What's wrong with me? I'm a 14 year old with many symptoms that need an explanation.?

I'm 24 and apparently going through it according to my dermatologist and have been since about July 2011. In Sept when I saw him he said it would last about 3 more months then I should start to see the loss slowing down. I have seen the loss slow since late dec (went from about 150 to 70 daily w/ shower), however I'm not seeing much regrowth? Is that because it's too soon? My hair is growing in length but I don't see much filled in where the loss is significant. I see a few scraggly new hairs but I still see where the loss was/is. My derm said its not female patten baldness and I've been tested for deficiencies, lupus, thyroid problems...pretty much all came back normal. I did lose my mom to cancer but that was in mid 2010 and I noticed the loss in July 2011. I can get pretty stressed out at times. But does this sound temporary? Are my doctors right? It's just discouraging when you see it slow down but not enough of a sign of regrowth (hopefully) yet. How long did it take for you to see regrowth enough to fill in enough to make a difference if you have experienced this? Are the signs of it slowing down an indicator that it is temporary and will grow back fully?

Yes.

"thyroid problems...pretty much all came back normal" Dont count on it ... it is missed more than found. You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)…main cause of eventual HypOthyroidism & is worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid). WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes. Ck bless
