Another question - what type of alopecia does your sister have?

Wow, I remember you like yesterday and think of you often!!! I feel the same and send love back. I don't have social media but please email me and I'll give you my phone number! I would love to chat and plan on visiting Arizona in the near future. I have two emails they are josamanka@gmail.com or joroserein@gmail.com. I can't wait to catch up!

Hi! I mainly lost a ton of head hair and maybe more eyebrow shedding than usual but no where else. I hope you are holding in there okay 🙏

Hum how odd. I'm sorry it's not working well for you. It's very loud on all of my electronic devices as well as others I made this video to help. No one I have talked to in any of my chats/comments have reported issues. I use a good microphone. If you have any questions I am happy to respond in a message 😊

Hey there big hugs back!! Your comment made me feel good. I'm glad my videos are helping you. I didn't do much more for the shedding aside from what I talked about in these videos. It got to a point where my other issues were so bad I didn't think about my hair loss as much. Chopping it off was also pretty helpful although it was difficult but good came out of it.

@@joleneroserein8123 thanx for your message It s very kind of you. I want Just Say that your hairs are very nice i hope your Shedding has slowed Down. You notice regrowth?

@@lararuffinatto2148 Hello, I really appreciate your compliment. I think having curly hair helps hide hair loss a little better. I have noticed regrowth although my texture is different now. My shedding is much less than it was but still fluctuates.

Hey! I am happy you reached out. This community is very supportive. TE is definitely depressing. We all have up and down days. It's okay to feel those feelings. My TE has slowed but depending on my illnesses, the pain and stress I am in etc. I will shed more or less. I think that is how things are going to be going forward so I try to work on acceptance and controlling my emotions techniques. These situations are a personal journey, I share what helps me so it can maybe help others. Has your derm done a biopsy? Remember that you have a choice to take what Dr's recommend. If it is not helping and your intuition tells you it is not for you go with your gut. There are many pressures put on people when it comes to prescription medications and it is a difficult choice to make when you desire an issue to go away. I deal with this on a regular basis managing my diseases. Some things work, some don't and others I feel deep down I don't want to take. It is important to advocate for yourself as well and weigh your options. Try your best to direct your energy to aspects of your life that you are grateful for and have hope.

@@joleneroserein8123 thank you for your response back. No biopsy as she is certain it is TE. I don’t have any balding spots thank god, my hair is just half the thickness it was a year and a half ago . She says I have had constant triggers. The birth of my son, then I had a cancer scare, then a colonoscopy which had me under anesthesia , my job that was beyond stressful working 60 plus hours a week while homeschooling my children. ( I have 4 - 10,8,4,1) and then I had breast implant surgery and went under anesthesia again. She is hopeful that I need to be patient with the minoxidil and let it do it’s thing for the next few weeks and hopefully the shedding should subside . She gave me the script 5 months ago and was uneasy about it so I decided to wait in hopes that it would correct itself on its own but it hasn’t. So here I am a month in . Too late too turn back now. I am using the topical , she wants me on oral but there are a lot of side effects I’m not sure I want to risk . Trying to be patient and get myself out of these funks but it’s so hard. I feel sick to my stomach everytime I wash or brush my hair. People says it’s just hair and I know that there could be a lot worse things going on in my life but it’s still hard. Gonna try and be brave and if the shedding doesn’t stop I guess I could look into a Wig for while 🥺

@@jennifermurschell7061 I am sorry to hear all of that. Your situation sounds similar to mine with constant triggers from stress, surgeries, diseases and day to day grind. I too lost over 50 percent of my hair. Life is overwhelming and hard. I can tell you are very strong and am sorry you have to go through all of that. People love to make those comments that don't help at all and are abrasive. It's a challenge to understand something you are not going through which is why support groups are helpful. Just because you have more serious things going on in your body/life does not make something else less difficult to deal with. Not to mention adding another thing to your already upsetting and tough to manage pile. I can relate to how deflated and exhausted that makes you feel. I think looking into a wig is a good idea. Self esteem really gets depleted. This is just food for thought to follow. I seen two derms, one of which I have been going to for years and I am a second opinion kind of woman so I went to another. They both told me after 1 year of shedding they perform a biopsy to assure that it is not diffuse alopecia and it would help give me peace of mind knowing for sure it is TE and not fpb. Once again all doctors are different which makes things more complicated. I'm only putting that out there for you to do as you please with it but it sounds to me that you are following your intuition which is the most important. I am sending you thoughts of healing and strength.

