What about jobs?
I'm not sure what form of alopecia I have, but I've been thinning on top of my crown for a while now - and it has been pretty devastating. I'm also a female, butch, overweight (I'm working on it) and now ...thinning in the wrong areas (I wish I was losing weight! haha). How are people dealing with jobs while being gay, and dealing with alopecia at the same time?More and more I'm thinking of focusing my career toward more freelance opportunities - that way I can be me at whatever stage.LucSee More
Luc30 replied to JeffreySF's discussion Has your sexual orientation helped or hindered your acceptance with alopecia in the group LBGTS Alopecian Family and Friends"Hi Emily,
So I noticed you're talking about San Francisco - how accepting is it really? I've been looking to move out of Washington D.C. - which is to say the least: too corporate for me. Is San Francisco really as friendly as I hear…"

- Hello!
I am not entirely sure what is happening to me, or how long it will last. I started losing my hair in late 2009 after a pretty stressful medical situation that thankfully cleared itself up. At the time I wasn't caring a bit about my hair - until April of 2010 when I had to attend a wedding. As I was working on my hair I noticed that the middle had a very noticeably thin look.
I went to my doctor who after a series of tests discovered that I'm slightly hypothyroid and medicated me with Levothyroxine, the rest is history.
The medication thinned my hair out to a point that it is now difficult to conceal, not to mention the snowball of other issues that it caused. I stopped the medication cold turkey, and the shedding diminished, but unfortunately has not been growing back. At this point, it is very possible that AGA was triggered, but I'm still holding on to hope.
So here I am looking for answers, and also hoping to be of some help to those who are even newer than me to this situation.
- Do you have alopecia?
- Hair loss due to medical treatment
- Are you age 18 or older?
- Yes - I am 18 or older
