Middle of Hairline Hairloss

Mine was all over my head. It grew but it broke off. It lasted for about a year and a half before it started growing back. It started when I was eating really sugary foods for a few months but it continued after I cut sugar out of my diet and it still fell out. It just started healing at its own rate I guess. But yeah for more than a year my hair was getting shorter and scragglier.

I’ve always had the hair breakage which they say is my thyroid disease. Just the hair loss right in the middle of my hairline on my forehead has been annoying.

Crazy loosing your eye lashes! Man the stuff this crap does to us!

My hair has always been a prized possession to me and has made me feel good about myself. I’m a pretty self-conscious person and so this has been hard. I keep looking at it seeing if it’s growing back. When it seems to be it just breaks off or disappears again...

Thyroid and Cortisol issues (lyme does both) can be a cause, or at least part of the cause (experience), as well as circulation. Some of the "help-me-from going-bald" websites claim scalp massages increasing blood flow actually helps. Stress messes with cortisol, so that can do it too. Illness = stress too.

I feel for the ladies facing hair loss. I know from reading that some of the hair loss products (Rx's) have different results between the sexes. Non seem to be the golden bullet/answer though.

Hair loss for guys is bad enough (some flat headed dudes naturally look good with a shaved noggin though). As a 50's guy with plenty of non-gray hair, and longer than "clean cut" (but thinning) I have no idea what Id look like shaved. An Alien from mars? At least im not green. My time might come though. A chrome dome will be weird and cold in the winter, thus, more "furry" hats lol.

Yeah I have a bigger nose with a dip in it at the bridge and small chest that have always made me self-conscious and being told that my friends were always prettier than me by bullies or even my own mom when I was younger. It’s really messed with me.

I can sympathize. My older brother and sister teased me very early on (4 or 5 years old?) I was a sensitive child and would cry easily and they would laugh at me.

Then when I got older (about 11/12) and my adult teeth grew in I had an overbite - I was nicknamed Bucky.

I got braces - and it was fixed but I still wouid hide my teeth until I met a guy at university who out of the blue said he’d written his brother and told him he’d met a girl with a beautiful smile. He wasn’t aware that I had been teased - so he just said that on his own...
From that point on I smiled showing my teeth.

When I was about 16 I put on a pair of cutoff shorts and my mom looked at me and said “oh you’ve inherited my fat legs”

Nice thing for a mother to say to a teenage girl, hey???

The thing is I didn’t have fat legs - I was into many sports - favorite one being track. I had very toned legs.I look at photos now and shake my head that I believed her.

Savedbygrace - I’m sorry you’re dealing with the hair loss - and I’m hoping as treatment goes on it stops - sooner than later. I doubt it would be permanent.

With lyme we aren’t just dealing with horrid symptoms - like pain, neuropathy, cognitive dysfunction etc - we’re also dealing with physical changes to our looks.
It’s not fair!!!
