Hair loss again!

Hello I've not been on here for a long time. I have had my hair back and it got quite long so guess I was happy and didn't need the support. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in dec 2012 and have struggled since. Had 2 operations in less than a year and been I a couple of hormones and stopped them after suffering hair loss again. I have lost so much hair it's really thin now, I do wear a hair piece everyday now and just asked for a full real hair wig as I'm so worried it's going to come out… Continue

All coming out again :(

Well thats it my hair is definitely coming out now and im am so gutted this is happening again and i have only had about 7months of enjoying my hair being back. I cant cope with this at all and cannot accept this. People around me have no idea how i am feeling and some say i cope well, but im crumbling inside.

Found a spot :((

Well knew it wouldnt last long, I had a full head of regrowth since last year and it was back to being extremely thick and getting longer by the day and it felt amazing. I had 2 proper haircuts this year and my last was just yesterday, but i have found a little bald spot at the side of my head :( and my hair seems thinner at top. I am totally gutted and praying it is just a wee set back and it will not fully fall out. I havent coped well with my hairloss when it first fell out 3yrs ago and…

what to do?

Well it was happening again after 80% regrowth my hair is fallin out again, I am fed up and actually really depressed about it. I find it very hard now to talk about it and admit to people who dont know about my alopecia, I think people can change once they hear something like this. Not sure if i should seek counselling or just need to grow some balls and man up.

I hate synthetic wigs and as i get them from the nhs i asked if i could get a human hair wig as i can only get my natural colour… Continue