@@jennifermurschell7061 also feel free to contact me by email if you need to just talk, vent etc. It is on my about page

@@joleneroserein8123 thank you for the advise . If I don’t see improvement of shedding over the next 2-4 weeks I will bring up the biopsy when I see her again in September ❤️

I'm sorry to hear that. Try to focus on being thankful that you are alive after covid and know that the hair loss is difficult but temporary. Remember you are not alone and there are people out there to help and provide support.

@@joleneroserein8123 thanks for ur suggestions ❤

I am sending you well wishes. TE and all other diseases/problems do not discriminate and can happen to anyone at any age. I pray for the world and the people and life on it.

@@joleneroserein8123 hope we all get ollright.

Ugh I know, I think about those things frequently. The state of the world is contributing to more illnesses, stress and destruction. I hope things improve in the near future.

@@joleneroserein8123 Some day!!

Thank you so much for your positive thoughts 🥰 I hope those things for you as well 💜

Hey there, I don't know much about prp so I am unable to give advice on that. My dermatologist told me I just have to ride it out because it's from my chronic autoimmune diseases. She did give me topical scalp oils for the burning but from what I understand and going through it twice it has to run its course and unfortunately nothing is going to really stop it. Trying your hardest to be patient/less stressed and promoting a scalp care routine is the simplest way to help. Good luck and stay strong.

@@joleneroserein8123 ...prp - platlets rich plasma injection ?

@@moumitaroy5796 I have heard of what they are but do not have experience and a great wealth of knowledge on those injections. I would not want to steer you in the wrong direction. They were not offered to me as an option but if your dr is recommending them I'm sure they could be helpful. Are they available for you to get? If you think they are safe and will work for you, you could give them a try.

I'm also searching the same thing. Currently I'm in a very bad situation. My hairfall is very severe after typhoid. Don't know what can I do and doctors are not taking my hairfall seriously. I'm about to get bald. Its very scary being a bald girl in India. People in western countries are supportive, they don't make fun but here in small cities of India, people will kill me by their taunts and no one is ever gonna marry me.

@@alvinsimon4107 I am so sorry to hear that. It is terrible that people treat others in such a manner. True beauty comes from within. Try to manage your stress the best you can. TE unfortunately needs to be rode out until its course is finished. Are you able to get a wig or topper to make you feel more comfortable? You are not alone, many people go through this and people can be there for you online through TH-cam channels like this or support groups for hair loss.

Hey iam intersted

Plzz reply me...i am getting so much hairfall

Me too...

Hello everyone sorry for the delay, I've been continuing to go through a lot health wise. I am going to look at my calendar and work on setting something up live in the next couple weeks. In the meantime keep your heads up and try your best to focus on what you are grateful for. Oh and stay out of the mirror if you can. Sending positive vibes to all of us.

Morning I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with this. It is very difficult and what is going on in the world is not helpful with any stress you face. I'm sending you positive vibes. My initial trigger was a flare up of my ulcerative pancolitis accompanied with ecoli, and c diff. Then lice from my neice and surgical removal of a breast tumor. All of those things lead to it falling out for 14 months and it is just slowing again now. How about yourself? If you care to share. Any stressful event physically or emotionally can set this off.

@@joleneroserein8123 I had TE twice in the past; once from low iron (lasting about 6-7 months) and then once from the flu with high fevers, which lasted for 3 months. My trigger this time I believe was starting a new birth control pill, then stopping it, accompanied by extreme emotional stress/trauma from the hormone changes and TE itself. Did you ever experience any scalp sensations like itching or tingling during your TE? I did not have it in my prior TE bouts but I'm definitely having it this time.

@@Filmyism I'm sorry to hear that. It's crazy that there are so many things that can trigger TE. My scalp was terrible both times and worse at the neck nape, with itching, burning, pain, red bumps and an overall irritated feel on my entire head. My derm gave me a cream that helped cool it called betamethasone dipropionate and a medicated scalp oil that was even more soothing called fluocinolone acetonide topical oil. I still use these. I also used a couple different shampoos that are in one of my other videos (pics of the actual bottles) and I am currently using head and shoulders with tea tree oil that helps my scalp better. It took some trial and error to figure out what worked best for my head. I'm sure you will have to do the same but those are some things you can look into and try!

