My Hair Loss Story

Image
Hello I thought I would do a blog post about my hair loss story.  In July 2019, I started noticing that whenever I brushed or washed my hair, much more hair than usual would fall out. Sometimes, even lightly running my fingers through the ends caused clumps to come away. Over time, more hair continued to shed, and a bald patch developed on the top of my head. Feeling embarrassed, I bought a cheap wig online and began wearing it whenever I went outside. I didn’t believe this amount of hair loss was normal, so I called my GP surgery and scheduled an appointment. My doctor recommended a blood test to investigate the cause. Two weeks later, I had the test done and received the results soon after. However, they didn’t reveal any clear explanation, so my doctor suggested referring me to a dermatologist through the NHS.

From a young age until I was 14, I had to wear a back brace to stop the curve from getting worse. Sometimes I wore it all the time, sometimes just during the day, and other times only at night. When I turned 14, I stopped growing, and a doctor told me the curve of my spine wouldn’t progress any further. They asked if I wanted scoliosis correction surgery, but at the time I said no. In 2018, I was asked again, and this time I agreed. I was given an information leaflet and placed on the waiting list.
