Hormones, Chronic Fatigue, PCOS and Alopecia

Posted on May 6, 2015 at 8:32pm 0 Comments

About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS - Polycystic ovary syndrome.  About three and a half years before that I started losing my hair in patches and it resulted in total loss all over my head.  This happened twice within one year.  Prior to that I went off birth control and was hospitalized for a terrible staph infection.  All my life I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue which was flaring up during my alopecia outbreaks.

I'm still having fun! This summer has been a whirlwind of graduation, bachelorette parties and weddings. While I have had some hesitation about being in a lot of pictures with a quirky haircut and missing hair, the experience of enjoying my friends and my life has overpowered the hesitation and made me even more comfortable in my skin!

Here I am with my father after receiving my Masters in City and Regional Planning. He was rocking his "someone I <3 has alocepia" wrist band that…