@@joleneroserein8123 hey i am suffering from t.e and i feel like burning sensation on my scalp and i have red bumps also in the scalp i am feeling like i will quit my life...facing 300-400 hairfall...can you tell me what was happen to you in t.e....it will help me....plzz do reply i am getting so much hairfall

@@meenaljha3992 do you really face hairloss like 300 400 daily???? I'm also losing a lot of hair after being covid affected..what was your trigger..you can share your experience

How is your hair now?

Hey, thank you so much for all of your advice and thoughts. Your words resonate with me. I do struggle with depression and anxiety due to my chronic health issues and 50 plus surgeries. I am unable to work as a result and just received two more very rough back diagnoses in the last month on top of my UC so things have been darker. I have seen a counselor for years focusing on pain management and coping as well as trying to find a med that agrees with my intestines but it is difficult for me. I long for a healthy body. I cut my hair to my chin recently and it has helped me see myself more in a way that you described. The hair loss was a blow to me in that I have used it to hide my pain and illnesses behind it. It brought about a new meaning of vulnerability. I am grateful for your prayers and return that support to you 🙏❤

@@joleneroserein8123 how your hair now

Hello there I am so sorry that you have to go through this as well. My TE hairs do have white bulbs on them for the most part. I think its a good idea to see a dermatologist for more peace of mind.

If it was TE it would have white bulbs on the ends.

Thank you so much, your kind words are very appreciated. sending love and light back xoxo

Thank you so much for offering me your support. It means a lot to me. It makes a big difference being able to reach out to someone who knows what you are going through. Not to mention I feel terrible venting to my husband all the time. My body is littered with other serious illnesses aside from losing my hair and it makes things really hard on both of us. Your situation sounds the same as mine. Its been a year now and I have the same amount of loss. You are not alone and I appreciate you reminding me that I am not alone either. It is easy to feel that way. I am sending you strength and love 💕

@@joleneroserein8123 thank you and again if you ever need to talk to someone I’m here if you ever want to reach out, if you have any other social media I’m on instagram, Facebook and snap

Hello there thank-you for reaching out. I have not tried rogaine yet but am going to keep it in my mind for the near future. I recently chopped my hair to my chin and am considering just shaving it in the summer if it doesnt stop because it is driving me mad.

Thank you so much for the advice and support ❤

I am so appreciative of your kind words. It makes me happy that I have been able to help and connect with others. Sorry for the delayed response I have been recovering. Thank you and I am sending you positive vibes and love.

I'm sorry to hear that. My heart breaks for all people dealing with this. I wish I could make it stop for all of us. I debated posting myself in a messy state but the help and support I get keeps me moving forward. I've been in a real slump.

@@joleneroserein8123 same here !

Mine never stopped & I noticed an increase in shed for a lot of people in sep / October. Could just be seasonal .Fluctuations are common in TE . Your TE probably never stopped but slowed down . Hang in there . Try not to stress about it . If you can invest in a hair topper that would be great . I never used mine but noticed that having it really takes half of your stress away . There are so many “ telogen effluvium “ support groups on fb . Please join them for support . So many women are going thru this . I have heard stories of ppl recovering in 2,3 ,4 years and some just have a chronic TE . You are not alone . Sending you lots of love . It’s just a difficult “Test “ God has put some women in and not something that others can understand except for those who are going thru this traumatic experience.

@@saban9128 What an amazing Text! I have been suffering from this since February and noticed an increase around the same time. When did your TE start, if I may ask?

@@Paula-om6dg jan ! I have scalp symptoms with Te too along with dandruff.

Hello, yes, unfortunately lots of scalp pain and itching

Ys i do sometyms .

Jolene you will recover soon. This is temporary and whatever you loose will grow back again for sure. It will take some time. Hope your surgery is successful. Lots of good wishes and prayers😊.

Thank you so much. I'm incredibly happy that these videos are helpful to others. The feedback and support from you wonderful people is just as helpful to me. I'm grateful. TE is a challenging thing to go through. I actually found out three days ago that my neice gave me lice on top of it all. Its been awful. My head had a reaction to the shampoo and my hair was falling out by the handfuls again. I became upset because of the trauma from the past year. It was tough. I have had enough and need a break. Trying to continue positive practices while tackling this new obstacle and praying the TE will not return full force. I will definitely try the sea kelp. Thank you for that recommendation. I'm continually sending out healing thoughts to all of you as well as other people struggling.

