- About Me:
- I'm a 30 year old female that was just diagnosed with Chronic Telogen Effluvium. I also suffer from Trichodynia which is the medical term for severe scalp pain. I don't know why I fell victim to either of these. I have lost about 40% of my hair and it has been very depressing and life changing. The pain may be the worst part of it all. It hurts to touch my head, shower, comb it, etc... I never experienced anything like it before.
I also have battled eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia) for 18 years now. I am unsure as are the doctors whether or not it contributed to all this. I also suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I never thought anything could be worse than an eating disorder, but I may have been mistaken.
I just need a break from constantly being sick and fighting to find peace within myself and my body. - Do you have alopecia?
- Telogen effluvium
- Are you age 18 or older?
- Yes - I am 18 or older
