I'm not sure where to start with this. It could have been forever or it could have happened after I had my son it could have happened when I dyed my hair (doubtful) it could have been anything...I first started seeing hair loss when I was in my second trimester just spots at first. When I found them I had just dyed my hair, but I could have had them before and never noticed...went to the derm got a chemical profile and cream it a lot more fell out but some started coming back so whatever doc said my blood test was normal. Had a beautiful baby boy after I stopped breast feeding I started losing hair like crazy, my head hurt I lost tons of hair on the pillow, I lost all my hair in the matter of a month I had to shave my head it was so painful.
I started wearing wigs, it all happened so fast I think I as in shock or something.
I remember staring at myself thinking at least it's not my eyebrows.
Then my eyebrows started falling out.
At least it's not my eyelashes.
Then they started thinning... I still have some but they are not the same.
At least it's not lupus...
Or so we thought.., after seeing an endocrinologist and my numbers coming back irregular for only the lupus test I'm being sent to yet another doctor and that's where I'm at now.
Sometimes I feel like its the end of the world
And sometimes I feel like its an honor, I'm give a blank slate I can be whatever I want to be on any given day, and I Love wearing wigs but I just wish sometimes it wasn't so hard to feel beautiful and natural.
I forgot to mention I have no body hair but that's because I'm grateful for that!
