I'm BACK!!!

had a fab time, although slightly ruined by my allergies being awful awful

But still here and pretty good

had bad urges on journey back and today and accidentally tugged a couple though :(

Gonna wash hair and get back on it.

Oh glad you had such a great time, but sorry to hear about your damn allergies playing up.

Yep, wash hair and regroup. You're a superstar remember.

Well the doc things either my hair, or something I use in my hair has been causing the allergy (my whole face has swollen, my eyes puffed up and closed and I am bright red like a burns vic) he said either its bacteria in my hair, a shampoo or a hairdye - not allowed to use products until its all gone (I have nizoral shampoo) then reintroduce products he said stay away from hairdye too. URGH - my hair is so so white WHITE!!! I will have to find a dye that is OK!!

Well if ever there were evidence there is something seriously not right with my hair/scalp/head this is it hey - so I finally have hair, and I am allergic to it!!!

Argh, I'm sorry. That really sucks.

As for hair dye, they have natural herbal "recipes" online for making your own hair dye (using stuff like coffee, I imagine), but I don't know how well they work. There are also a lot of brands of "natural" hair dyes, although I'm not sure how natural they really are, so you may have to read the ingredients. Can't the doc do an allergy test to determine which ingredient you're allergic to so you can avoid it? Or are there just too many possible things to test?

Urgh, I really hope you feel better soon. Treat yourself to a hot bath or something else nice in the meantime!

Are you using anything new or did you while on vacation? If your urges have been stronger lately try not to look at the white hairs. You don't need temptation when you're already uncomfortable. Good luck, I hope the symptoms get better soon!

I haven't been using anything new - its a joke!! The dr said i could have just suddenly become allergic to something or I just be in a hyper-allergic state where I am reacting to everything. I have had allergy testing before I am am allergic to loads of things, from major (peanuts) to minor (cat hair) but also dust, kiwis, pineapples, strawberries, some cheese....the list goes on!

Still its better today - really heat sensitive though, I cooked dinner and went really hot and red again!

At the moment I am avoiding mirrors - I look awful. the white hairs are all right at the top - luckily I dyed hair recentlyish so they aren't showing too much yet. I do dye them a lot though as they are really dye resistant and the colour fades from them really fast grrrrr.
