Hi everyone- I’ve got thick, lustrous hair. Always have and THOUGHT I always would. I recently (some time in the last 7 weeks) developed a patch of alopecia areata. About the size of a 20c piece/a quarter etc.
Now- I know the world is falling apart but I haven’t really been THAT affected. I mean, life has changed.. I spend more time at home. But I’m still working (where I see people and have social interaction etc), I’m not financially stressed, I’m pretty okay and I don’t really have any fear around how this is all playing out. And yet... apparently this is often due to “severe stress”... diet wise, I’ve had a bit more time to prep food and get in my liver, seafoods, etc etc. I thought I was doing okay actually..
I’ve definitely read through a few parts on the forum about baldness.. some people have asked about alopecia areata and they’ve been directed to Danny’s book.. but it seems to refer to male/female pattern baldness.. is this what is happening to me? It doesn’t feel like the same thing but maybe??
Can anyone shed light on if there’s a difference?
I take progest-e daily and I also take aspirin fairly frequently. Other than that I take energin and MG sporadically- I wish I remembered more often!
Many thanks.
