Hello Jennah, I'm in that same boat rowing with you.... seems like it's not even in water! I've not been 'diagnosed' with anything and am so tired of being on drugs. This all came about last year about this time with bumps on my scalp and soreness. I did so many head soaks, tried natural shampoos, ordered Ovation cell therapy, (only a few things amongst so many). My hair used to be so wonderful, curly, thick, and long my whole life... now it's half of what it used to be. Like you, I'm extremely self conscious of where people are looking when talking to me.... and I fear that I'll never be wanted by anyone (relationship-wise)or won't be able to socialize or get a job normally any longer. Now, I deal with a burning, sensative scalp and hair loss... in the front and especially on the crown... Boy, this is not easy is it. It's hard to tell people what is going on, and even when you do, they can't really 'understand'... some think it's all in my head. From hormone-related medication (progesterone, spironolactone) to antibiotics and antivirals, nothing seems to help. I'm reaching the boiling point where I want to shave off the remainder so it's not so depressing seeing it fall out. Not sure about you, but all this is hard to afford... especially the naturopaths' products and visits. Good luck to you, sorry for the long note... as you know, it's on the mind constantly! Take care of yourself!! -Sarah K.

Hi Jennah! Thanks for the friend request an welcome to AW. Love your profile pic! :)

hey Jennah! Sorry I missed on the chat...I left myself logged in when I left work last night. I forgot. I was off to my hair lady to show her the topper I bought. I had to get there in 1/2 hour and she is on the other side of town. Traffic is crazy this time of year. ;-)
