My Alopecia Journey

 Hi guys  Just wanted to let you all know I was able to have the flu jab whilst taking the Litfulo however there is a question mark about the Covid jab. I will speak to the dermatologist and let you know what she says  Dare to dream xxxx

 Hi guys  Look at this after 10 years I have eyelashes.  Xxxx

  Hi guys. It’s now almost 7 months since starting Litfulo and still taking daily with no side effects which is great.   I have good    hair growth overall however for some reason there is minimal regrowth at the top but everywhere else is growing beautifully. I am going to be asking about  minoxidil at my next appointment as I have done research and chatted to you lovely people on my Facebook group and been told that this helps when taken at the alongside Litfulo. With a bit of luck it will start to fill in the gaps. As you can see from the pictures it is slowly growing into the middle but I can’t help looking at myself and thinking I look like a middle aged man!!. Why does this condition cause stress within stress? I am now panicking that when I see the dermatologist next month they will say it’s not enough and take me off the medication. The rest of my head is doing really well and growing thick and fast. I just prey the top will catch up.  On the bright...

  Found this new article which may be of interest reference below xxxx New treatment could reverse hair loss caused by an autoimmune skin disease A microneedle patch that delivers immune-regulating molecules can teach T cells not to attack hair follicles, helping hair to regrow.   Next Researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School have developed a potential new treatment for alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss and affects people of all ages, including children. For most patients with this type of hair loss, there is no effective treatment. The team developed a microneedle patch that can be painlessly applied to the scalp and releases drugs that help to rebalance the immune response at the site, halting the autoimmune attack. In a study of mice, the researchers found that this treatment allowed hair to regrow and dramatically reduced inflammation at the treatment site, while avoiding systemic immune effects elsewhere in t...

Sorry that I have not posted for a few weeks but I was in hospital so here’s the latest update. I am still making good progress so far and the top is starting to grow. It is not great in the pictures but it’s there and for some reason it’s circling towards the middle the back and sides is doing really well so let’s hope the middle catches up soon  has anyone else noticed growth like this?  Dare to dream xxxx

  Last night I had a dream that my hair started falling out again. I am scared. When I had seasonal alopecia my hair fell out so much in August every year without fail and started to grow back in March. This was unknown to the healthcare professionals hence I had the paper published (you can see the paper on my blog) I know I am been negative but I am now so paranoid and checking my head constantly. As much as I hope this treatment will work I am so scared it’s a fluke and I will be bald again soon. Alopecia is so hard to comprehend, part of me wants to feel hope but the other part of me expects failure. How do we deal with this?     As you all know I have always used this blog to be open and honest and I won’t lie I am scared right now. Is having hair,  eyelashes and eyebrows too much to hope for? I keep checking my pillow for hairs as I feel certain I’m not going to have my dream come true. Imagine living a life hoping, not a single hair will be shed!!! I’m not ask...

 Omg I have dreamt about having eyelashes for so many years and thanks to Litfulo they are starting to grow better. Unfortunately I only have a crappy old mascara but maybe it’s time to invest in a new one.  Dare to dream xxxx

 I have had a few messages from people asking if Litfulo causes side effects. I can say so far nothing much since March. I had a bit of heartburn at the start but not enough to concern me as I have had it randomly for years. Another comment is about weight gain and I have been losing weight since I started taking it on top of that my cholesterol has actually gone down. I haven’t changed my diet or lifestyle so who knows it may be Litfulo is the cure we will never know until it is tried and tested over a period of time.   Dare to dream xxxx

 Latest pictures I have hair on back and sides which is obvious and the hair on the top of my head is starting to grow. I look like a balding man 😝. The hair seems to be starting on the sides and circling towards the middle from the outside in.  Dare to dream xxxx

 I only have an old mascara but had to share the results. There were no lashes at all before I started Litfulo but as you can see they are coming on slowly Dare to dream xxxx

 This is so exciting, I cannot believe the progress. Let’s hope it stays  Dare to dream xxxx
