I am having such a hard time not freaking out about my hair. I don't think I have been this scared in all of treatment. My hair is just falling out in the front but it is so bad. It is not really breaking off but it just fell out and it is gone. I know Matia says it will grow back but I really do wonder. It is starting to get very noticable. I am wondering if I should get hair extentions in the front and then cut bangs. I have started eating so many vegtables and a wide variety to get as many nutrients in as I can. I am freaking out! It is so crazy to me that it is happening. Two weeks ago it was perfectly fine and healthy. I just started dating someone new or I don't think I would be letting it affect me so much. Does anyone have any suggestions for hiding it until the new hair comes back?? :( Any suggestions are helpful!
extensions
Oooh girl. No no no. They are SO hard to keep up with--and ITCHY. (I had them after college, heh). I'm having some of this too. I'm just gonna get bangs to cover it.
Thank you everyone for your
Thank you everyone for your wonderful thoughtful responses. Deir I agree, there are some symptoms of this disease that are significantly worse than the pain itself. I also agree with the hair extensions; I don't think they are the best idea. I am afraid they will weight my other hair and pull it out also. I am going to stay strong and eat my veggies. :) Maybe cut some bangs, that is a good idea. With Christmas coming up I think of everyone on this website as my family. There is no other group of individuals that I can talk to about hair loss at 24 years old and they will understand! haha. It is crazy to me how many different symptoms everyone experiences during this process. I am so happy I have you guys to talk to :) Reading positive posts of success makes me motivated to stick with it and keep on track. It is nice knowing there is an symptom free ending :) I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!
