And they are prescribing me medicines that are costing me money (general statement) and it didn't start until I had the vaccine. But they said outgoing the risk, so I am waiting. They said that they didn't have that many people that had hair loss and the ones they did their hair grow back but my hair was not growing back.

I just control it with my diet, I guess its called pre-diabetes, pre-diabetes I guess. For treatment: Patient stated I am seeing a dermatologist and my medical doctor. I am using a shampoo that they prescribed and its called ketoconazole, shampoo for my scalp and I am taking, and I took vitamins (Unspecified medication) that I got over the counter thats for hair skin and nails but I am not talking that anymore because it's not helping.
