For several weeks I would notice lots of hair in the shower. After about one week, I decided that something was going on. The second week, I went to wash my hair and spotted myself in the shaving mirror with areas of skin showing. After I got out of the shower, I went to big mirror and checked it out. After looking and doing some thinking ,I decided that I was a product of ALIEN ABDUCTION. My hair loss reminded me of something like a metal ring being put around my hair line and about 2 inches around my head. Now, keep in mind all the hair on the outside covered up all the hairloss. So at this point no one sees it. I stated to my husband about my hair after he was complaining about all the hair in the shower and it getting clogged. I started saving it. I made an appointment to see reg doctor who sent me to see dermatologist. Then while waiting for derm appt. I decided that I was having an allergic reaction to water. It is the only time my hair falls out. I don't see anything on bed or floor or when I brush my hair. So here I sit, running thoughts of aliens and never bathing again. Wonderful!!!
I don't know about the majority of you, but once the doctor told me what he thought I had I felt like the max truck had finally driven off my body. I was so glad to know this is something that I can deal with . Now to figure it all out.
He did give me RX for Clobex. So far I have seen growth, I think....across the hairline but nothing on the sides. I am not too concerned about it coming or going but how to deal with the reactions I get from family and friends. The impression I get from my family is they must really think I am VAIN. I am not fussing but venting. I do think I have pretty eyes..but they act like I should be loosing my mind about this. Has anyone out there just took it in stride? Anyway, glad there is place for me to blog about this. I guess the other part that is so confusing for me is that I have lost thigh, calf, and now have started loosing arm pit hair. Is this part of AA? somethings I read state one thing other state another. Or do I really not worry about it? I guess not worrying about it would be best.
Thanks for letting me blog.
