Alopecia Universalis.

Alopecia Universalis is the loss of all head hair. It’s causes are unclear, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder and well as stress contributing. No one really knows why this happens or how to treat it. Nor do they know the physiological side effects it has on someone and their families. According to stats, 2% of men and 1% of women in the western world suffer some form of Alopecia Areata. Only 2% of those of Totalis or Universalis, in other words, 1 in every 125,000 men and 1 in every 250,000 women suffer from this disease. I have someone in my family with this. No one could even begin to understand the effect that it has on them, the emotional struggle, the battle they fight every day and how it effects their day-to-day life. 

They feel scared, judged and will either draw their eyebrows and wear a wig or will avoid leaving the house. I, myself, never understood these effects until very recently. I can never imagine going through this. 

There’s no cure of cancer, there’s no cure for Alopecia Universalis.  (Glucocorticoid injections, anthralin is not guaranteed and barley ever works) I wish there was a cure, and I wish people were more aware of it.

The Most Powerful Thing You'll Ever Learn Is to Smile

The Most Powerful Thing You'll Ever Learn Is to Smile: I think it’s fair to say last night was...

Hair loss.

A girl on facebook was posting about how she was crying because she asked her mom to trim her hair and her mom chopped it all off. She was saying that her hair was the only thing left about herself she liked and now it’s gone.

She finally posted a picture. Her hair is still passed her shoulders, which is BARELY shorter than it was originally. She said she lost like 5 inches.

Twice a year my mom gets 6+ inches of her hair cut off and given to Locks of Love and after weight gain and skin trauma, my mom’s hair is also the only thing about herself she likes anymore. But it’s not as important as what she can do for others with what she blessed with; lots of fast growing hair.

I don’t understand how someone can cry and whine that way when there are people sick and losing their hair everyday. I’m sure if they’d love having only lost a few inches, vs all of the hair on their head. There’s people out there with disorders that they cannot grow hair in general or they lose it all from their scalp to their eyelashes or all body hair, then cannot grow it back. Alopecia I believe?

Yeah idk. I guess I just wanted to rant that this bitch, yes bitch, is entirely ungrateful for everything that she’s got. I know we all can be at times, but come on. I was expecting to see ear length hair. This is just ridiculous. And i’m sure she just tossed that “5inches” in the trash too with her selfish little tears. Whatever. Grow up girl.
