Hi everyone,

During my flares I have lots of hair loss. It's gotten really bad, its patchy and even when I recover, it doesn't grow back fully. My hair is so thin, and I don't think it will ever go back the way it was. I was considering getting a wig. Does anyone else have this problem ? Do you have another solution? xx

Hello @iwillbeatthis! How are you feeling today?

Thank you for starting this discussion! I think this is a very interesting subject we can discuss together. Hair loss can be a side effect of lupus, however, it is essential to talk to your medical professional. Have you brought up this issue to your doctor? I will tag some members who might want to share their thoughts on this topic.

Hey everyone! How are you?

Do you struggle with hair loss? How do you cope? Have you tried putting on wigs? Feel free to share your experiences!

Take care,

Not a problem my wife has suffered from in her life dealing with her Lupus. She does have a little age related hair lose but nothing you would notice unless you were looking for it.

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
