Dealing with Hair Loss From Lupus

December 30th, 2008

As years have gone on my hair has thinned out a lot because of the lupus. I don’t like looking at a lot. It makes me feel old and reminds me of the many things lupus has done to me. It’s even harder that the medications I take everyday have some of the same side effects. I just can not win with the lupus, but this effect is minor compared to the many things lupus can do to your body. I think the thing angers me the most about the lupus is the lack of energy I deal with each day. I have tried to look on the bright side, but sometimes it’s easier said then done. Finding something to help re grow my hair has been difficult. I have gradually lost more of my hair because of the lupus. nioxin is one the medications you can buy to help regrow your hair. I think that anything is worth it to feel better about myself in general. Feeling better about myself is very difficult for me. I am much better then I use to be about myself, so that’s a big step in my dealing with lupus and its side dishes. I just have to find the good things about living with lupus, if their any of them.

    Don’t let the loss of hair let you down.. You can always wear a wig or a hat when you go out.. May 2009 brings you more health and happiness for you. Smile! :)

    Just a brief not to say that I’ve referenced your blog at the bottom of this page as “a blog about one woman’s battle with Lupus.”

    Hi,

    I came across your blog while searching ways to regrow my hair in google…I have SLE as well and I have been wearing wigs for the past 10 years. Lupus has taken away my teenage years, I am 21 this year and still, I cannot go out without wearing a wig. Lupus has stopped me from pursuing my dream as being a model. I understand how u feel, i have a very nice website which sells really great style wigs, nobody ever finds out i am wearing one :)

    lets be strong for the new year :)
    cheers
    Erika
