Alopecia area FU!
When I was 19, basically the moment I finished school, I suddenly started getting bald spots.
Six months later, I shaved my head and wore my first wig.
After countless doctor’s appointments, I finally received the diagnosis of Alopecia areata a year later.
What followed were, of course, endless doctor visits, alternative medicine, naturopaths, psychosomatic treatment attempts, etc.
I spent thousands of dollars. Not counting the freaking wig expenses.
The next seven years were sometimes better, sometimes worse, sometimes absolutely terrible with my eyebrows and eyelashes affected, sometimes with almost shoulder-length hair. but always to the point where I had to wear a wig.
Then there were about four years of complete stagnation. Equally bad. Bald. But at least I still had my eyebrows and eyelashes.
And then I got pregnant. And almost like magic, I suddenly had really full, strong, almost black hair again.
And then - my baby was 3 months old and BAM, this nightmare started all over again.
Now I’m 30, bald again, and to top it all off, I barely have any eyelashes left. I honestly can’t take this anymore.
Nothing seems to help me. I’m mad as fuckx.
F u alopecia.
