I'm sorry, Amy. I know you're very distressed. Not to fear, girl. Things are not as dire as they might seem.

Have you talked with a dermatologist about treatment options? Rogaine, minoxidil, all that kind of stuff. Or perhaps you're suffering from a condition not related to male pattern baldness. You're pretty young to have lost so much. You won't know until you see a specialist.

The most inexpensive and convenient option is obviously a wig. They can be human hair or synthetic, good quality or bad, short or long. I spent just over $100 on a high quality mono filament wig, and I'm complimented on how natural it looks all the time. My HRT doc even thought it was my real hair, and she's trans!

Hair implants are the third option, but they are very expensive, and if you had to do your entire head, it would cost a dang fortune.

I hope that helps, hon.

Hi Amy,

In the USA, not sure about the UK, minoxidil can be purchased without a prescription. I've no experience with it, but it would be worth trying. Can you do that?

Love, Kat

Hi Amy,

I'm so sorry to hear that finances are bad. In times like this, it's better to focus further down the road: what can be done to get the money to do the things required to make your life better? Keep working to that goal, it will get better!

Love, Kat

Amy, I completely hear you on this, but I think that if you're not transitioned, you can probably get a job 'stealth'-like as a man, and while that would be awful temporarily, you could maybe save enough money so that you could do this. I know you're MTF, but if you can pass as a man, then having a shaved head isn't as unusual. If that doesn't work for you, could you find a pretty hat to wear? Something like this, maybe.

I'm sorry you're having to be dealing with this though :(

I know how you feel Amy I've been losing my hair for years now.

Have you tried seeing a different doctor? There's nothing else I can think to suggest I'm afraid.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!
