hi there.
I dont really know how to start this new topic so I will just start with what has happened:
Last week on Tuesday i think it was my husband noticed that one side of my hair was thinning. I didnt really think anything of it until the day after I was at work and a colleuge noticed the small bald patch got worse.I went home that day to check my hair to notice it had got worse not only that but I have two 10pence pieces of bald patches gone from the back of my hair...the following few days the front of my hair rapidly got worse and worse until I was almost bald on one side.
I then went to see my GP obviously worried He was no good to me and just said it was alopecia refered me to a skin specialist took blood tests and gave me ointment. he didnt say why it happened when I asked if I was going to go bald he just laughed at me!!I have since stopped the ointment as it burnt my head and made me worse!!
The next day my husband cut my hair into a bob look so that I wouldnt keep finding long bits oh hair when I woke up...In the end it all got too much and we just shaved my hiar off (although the dr said not to)But it got to the point I was almost bald already.
ever since then my hair tries to grow back but as soon as it does it just breaks off again I am also losing hair in different places of my head other than the previous bald patches.right this secong I look like I have a mohekan (sp?)
It is making me very very down and emotional. They think it maybe due to stress as I have not had a good year but also had a kind of year as I got married in august.
Is it normal to feel so down and emotional... I am only 21 and the thought that I may never have hair upsets me a lot.
My nurse has now given me four weeks off sick from work.
Any advice would really be appreciated I just want to chat with people who know what I am really going through.
Thankyou Jade x
I had my blood tests last thursday so they should be back any day now
