Final-for now post: minoxidil. The PA suggested it at my first appointment, & last time I was there she mentioned I could still go ahead & start using it if I want.

I have Mixed Feelings about minoxidil, especially because it's so dangerous to pets, so I haven't made up my mind about it yet. But it might be my only realistic hope for actually regrowing some hair (as opposed to "merely" preventing further loss & scarring.)

Wait, I lied. One more post so I can append a bunch of maybe-relevant hashtags to this little thread on the off chance it's of interest to anyone else out there. Ahem:

#HairLoss #alopecia #balding #minoxidil #Rogaine #FemaleHairLoss #ThinningHair #PersonalExperience #LichenPlanopilaris
#FrontalFibrosingAlopecia

I don't know how good an idea this is; several of those hashtags, to the extent that they seem to be in use, appear to be most heavily associated with folks selling stuff. Hm.
