About Me
About Me:
I am Lauren. A vivacious, 29 year old, relatively healthy young woman. Single, no kids. No past health problems that I know off... everyone in my family is still alive and well. Including grandparents. Last Oct I noticed what seemed to be slight breakage/thinning of the the frontal hairline where I part ... funny how I noticed. Thought nothing of it, and continued living my life, with a little increase in shedding and breakage. I visited my hair dresser in which she pointed out severe breakage throughout my entire scalp, mainly focused on the outer layer of my hair where it was most noticable. She was concerned because I don't dye, blowdry or process my beautiful long straight shiny brown hair. So we decided to cut some blunt bangs to hide the receading hairline. I loved it. I went on living, until about April of this year when I took great concern on how much I was now losing, as well my nails were snapping which is something that never happened before. I would run my fingers through my hair, and lose 40-60 hairs (yes I am obsessed) just by touch, gentle touch... I would place them on my pillow in the morning and just stare and cry. I went to the Dr's in which they took blood for Thyroid, DHT, WBC, CBC, B12, Iron and Ferritin. All came back normal except Ferritin. I was at 17, 10 being critical, 40 being where a woman should be. I was put on liquid Iron. I started taking it with no problem, increased my vitamins, and changed my diet to a healthy 100% flip. a month later, I went again, still complaining. They took all the same tests and again, everything was fine but Iron. I continued the Iron. 2 Months into it, I went back yet again, more tests - all fine. Cept Ferritin. Now at 25. But no signs of slowing down, I almost want to say some days I feel like its increasing.
Its now been 20 weeks, and I am still on Iron, still losing my hair - and more scared and depressed than ever. I do not wash my hair more than twice a week (at that) .... When I do, I watch the hairs float in the tub, or stick to my entire body - there is hair everywhere in my house. Places I would have never even noticed. I do not blowdry or comb my hair ... WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO COMB IT .. been months. I used to wash my hair daily. Now I am a dirty, unattractive, self loathing fool. I wear hats to work all week, and come home and put it up in a bun, so when I lie down I don't have to hear the 'clicking' of the hair coming out of my head ... I can't even tell now if its falling or breaking .. cause they hardly ever have 'White Bulbs'. Now I have developed a crust on my scalp, from lack of washing, which I am sure doesn't help me. I have receaded about an inch back from where my hairline used to be .. and those pores are now starting to show tiny hairs. Back in Oct '07, when I first noticed it at the front, I shaved that part cause I looked like a dink with all these broken hairs ... those hairs are now a few inches long - so they hair IS growing back, hense the Dr's 'Diagnoses' on it NOT being hormonal (Male Pattern). He also said if my Iron is increasing, then my hair should be stopping ... so its probably NOT iron - F*** him, I still have hope.
I am 150% consumed with it, I don't sleep, or go out like I used too ... I have NO social life, I wish I knew what it was like to kiss a man again ... I watch 100's of people compliment me on my pictures on FB .. and think to myself .. I don't look like that anymore. I am not as attactive as I used to be, I know that - its ok, I want to tell myself if this is the worst thing - then so be it - but so far in my life this IS the worst thing. I spend hrs on hrs looking at diagnoses on the Internet, contacted Trichologists in the Uk ( I am in Canada) - cause we have none near me ... with no answers. The Dr's are no longer concerned .. and will do no more tests. I just want answers, reasons, anything. I have lost such a part of me, my job is suffering, my family and friends are burdened,,, I am lonely ... and everyone blows it off as nothing. I JUST WANT ANSWERS !!!!!!!
I am so sick of hearing "I Have low Iron" and my hair doesn't fall out ... no one - NO ONE I know that has low iron has hair problems. Last 6 months I don't see faces, I only see heads - and NO ONE has hair like mine, NO ONE... and the ones that I do see with thinning hair - have a different pattern that I ... what if somthing is serious wrong with me ??? What if its nothing serious, but its not being treated so it will NEVER stop. This is what I go thru daily and it feels good to say it out loud. I am so scared. I lost my life when I started losing my hair.. I want my life back. It WILL not change unless my hair does. I am not strong enough for this !! Thank you all so much for allowing me to be a part of this, I hope we can all help each other.
Im seriously thinking of going into my local town, there is a shop there that sells cheap clip on hair, the only thing with that is i will have to colour my hair for it to look more natural which i have been avoiding doing like the plague, (as you can probably see from the pictures im getting more grey hairs) i hate colouring my hair now because my hair seems to get so soft and then it looks even thinner, conditioner is the devil to me now!!! I wont put it anywhere near my hair, even though the professionals all say a good conditioner is vital to keeping your hair in good condition, i havent used it for about 7 months now. My friend goes to this store and she used their clip in hair systems when she is going somewhere nice and puts up her hair. I cant remember the last time i wore my hair in a ponytail, it looks too ridiculous! xx
Good girl, im glad you are chilling out, its so good for you to do that once in a while. Ive not been upto much really, just the usual, haydens not been well this week so been trying to stay in with him, its cold here so i dont want to take him outside for longer than i have to, so been a bit bored this week really. I did go to bed just after 10pm but couldnt sleep so i molested the husband for a bit then got back up and crept on here!! hehehe. Ive posted some new pictures of my hair today and ive just been looking at yours aswell, we seem to have the same hairloss!! We are the hairloss twins!!! xx
Hiya hun, how are you? Are you enjoying your vacation? I hope you are having very lazy days and doing very little, thats what a vacation is all about for me!! Not that i get a chance!! xx
Stunning!!! Love your profile pic :) How have you been? I saw a post about trichologist. My doc told me it's going to take a year to get an app. Does this guy take new patients? Do I need a referral? Thanks!
Oh you make me laugh!! I agree about the Jason - I use it every 10 days or so, though, cause it does make my scalp feel clean. We can do a deal at the border. :)I'm happy the oil of oregano is having some benefit - just don't disappear!! On the Spiro, I have to watch my potassium and sodium intake, so I've had to cut back on my 2 favorite food groups, chocolate and Doritos. I'm down to 90 lbs and I'm thrilled . If it helps with my hair - I'll be in Heaven. I'm gonna look for the Candida test - did you just find it at a drugstore?
Morning Lauren!! Oil of Oregano - what are you taking it for? And is it helping?? Also - I looked at your pics, your hair/scalp looks just like mine. Once again I'm thankful for the waves (that I hated till 2 years ago), because they help cover the thinnest spots a bit. Also - have you used the Jason shampoo yet? What do you think? Lots of questions!!!! Have a good day, kiddo. V.
