My hair!
Posted , 14 users are following.
What is happening to my hair? I feel like I look like Red Skelton with a
Patch of extremely dry hair on each side of my face. Looks like hay
My hair never did this before, it's just dry dry dry. Also my skin feels
thinner and dry too. Is this part of the wonderful world of the
menopause blues too? I feel like a freak show inside and look like
One outside. 😕

Might well be the meno. My hair is lacking bounce recently. I normally have nice weavy hair and many hairdressers used to give me compliment about the quality of my hair. But now it feels lifeless and flat. Must be the HORMONS I would say.

Me too Kimmy my hair is as dry as chalk! My face looks like I got chicken poxs ACNE FACE had this since the peri started and thought I was meno and guess what yep I still have it! I had oral surgey awhile back and still havent got my upper plate because I have NO dental insurance and my autistic son has to get work done and they have to put him to sleep SO I have to wait like another year maybe 2 before I can get mine by that time my lips will finish caving in so that just adds to my nigtmare hormonal scary face! These are other things that just adds to my homebouned life! It will take me a good year or so to make payments on Jacob's dental work. (Autistic kids diets are horrible and hard to change) . I know if my husband was alive I could have had all this done but after his death income stopped, he was our soul income and provider :-( I get surviors benefit from social security and DIC but its not enough to pay for the needed stuff like dental care, clothes, misc and etc. They won't give Jacob a medical card because we have Tri Care standard but it doesn't cover dental. Plus we have to pay 25% of that. Oh well it is what it is. I'm racking my brain for anything I can do from home to help support us. Fighting these meno symtoms keeps me feeling tired, weak and sad not to mention the other 66 symptoms. I'm learning to deal with things

Sorry to hear about your issues. There was a post here not long ago about legitimate work from home. Have you seen it?

I am the one that sent those WAH jobs. I am not rehireable because I had to miss so much when my husband was so sick and on life support. The last almost two years of his life he was so critical that he was sent to the VA care facility in Minnesota the only place that would take a Veteran on a ventilator so then I had to misss even more work because the months that I could I had to drive from Kentucky to Minnesota back and forth so anyways due to all that I went through all those jobs and not rehireable now . After he died I even sent death certificate but because a few times when they called that he was been rushed to ICU (knowing he could die at any moment) because I left during shift and because this went on for so long I was put on do not rehire list :-( But it's okay we are hanging in there and i'm praying that some door will open or I can find another WAH job that I dont know about . Just that the last 3 years and then this year with all my health issues and Jacobs it just been a rough ride. I had to vent that one time because it just seemed like nothing was getting any better no matter how hard I tried and for a while I must admit I just lost all hope! But for Jacob's sake and my daughter kayla who has two permenant colostomies and a host of other issues I decide to fight harder but it took a bit to get that fight back! Family support I dont have because I was raised in foster care my whole life and my foster parenst was rather uo in age when I was a kid and of course have since gone home to be with the Lord. I am working on things though :-)

Keep fighting and don't lose hope. Remember God is able and has the last say. Take care?

Yep. Ditto. For me this is one of the worst symptoms. I know its probably lack of oestrogen, I am definitely menopausal. I have had long thick hair most of my life. Now it embarrases me, so I wear it up all the time. I'm still resisting getting it cut to a shorter syle, because I dont want to do what alot of others do when this happens, and keep hoping for a miracle solution.
I did try taking HRT but I gained a bit of weight and - even worse - developed loads of acne, - on my face and back - Yuk! So I stopped that.
Although I havent put on weight my body feels flabbier - only one answer to that - same old boring - more excercise.
