Woah steady on girls! No-one mentioned anything that would criticise anyone for providing any information on this forum - far from it!! Certainly not me because that's also what I like to do!!
PSS. I don't have time to discuss these sort of thing, I want to help and be helped by people on this forum, if my posts have anything that might be an issue for you or anyone else, just report it to the Admin or maybe you could apply for moderator?
Exactly - as I do. However I do get a bit twitchy at the mention of any mention of pms and who is in touch with whom. I have been around a long time and without going into details things have happened in the past as a result of this, so it was nothing to do with the smoking thing per se, I just wanted to point out the general principle/protocol of not disclosing this sort of thing.
BeaR, I'm sure the moderators can step in if they consider it necessary, although I can't see why they would in this instance.
re the moderators - a few months ago Emma posted to say we were all moderators - every single one of us. In other words the forum is far too big for her to read all the posts and many things do not warrant reporting when we can point things out ourselves - to help each other in terms of how things work on the forum. OK?
I agree with that totally, Hurdity. 💜
I'm glad you agree Lola50!
Getting back to the thread - I had a very thick head of hair for most of my life but it is way way thinner now than it used to be - still have plenty but nothing compared to old times when younger. Thinning hair happens with age - which may be down to dramatic oestrogen decline, and testosterone too, and possible also the tipping of the balance in favour of T over oestrogen - ie T becoming more dominant while both hormones are declining. I don't think either oestrogen replacement nor Testosterone replacement fully compensates for this because we cannot hope to have the levels we had when fertile.
I did find a lot of articles about it - maybe I'll post them because I haven't done up until now. It will be very long so perhaps a separate thread if members would find it helpful...
