About Me:

I am a 29 year old female born and raised in good ol' mass. I was just recently diagnosed with a condition called partial adrenal hyperplasia. Although this is an inherited disease I was born with and have been experiencing symptoms from for years I was only diagnosed 2 months ago (after years of seemingly unrelated trips to many different doctors)...My hair loss became noticable around my 28th birthday and has been very rapid and very severe. It has been extremely scary, but it is also the reason for my diagnosis, so for that I am grateful. When I 1st started losing my hair I thought a youngish female going bald was the worst feeling in the world; I felt helpless, desperate, very alone and shallow...since being diagnosed I now realize that it was knowing something was drastically wrong with my body but not knowing what and having complaints fall upon deaf ears that was scaring the heck out of me. Years of insomnia, constant bizarre infections, rashes, bloody noses, extreme fatigue, loss of menstruation, weight changes, anxiety/depression, memory loss, irritability, dizziness and a compromised immune system.... and hair loss solved the problem. Many women would do anything for their hair, but my hair did something unmeasurable for me, and for that I will always love it.
