Hi All
As I sit on my new couch, watching my new husband sore his head off and as I numb my brain with some trash TV.... I know things could easily be worse for me. So don't get me wrong if I occasionally 'lose it'.... but I'll tell you what, hair loss, despite being physical, attacks your heart and soul. :(
While I find my hair everywhere (today, in paint, on the venetian blind and in my mango juice) internally I have the biggest struggle going on. But as they say 'better out than in'!
So here I am. Here is the A - Z of me, Milo:
A - Androgenic Alopecia
B - Biggest loser - addicted to the show!
C - Curly hair. Think Shirley Temple. Well used to be anyway!
D - Diagosed 6 months ago. Sudden onset.
E - Emotional, in private generally.
F - Frizz. A natural concealer he he he.
G - Green eyes, grey outer trim. 'Scary' according to my sister.
H - Hair loss - an absolutely gutting ecperience.
I - Itchy scalp - drives me MAD! Apparently a sign of AGA.
J - John Frieda hair products - Volumising Splendour.
K - Kangaroo & Koala. Hint: Where I am from they are native.
L - Latte - up to 3 daily. Full cream too. Like a happy Cat.
M - Medicine: Cyproterone Acetate. Tried Spiro recently. CAUSED HL.
N - No pets, just a husband... he he he.
O - Oral contraceptive pill - am convinced ending this triggered my AGA
P - Plumonary Embolism - Lungs, big bad blod clots. Caused by 'O' above.
Q - Question most things - especially doctor's advice!
R - Renovating! Gosh its so time consuming!
S - Scalp biopsy. Bloody, nasty and painful.
T - Toppik - using this daily. Think they should make a 'choc brown' colour!
U - Uncontrollable addiction to chocolate.
V - Vitamins - occasionally. Contemplating Saw Palmetto.
W - Wefts - Human Hair - I wear them when I straighten my hair.
X - Ok... too hard! :eek:
Y - Yo-yo. My HL journey so far - up and down!
Z - Zero children. Maybe in the next 1-2 years!
Ok. So thats it pretty much!
Just like the rest of you, I'm trying to figure it all out...
