Got the blood work in - I do have Alopecia

4:17 PM

I call my doctor and complain that I didn't receive my blood work, and now I'm receiving a bills for service that has not been delivered. Well I got the shocking news that I didn't expect, and that is I do have Alopecia. Now I’m wonder if I should have left it alone – what you don’t know won’t kill you. I guess the fact that I have Alopecia came to light after my blood work was done. The nurse also noted that my blood sugar level was also a little low. I'm totally shocked by this news. I really wish the Dr. Rubenstein was a little bit more forth coming when he examine me. He stated from the look of it (my scalp) it didn't look like I had Alopecia.

The nurse went ahead and told me to that I can come in and get some shot for the affect area. I told her no, and that I currently want to wait it out, since my next appointment is in November. So far my hair is growing back, but now I'm a little worried. This news is totally unexpected, and I’m not going lie, I'm sad about it. I may be upset about this now, but I know some people have it a lot worst them me, so God Bless everyone that is facing this issue. All I can do is hope for the best.

P.S. I added the diagram above because of what I experience in the past. I started noticing my hair thinning during and after my pregnancy. The figure above shows what happen to me in the past. I went through all those stages before my sisterlocks. After I hit stage III, I cut off my hair. That diagram also shows what my mom is currently struggling with. She is at stage III.

  1. Kreyola, I am saddened by your diagnosis. I hope they got it wrong. As you know it is something I am battling at the moment and I wouldn't wish it on anyone!

    By the way - where did you get that diagram from? I am at stage III now (except the back and sides are also gone so its freaky). I've never seen a diagram like that before so if you can remember where you got it from I'll visit the site and see what else they say.

    Yeah I'm very saddened by this, but I do have it. I should have known since my mom also has been struggling with this as well. We are dealing with a very stressful family matter which is causing us to both stress.

    I got the diagram from this blog. When I saw the diagram I freak out because that was how my hair went when I was pregnant with my daughter. I hope this link help you out. Be blessed.
