Asked By:AngrySam in Frankfurt, DE

Previously no signs of thinning or balding. In June this year had a serious very bad disc herniation. Spent 2 months confined to bed with terrible sciatic pain. Lots of pain meds including Epidural spinal injection. Injury recovered I started taking a herbal vitality supplement from August to improve energy \ libido which was also supposed to raise testosterone. Late September noticed huge hair shedding and within a week or 2 large bald spot emerged on front right of hair line and around crown.
