I have horrid dreams about my hair falling out too!! And I walk around my house and find hair everywhere as well. The best is when I found it on my pet bunny. Get it? Hair on my hare. (it really wasn't that funny at the time).
Hi, I noticed on some one elses page you wrote that your husband doesn't seem to support you. Mine was the same way. He just idn't know how to react to my freaking out and claimed he couldn't see anything wrong. I printed ...
Hi Elga, I am a MA girl myself. From what I have researched, hormones are a crazy thing but many times treatable. Did your doctor give you any hope that if they lower your testosterone level is lowered that your hair will come back? ...
It is all I think about!! I went from outgoing and fun to a girl who is afraid to catch her reflection in the glass. I cry everyday. When I am out I am always comparing my head to other women.
About Me
About Me:
I don't even know anymore. I am about to be 28 years old, never considered myself to attractive and now my hair loss has become noticable to the world. I have nigthmares about it. I really can't cope with this. I am sorry I sound so negative, once upon a time I was a fun loving chic, I guess I am reaching out here. My doctor isn't much help and I don't know where to begin to fight this or if I should even bother. I am a good "listener" too, so please message me with advice or if you need to vent.
Hi EJ, I think you and I definitely should talk. I have similar symptoms to you that have the doctors baffled - numbness and tingling (vaying from "ooh, my _____ is asleep" to "ouch, who's poking me with pins) all over my body, dizziness (I thought I was going to pass out today when I stood up), and fatigue. B12 is "normal", but I'm taking massive B12 amounts, so who knows. I'm on iron (have been for 6 weeks, due to low ferritin), but the tingling comes and goes in vicious waves. I also have ear ringing. Have you noticed this?
None of the doctors seem to know what the hell all these symptoms mean in combination. They just tell me to take iron. Naturopath gave me "stress tablets". Thanks a ton.
Hi EJ!! I just wanted to say hello. I was reading our blogs and especially F*ck Doctors and you wrote that so well. I am so there and out of it. I just came back from my hair stylst and she now notice another F*ken bald spot on the other side of my head that is bald. I don't know what the hell this is all about. I just can't hang no more. :( I go for my 2nd detmologist appt. on Monday. The only thing I have going for me is that she is a womem doctor. Well I hang in there til Monday. I want you to know that reading your blogs really really helps me cuz there is someone out there in this world that knows how this feels
Thanks! Don't feel bad about not posting your bald pics. It is hard for me everytime I log on and see myself in that pic. I'm just trying to come to grips with this is who I am now.
Hi EJ!! Another MA girl awesome!! Out of all the doctors I have seen my endo was not so sympathetic he has me on spiro to stop the shedding or try to anyways. I went to my gyno who was wonderful and explained that I wanted off BC and the one I was on seemed to cause hair loss as a side effect. I was advised to stay on the BC and spiro at least until Sept when I go back to my endo. They both wanted me to get to a dermatologist so I went Friday and he was wonderful...Told me I had telogen effilium and that my hair shoudl come back..and he put me on biotin. (he also told me not to wash the hair often or brush it.) Now I cant stand looking at it..my roots are coming in and I have major thinning on my frontal...I really think hormones have a lot to do with it and my testosterone level is not too high but enough I guess. I got some comflicting info one says its hormones the other says its an infection that caused it...Now I am waiting. Thinking about getting some fake hair not sure how I am going to cover the thinning but hanging in there. How are you handling things? Are yo shedding?
EJ.....I realize that there are somethings out of my control but there are many things that I can accomplish. That is why I try to not let it get me down (sometimes it does!!! :( !!). I try to concentrate on living life. Most of our sadness is often about what other people think. I am trying to no longer care. One thing that has helped me is to focus on what I want out of life. I created a "bucket-list" that I call the "A" list. This is a list of things I have always wanted to do that I have put off due to time or some other excuse. This is how I found some of these strange activities that I do!!! I add to the list daily! Try it! Hugs...Anisa
Hey, EJ. I'm just checking in to say hi. How are things right now? My hair shedding is crazy, awful. It just sucks right now. I cry every day. What is THAT?? Anyway, the good news is that I'm meeting a new therapist today. She sounds like a cool chick. I just wanted to see how things are going for you. Take care, Lisa
hi ej, i only rinse my hair with acv, not egg. i mix egg into the shampoo recipe, and in a yogurt/egg conditioner recipe. but i never use it by itself or as a rinse. hope you try experimenting! it definitely makes hair softer, maybe stronger too.....i think its less prone to breakage.
