RE: I was crying one month ago... now there's a new me.

[Guest guest]

I

remember cutting my hair shorter and shorter on tx. I can’t really

remember how I felt about it then. Kinda matter-of-fact, I think now, but

Patty Pooh, Gail or Deb might contradict me on that if I’m

remembering it wrong. A month or so ago, when my thyroid meds were off so

bad & my hair was falling out again, I had to get 4-5 inches cut off &

that day was a horrible day for me. It was like a flash back. I

had worked so long to grow it back after tx. It was really stupid because

the new cut is so much better for me, and the next day I was really happy with

it, but a was SO traumatized that day because I HAD to do it. LOL

Kim,

I am so proud of you for your new attitude. AND your new

wardrobe! Isn’t that a fun part of it all? You’re gonna

have bad days, but keep the faith and the positive outlook and you’re

gonna make it! You’re half way there!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!! And Happy

belated birthday! I turned 50 in ‘07 also. It’s not a

bad age.

I was crying one month ago... now there's a new me.

Hi, I joined the group

one month ago, crying scared to go on after I

had actually cleared my virus. This group makes me so grateful for how

fortunate I am. My doctor has prescibed antidepressants. I'm drinking

more water. And this week have had a clearer head than in months.

This week was a big week. I bought new clothes. My size 14 pants

weren't staying on my new size 8 frame. I went to a dog agility class.

I did what I could. We'll see how I feel later. And my long dyed

blonde hair has been falling out by handfulls, {the roots have turned

much grayer} and today I had it cut short.

Thanks everybody for tips and support,

Today I am happy and looking forward.

I wanted to comment on the loosing hair thing. I was loosing handfuls a day from thyriod. i noticed and thought I was the only one then one day my husband pointed out a bald spot. I freeked out my sister is mostly bald and I thought I would be to. I always thought I would be ok with it because I expected it to happen. I went to the beauty store and picked up a bottle of nutri-ox shampoo, conditioner and treatment. I hated it at first because I had to blow dry my hair in order for the treatment stuff not to bother my skin. I am proud to say that my hair has grown back and looks better than ever. And it has helped my itchy scalp. Up until now nothing helped the itching. So it might be worth a try to others. It cost like $20 to get started. Just an idea not saying it will work for sure.
