To be completely honest, I'm still quite confused about when, how and why my alopecia manifested into what it is today.
6 months ago I was not applying steroid cream onto my eyebrows in a bid to save them - nor was I seeing my eyelashes disappear overnight.
Though each day I accept it more and more, I continue to carry questions that seemingly can't be answered.
Even this leaves me wondering:
"Hair follicles grow faster than any other part of the body and are easily affected by emotional stress and physical dress, although there is often a delay factor. For instance, a woman may lose hair for one to six months following childbirth.
- Modern Ailments Ancient Remedies – A Healing Manual by Gillian Kerr N.D. and Dr. Yvonne Bloomfield.
My psychologist initially said alopecia was always going to happen for me - that is, at some stage in my life I would be as hairless as I am today.
In my second session, however, she had taken the time to consult my dermatologist only to disprove this theory and throw me a new one: alopecia could only ever happen (and return) to me in moments of extreme stress.
The two theories, their similarities and differences, have confused me ... a lot.
For me, the first theory suggests I would surrender to it eventually, where stress would play a small role.
Whereas the latest theory might mean extreme stress has caused the hair loss - and it could return to me again should my life manufacture the same experiences of early 2009.
Somehow, I don't think there is a simple answer to this one...
