My partner lost his hair in his 20s... you 2 sound exactly alike with symptoms... except he took anabolic steroids when he was body building and I can't get him to look through your posts to see how he can fix himself because he doesnt care. Ironically, his dad also lost his hair young too, but after he had a heart attack at 37, it wasn't a regular heart attack.. he was born without a major vessel and never knew... and his body build a bunch of tiny bypass vessels.. but anyway, after that happened and he changed his diet and paid more attention to his health, his hair all grew back in his 40s. Hes in his 60s now and is probably in better shape than his son, who just turned 40. So, I don't think you guys are doomed forever... What's important is that you're trying to fix it.
