hey guys i'm new here but I have a little story and looking for opinion.
I'm 27. hair loss on my family is on the not great side but not bad either. some have hair , some don't.
I got a really bad back condition with 3 herniated discs. I couldn't walk , go to the bathroom well, erectile dysfunction, swollen balls, couldn't eat. I lost 20 pounds in like 2-3 weeks.
I was in my bed all day just with relentless panic attacks and beyond depressed. no one could figure out what was wrong during this time. I felt hopeless and I just would hope I wouldn't wake up sometimes. it was terrible my whole body didn't work right. I also lost my job. I got a new one where I had to then work 9 hours a day in excursiating pain where I'd lay on the floor sometimes. I had to do this for 3 months so I could get health insurance to get an mri. I help significantly in supporting my house hold and this put strain on my relationship with my gf to.
about 4 months after this. I noticed my hair looked and felt a lot thinner. areas of male pattern baldness obviously look bad cause they aren't perfect to begin with. but my entire head of hair felt thinner. I had a lot of shedding in shower, hair on pillows when I woke up in the morning. my hair hurts, burns, itches.
I'm a lot better now than I was but still have a wayyyyy to go. nothing will be permanent. I'm all good just physical therapy taking for ever.
derm said could be something called tellogen evluviam?? probably butchered that. but anyway. its been a year since the back started and 8 months since I noticed the hair loss. my hair still hurts and burns. he said stress can cause this and that it won't stop till I'm " back to normal" some could be male pattern baldness. I noticed a huge difference between a pic of myself a week before this happened and after.
now that I typed this out, yeah most likely stress and pain. but I wanted some opinions.
also I took anti biotic and pain medicine for a month.
also. my house is in foreclosure.
just wondering what people make of this or any with similar experiences. positive hopefully lol. thanks
