Rejection from men anyone?

My boyfriend left me after I woke up one morning with severe scalp pain followed by about 30% loss of hair. Since then I went on another date and told him what happened and needless to say I never heard back. My hair loss has slowed down and still no diagnosis to why I have this debilitating pain every day. Has anyone experienced relationship problems from not only the opposite sex but even your friends? It's so sad how judgmental people are. My hair loss has slowed and until we get a diagnosis, they said it could be Burning Scalp Syndrome. I was also told by several doctors that it is "all in my head". How frustrating! I just don't know when this will go away or if I'm on the road to something more severe. I guess time will tell!

Thank you Caroline! I actually was referred to the pain clinic and they are going to give me what's called an Occiptal Nerve Block. It will numb my whole scalp so that I don't feel the pain. The pain is very intense and I can't go outside in the cold without it feeling like knives in my head. I can't put anything on my head or move my hair because when my hair moves it must stimulate the nerves too much. I hope it works and I will be able to function more normally. I lost close to 30-40% of my hair so far... I don't know how much I will lose or if it will grow back. The seb derm is very bad as well. I think that creates a lot of pain from the inflammation. I just want to go back to 10 months ago when I was happy! It's definitely an ongoing process of acceptance and learning to love yourself for WHO you are and not what your appearance is... I must say that everyone on here is SO beautiful hair or NO hair. If it comes to that then I have great support from everyone on here! As for the rejection from men...it still is annoying but right now I am focusing on myself and dealing with my ongoing health issues... HUGS!

Embrace it, love will prevail! What's really in a person's heart will surface and this guy was super shallow! Take love where it comes from and be PROUD girl! YOU WERE ALREADY A SUPERSTAR WHEN YOU WERE BORN!!!! Ask me how I knew that? Your parents told me! SMILES AND LOVE!
