Ok friends and family besides gaining weight from the steroids, depression, fatigue, dry eyes and mouth, joint pain, and the lupus rash, I have developed alopecia with scarring on my scalp. So unlike everyone who just shaves their head bald that is not a good look for me. Around the perimeter of my head yes my edges my scalp is completely white and so are the spots where I have hair loss. Lupus has really taken a toll on my self-esteem as a woman my weight, teeth, and hair matter. I can’t go bald because of the scarring but who wants to be forced to wear wigs? I don’t even see myself anymore when I look in the mirror . Lupus has taken so much from me and now my hair?
