<p>Thanks for your response. I was in a low place when I decided to type this one up. I tried eating better...gluten and dairy free... it's hard! I lasted about a week. Trying to get back into it. Not a lot of options to go grab lunch that fit that. My bf read up about taking Zyrtec daily in case it's an allergy to something... trying that.... no difference yet. I ended up shaving my head again because I was watching too much hair go down the drain in the shower. That's the saddest for me...…</p>

We will see what the future holds! I'm sorry to hear your thyroid is all crazy... that's got to be the worst. I try reading the books too, but can't stick to it. My thoughts are if I can realize I want my hair bad enough, I can put the focus and attention into the literature and the diets. Until then, I'm only holding myself back. </p> August marked 1 year since I…tag:alopeciaworld.com,2016-09-01:2022678:Comment:13366052016-09-01T13:05:21.602Zrmoorehttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/rmoore
<p>August marked 1 year since I found my first bald spot. Since then I've lost just about all my hair except for a cross shaped spot on the back of my head. I'm 55! My immune system is attacking my thyroid too. I've since been diagnosed with Hashimotos. Dr.s don't know what to do with me because I don't fit their "mold" for medical protocol. So, I've taken it upon myself to get healthy. I've been GF for a year now and feel so much better. I don't think I have celiacs but I do have…</p>
<p>August marked 1 year since I found my first bald spot. Since then I've lost just about all my hair except for a cross shaped spot on the back of my head. I'm 55! My immune system is attacking my thyroid too. I've since been diagnosed with Hashimotos. Dr.s don't know what to do with me because I don't fit their "mold" for medical protocol. So, I've taken it upon myself to get healthy. I've been GF for a year now and feel so much better. I don't think I have celiacs but I do have intolerance...bloating, gas, discomfort. (bummer because I love beer! LOL) Anyway, there's a book I read by Sarah Ballantyne, PHD on autoimmune disease. It's super scientific and I skipped over some of that but she's researched and has a paleo protocol for autoimmune. I've been following it not super strictly but I will say I feel amazing. Better than I've felt in years. More energy, my skin is clear for the first time in years too. Anyway, I can feel your pain with good days and bad days. I teach computer lab and gym class. I absolutely die with my wig on outside in the summer. I totally admire women who can go bald and beautiful but I'm not quite there yet. I have hair in my dreams.</p>
<p>Good luck to you too. You are beautiful and smart and you are not alone.</p>
