Thank you! Did you lose hair anywhere else?
I didn't, just around the side and back of my hair... I was able to just cut that real low and have a little more in the top.. if you look at my pic I've always had a right below the ear hair length, now my ears are out and I don't have any hang time.
I have hair loss as well, I try to hide as much as I can but if you fin any good tips please share my way. Thanks,
Erica
Bottom line is that it sucks, and it doesn't make it better that society places such emphasis on looks & etc.! Before I was even diagnosed, my hair started falling out, (everytime I'd wash my hair in the shower, I felt huge chunks slipping down my legs into the drain, then my mom & my hairdresser started to see it, now it's full blown falling out each chance it gets. I started to develop a exzema type rash at the back of my head, not sure if its from Lupus or etc. , I used to cry and not know what was wrong with me. Now that I know, I can accept it and not dote on it so much. My wigs are a lifesaver, you trick people into knowing that you have nice luscious hair! :D Just be yourself and do whats right for you ! :D
.Hi greensurfer… I had the same problem with my hair… I was diagnose on 2009 and on 2010 my hair was falling out on chunks I even had bald spots…everytime I woke up it was a lot of my hair in the pillow, on the shower, in my car, my hair was everywhere…it was very depressing for me because I had such long pretty thick black hair and within a few months 75% of my hair was gone…so I decided to donate my hair to the cancer kids"(locks of love") and I cut it shoulder length and I told my Dr about my hair and he gave me new meds and told me to try Leucovorin10mg and it helped my hair started to grow back and it’s to my waist line now…I hope your hair starts growing back soon…oh by the way sometimes when your new hair grows it might come out with a different texture… mine did …I have natural straight hair and my new hair came out curly…you can keep it on a ponytail until it grows back so you don’t have to continue to buy expensive hair extensions or wigs…that’s what I did till it got long…
Hi Dunnia,
Great info mate but i've strictley given up, the amount of times i've tried lol but if the Leucovorin10mg can help other members all the better :)