Thank you for the information and encouragement. Im sorry to hear of your loses as well. Life can be very difficult thats for sure. What types of shampoo are they recommending that you use now? I'll be curious to know and test one out myself. My head gets irritated from many of these shampoos too and I would like to find something gentler.

oh my goodness! My TE started 3 weeks after using Head and Shoulders and Nizoral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dermatologist said it was impossible for me to lose my hair form that. They said it was just a coincidence.

@@aliiiiibaby that's how my TE started too.. when I started using nizoral.

@@sresthababuta934 No way?! How long did yours last? I really need mine to end.

@@aliiiiibaby sorry to be bearer of bad news but its still going on. Anytime I use any anti dandruff product , it acts up again . It had improved quite a lot but I used some medicated lotion to improve the dandruff and it started again.🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey there I am so sorry you have to deal with this. It's such an obstacle. I do lose some baby hairs but not nearly as many as the full length. My derm decided to hold off on my biopsy and check things at my follow up. However the way to diagnose androgenic alopecia/ female pattern baldness is with a biopsy. It would show miniaturization of the hair follicles which is different from TE. Or at least that is what my derm told me and showed me with her in office charts. Keep pushing forward, try to be as positive as possible and practice lots of self-care.

Hey how's ur sheeding

Hey there the cause of my TE was a result of many health issues. I had ecoli, c diff and my ulcerative pancolitis has been flaring bad for over a year. Hospitalizations, surgeries etc. Due to those things as well.

Jolene Rein oh my cause is stress and vitamin d deficiency can I reach out to you on Instagram?

@@Ghanini Hey I hope you are holding up okay. I unfortunately do not have any form of social media.

Jolene Rein why do I see regrowth but still shedding?

@@Ghanini I am not sure why that happens but it has been happening to me as well so it may be a normal thing to see.

Hello! Thank you so much. The med that I take in the morning is called loratadine and the combo med I take before bed is hydroxyzine.

Hey! I plan on doing an updated video sometime in the next couple weeks. Hair is still falling but slowing again. I think cutting the 16 inches off it was helpful in many ways. Im also using some different shampoos from my derm. I will chat about all the things in my update.

Hey I also had dengue n my hairs have also started shedding and still shedding it's been a year..I have also chopped my hairs short nd but still loosing hairs..😭

@@dikshabehl3410 how's ur sheeding Nd how long uh sheeding?

@@akankshachoudhary1043 in strances they are shedding and it's been a year

@@dikshabehl3410 it's my 11 th month and I m still sheeding and how much uh loose ?

Thank you for the compliments and well wishes. They mean a lot to me. Chronic illness is a huge battle. I cry daily from the pain and struggle. Health is the greatest gift in the world. Im going to do a series dealing with illness soon. Sending positive vibes back to you ;)

My TE has been going on for almost 7 months now. My dr has scheduled me to have a scalp biopsy in mid July to check for AGA.

I can’t even tell by looking you had TE . My 6th month is ending. My dermatologist has scheduled me for patch test . He thinks I am allergic to “ propylene glycol “ that is in the shampoos . My scalp ( protective layer is gone after hair Botox) . I am planning to get a hair cut shoulder length this weekend too . It’s just too exhausting dealing with TE .

@@saban9128 hummm an allergy is a good thing to check for. When I go back in July I'm going to mention that. Cutting my hair has really helped lift some weight. I still have days but am handling things better. I recommend it. Hair loss definitely sucks and my scalp pain, itching and buring is ridiculous. My hairdresser cut it a few more inches shorter after we chopped it. Luckily my hair is very curly so its harder to tell but I've lost more than half so far and its still shedding. One of my pigtails used to be thicker than both sides we cut off combined.

Jolene you are lucky you had thick hair to begin with . Allergy Center do not do patch test in summer and I have been told to wait until September so this waiting game is hard . I hate the symptoms that come with it . I cannot use anti dandruff shampoo as it’s hurts more . Ordered a “free & clear shampoo “ and hoping it works as it is propylene glycol & fragrance free . There is not much choice when we have sensitive scalp .i must say this you look very pretty !
