Q: Hair Loss! Anemia! Thyroid! Please Help!

Hello, I am a 22 year old female and I really hope someone can help me with these issues, I have recently started to experience hair loss and shedding and my doctor said I should use 5% rogaine for men, I hear it gives facial hair also, I am worried and do not want that, I am hoping someone that has used it or know someone that has used it can tell me their story please.

I am also curious if any women have thyroid problems or anemia, please give me details

please help, thanks

From my understanding, minoxidil (rogaine) only works where you apply it to, so you don't have to worry about facial hair. I don't have much experience with thyroid problems and such though.
