Any time I run my fingers through my hair I’m collecting pretty big amounts of hair in my fingers. It’s a bit concerning. With the cortisol drop, although my cortisol amounts are now normal, they are not normal to what my body adjusted to for the past twelve years. My body is behaving like I have Addison’s disease, or very low cortisol. The muscle weakness and pain are consistent with that. So the hair loss isn’t really a surprise, but I had hoped it would be slowing down at this point four months later.

Will my hair come back? I’ve always had very thick curly hair, and I’ve not really known what to do with my hair being so thin. I’ve knitted a lot of chemo hats for charity, and I’m beginning to wonder if in the near future I will be knitting them for myself.
