dear E.,
i am 50 and have also been going thru the thinning thing. you are so right about the embarassment. i too looked to my mama source friends for advice. what the majority told me was to go see my doctor. i too had not been to a doctor for almost 7 years,( shame on me). i went, and had bloodwork done. i have hyperthyroid disease. i put out too much hormones and that causes my hair to fall out. my doc put me on meds and said within afew months i should see some improvement. i now have something to look forward to. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!! YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER, I DID.
