in. Basically, my family M.D. is to hyper-monitor my immune response via bloodwork. Also, should my hair start falling out, I'm supposed to see him for cortisone injections into the scalp to stop hair cells/follicles from immunologically attacking and falling out. So, that's the gyst! He strongly strongly strongly expects me that hair will be just fine--it passed the strand/rip tests. My scalp looks healthy. He says to stick with the protein and the B12 injections/foods, etc.
I AM SO HAPPY!!!
For those interested in the Silica/hair growth verdict from the doc., here's what he said:
EAT IT FROM YOUR FOOD. Supplements are a waste of time/$$$ in this regard. So, in essence...diet is a big factor and my high silica upgrade has been paying off via eating it. I actually stopped the gel a few months ago without a difference in the hyper-regrowth.
Thanks so much for listening to my brain-babble.
Oh, re: my ability to keep on weight problem...I picked up some fatfree SoGood--it's yummy in tea. Also some soy yogurt. It agrees with me! Wow! I'm going to try and slip a little calcium in my beverages/meals...not bad. It's the only one that I've tried that hasn't given me acid or gurgles, i.e. gas/trots--probably due to its fatfree content.
Lol! I was so nervous waiting that I was afraid to fart! Hot liquid farts made it to the appropriate deposit box!
Later,
Kate
