Fear of Hairloss

It has been a crazy month since I went back to work in early Oct.  Things and issues just cropped up continuously.  While I tried to take things easy, it could be tiring at times and I also did not get enough rest.  Blogging has take a back seat for a moment. 

Doc increased my Azathioprine dosage to 100mg while he reduced my prednisolone gradually.  But then, not sure whether it was lupus flare due to stress (dealing with issues and office politics!!!) or not enough rest or due to increased dosage of azathioprine, I started to experience severe hair loss in the last 2-3 weeks.  For a person who have thick hair, watching your hair thinning at an alarming rate was not pleasant.  I told my hubby and kid that it was depressing to know that I might get bald patches in the near future.  But then, it was a case of no choice given my medical condition.  Doc advised that I should continue with the medication and the hair would grow back when the recent active lupus was better under control.....   Anyway, got to focus on what I have and not what I have lost.  So meanwhile am on active lookout for a nice wig.....:)).

  1. Lupus and Meds does crazy things to your hair.
    One time I was losing hair ... (almost botak) - hated what I see in the mirror... (I have thin, fine hair)

    Then "BOOM" (after IV prednisolone) my hair grew back curly and thick!!!

    Remember to keep stress under control. I know it is difficult when you are working (+ office politics) ... ALWAYS remember, when you are tired - leave and rest. At the end of the day, only you and your family matters, not work!

  5. ARE YOU AWARE THAT MODERN NATURAL HERBAL MEDICINES OF THIS GENERATION NOW PERMANENTLY CURE DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES LIKE; HSV/HERPES, CANCERS, HIV/AIDS, ERECTILE DISJUNCTION/ IMPOTENCY, DIABETES FOREVER WITHOUT A POSSIBLE COME BACK OR AFTER EFFECTS?
    It wonderfully worked for me;
    At first I was a bit skeptical about this Natural cure for herpes and other similar medicines. Discovering people with similar symptoms who are treated and cured by Dr Utu both on medias and in social medias on daily basis motivated me, so I contacted him for help!
    At first, I was a bit curious about this possible cure, but! I don't want to be left out without giving it a trial, so I contacted him as well.
    Some hours later he replied me, then he asked me some private questions, of which I honestly answered, I told him how I have lived and suffered with this disease and how much I will do anything to get rid of it. He assured me of total cure after taking his herbal medicines. It was even more easier than I expected. Also I never even imagined to get my parcels within five working days, but to my greatest surprise my parcels was brought to my doorstep by the end of the second day. I collected the parcel which I followed all the instructions as he had directed. Just as I was told "four weeks medication " my medicine finished in four weeks exactly. From week one of my medication I started noticing positive change in health. and in week two I could tell much more differences and I was so eager to even testify of life again in me.
    I patiently continue medication till the last bottle which was then week four. I was the first person the next day in the clinic for lab test. Not even a particle of herpes was found in my system when I collected my result. Knowing I'm now herpes negative at this point I proceeded to inform my doctor, he doubted me, that day he gave me a month appointment to be closely monitored. It's my health so I waited more six Months and again i went for 'lab test' in a different clinical lab.
    This time the result was still the same as the previous one. Also since this year I have been living my normal life and am still herpes free no symptoms and even till now no cold sore or outbreak. As a result of this herbal cure in my life and my family at large, I can boast of doctors today who through me, now uses African Traditional Roots and Herbs to TREAT AND CURE patients that are, CANCERS, HERPES, PARALYSIS, and HIV successfully today. Many are still ignorant of this I know.
    Contact Dr Utu directly today on; "drutuherbalcure@gmail.com" to free yourself from emotional stress and become healthy again
