Hello! I have been dealing with Trich since 1997! It's hard to know what to do with my hair now, after the damage! I have to cover my head at all times, because the whole top of my head is bald! The hair is growingback from where I pulled! It is just going to take a while to fill in! In the mean time, it is very frustrating!!

Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
When I was around the age of 20 i gained an obscene amount of weight and could not figure out why. Then I noticed that I was only having my monthly about every 3 months or so. I went to the doctor and they told me after doing an ultra sound on me that I had PCOS but the funny thing is they have never given me anything to treat it. I am now 37 and have no children and still no monthly problems.
Close Eczema
I have had eczema since I was about a year old. Back then the doctors had no idea what it was and all they could do was prescribe you creams that didn't work and prescription benadryl. Mine really only gets bad in the summer time. I did receive this one cream that worked so good but it was not for long term use and it was given to me as a sample. For some reason the doctor did not put the name of it in my file so I have no clue what it was, and have never been given it again.
Treatments
- Aloe Vera Somewhat Helpful
- it soothed more then anything
- Triamcinolone Topical Not Working
- I have been prescribed this over and over and I keep telling them it does not work.
Open Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaI started pulling my hair when I was around 19 or 20. I pulled so bad at one point that all the hair on top of my head was gone, I wore a hat all the time because of it. I still pull just not nearly as bad in fact I haven't had a bald spot in well over 10 years now.
Open Panic Attacks
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- This does help me alot.
- Xanax Not Working
- This medication turned me into a raving loony. It made me so moody and so mean.
- Zoloft Not Working
- I took this for a bit but stopped because I didn't like they way it made me feel.
- Atarax Working / Worked
- This is the best thing they have prescribed me. I do not take it everyday but I do take one if I feel a panic attack coming on. The only thing I have found about this medicine is it does make you very drowsy within 20 min of taking it.
