Ughh totally frustrated!
Hello Friends,
Sorry I have not been able to check in for a while..I have been busy with life trying to figure things out and make sense of things..So I am guessing I had a good run for about 3 months where my hair did not fall out and now it is back to its ugly self...My hair is starting to fall out again..Seems like it may either be in the same area or damn near close to that area. I now have 3 new small bald spots instead of just the one I had...I also now discovered that I have arthritis in my jaw and it hurts ridiculously, if having the loss of hair at the age of 29 isn't bad enough, now I have arthritis in my jaw..It seems as though I can't catch a break..Just venting..I hope you are all doing well..

Hi Paul, How are you? I can't catch a break, Paul :(...There are meds to take some being anti inflammatory, such as ibuprofen and NSAIDS, but I dont and can't take them on a daily basis, its actually scarey...I also do not wanna take anything stronger like opiates or anything because they are addictive...This totally sucks..Trying to go the alternative palliative care way..Hot compresses and jaw exercises...

Can you take a pill call Mobic - my doc gives it to me as I am highly allergic to opiates - it will upset your stomach if you do not eat with it but it works even on a migraine.

I can surely look into Lily...Thank you..

Check with the dentist to see if you have TMJ. Also, I have arthritis in my knee: MSM or glucosamine seem to work well for this.

Hi Sinsemilla, Thank you so very much. Can you get this supplement at any pharmacy? Yes, I know how detrimental they are to your liver and it is one of the reasons I was choosing to go the alternative method..
Hi Tallgirl, I do in fact have TMJ and narrowing in my left Temporomandibular joint anteriorly..I have also read about glucosamine helping..I will try this..Thank you..

I take Mobic like LilyBell above and it works wonders - it's for my atypical ankle sprain (leave it to me to not get a "normal" ankle sprain). But, as far as your hair goes...I know how it is to have regrowth and then see it fall out again. I ended up shaving mine when the spots got too big to hide. And I stopped counting the spots after 6..now there's probably oh who knows, 20 or so and many are melding together. Quite a pattern on my head I've got going! I know it's frustrating...but hang in there. I know the feeling of not being able to catch a break, but at some point it gets so ridiculous you have to throw your hands in the air and just let it go. :)
