In February 2020, I felt it! I felt something was off with my body. I noticed my skin was itchy but I passed it off to the dry Arizona air & heat. I had high anxiety & was experiencing extreme insomnia. I passed it off to “I was working hard for my dreams.”⁣ ⁣ In March 2020, the itching was constant and moving to other parts of my body. I had raised-red areas on folds of my skin. I was treating with OTC creams bc my primary care physician wasn’t taking appointments due to COVID. ⁣ ⁣ In April 2020, The spots started to burn and I was noticing excessive dandruff in my scalp. I had enough and pleaded for a tele-med appointment with my primary care physician. I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and prescribed more creams and oral medication.⁣ ⁣ Between May 2020-June 2020, I went back and front with more appointments with the primary care physician, immediate care, and a physician assistant. At this point my hair was becoming brittle and breaking off. I could barely comb through it.⁣ ⁣ In July 2020, I seen a dermatologist. I was experiencing bald spots in the front of my hairline and the spots on my skin were growing and multiplying. I was given more creams and advised that blood work & a punch biopsy may be necessary if symptoms did not improve.⁣ ⁣ In August 2020, symptoms did not improve. I had extensive bloodwork & the punch biopsy done. Results showed no fungus, bacteria or anything else. The dermatologist took an educated guess that I was suffering from an autoimmune disorder and slapped Alopecia Areata due to stress on me.⁣ ⁣ In September 2020, I seen a naturopathic physician that believed I have leaky gut and placed me on several supplements and advised me to remove sugar and alcohol from my diet. ⁣ ⁣ As I sit here writing this today, still no improvement but I am managing it. The symptoms are not worsening, thank God. And as I reflect on that timeline, I gotta say I am thankful for this journey. I know that sounds crazy but my hair loss has allowed me to be grateful for so much! My hair loss has allowed me to slow down. My hair loss has allowed me to understand what really matters. My hair loss has allowed me to (Check comments for the rest.)
