I wish the doctors would have said to me, "Stephanie, I am so sorry but one of the side effects of a Lupus flare-up is long beautiful thick healthy hair." Or, "You will have to eat cheesecake everyday to stay healthy and strong." It's annoying that most symptoms of Lupus are bad. The picture on the left is me a few days after Jackson was born. My hair was long and thick and wonderful. I expected it to thin a lot after the pregnancy was done but then it got a little extreme. Six months later on the right I was finally able to get it cut since the Lupus flare finally started getting better. I actually like the length now. It is super easy to care for. And, I like the dark blond color. I had to get rid of the highlights because I didn't want to sit in the beauty salon under the fluorescent lights for hours. Unfortunately, now my hair is very thin and falls out in clumps. I dread washing my hair because I know my hands will be covered in hair. My poor husband has to clean out the drains all the time. It makes me sad but they say after the flare-up is over my hair will stop falling out and grow back. I hope that starts soon or I am afraid I might be bald!
