Relationship Status:: Married
About Me:: After having been wrongly diagnosed with telogen effluvium early August 2012, my hair, which I hadn't lost completely then, grew again and within a week end November I lost it all ... I started wearing a wig early December but have the feeling I might stop wearing it in the summer (to go out). As soon as I get home I take it out, wear a turban (English word ?) or nothing at all, because it itches.
I also have Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Back again Aug 2013, made my 'coming out' at the end of June, haven't worn a wig during the summer, maybe once or twice on special occasions, feel great without one unfortunately the cold will be back and I'll need sthg, I think I might invest in even more turbans ;. People around me think I'm very brave, I don't just think i'm as positive as possible, haven't got a choice have I ? I don't think I would have ever shaved my hair but it's gone so if I have to live with it, I'd better get on.

Stress was definitely the trigger but since I've still got so many problems I don't think it's gonna grow back soon especially since I have AU.

So cheer up all of you, we aren't only hair.
