The worst news

  I want to cry right now.  2 days ago I found a 10p sized bald patch on the left side of my head. Today it’s the size of at least a 50p. What’s weird is where has that part of my tattoo gone?     Devastated does not come close to how I am feeling right now. I was so hopeful and I am worried this is it for me again. I was doing so well and I have been so happy having hair, I know the top hasn’t grown the way I want but I can live with that. It sounds silly but having a ponytail has been so exciting for me as it’s a dream come true for me. However the bald patch today had sent me in a spiral as all I can think about is how it used to be.

Is this for life?

I have been getting a lot of questions about Litfulo and how long you need to be on it. As far as I know from the specialists and the research I have done it seems to be a medication you take for life. A few people have taken it and stopped and within weeks they have gone back to been bald or having significant hair loss again. I can only speak for myself when I say this medication has been a miracle for me, having hair again is helping my confidence return and I have had zero side effects. Don’t get me wrong it’s scary but the only thing I am scared of is been taken off the tablets. I honestly don’t think I could cope if that was to happen. Despite been on Litfulo I still constantly check for shredding and touch wood, so far, nothing but every day is a battle of hope and despair. This medication has been a dream come true for me. I just hope and prey I will continue the way I am. God bless to you all, reach out if you need me.   Dare to dream xxxx
