I'm sorry you're going through this. My situation is different — I seem to be losing mine on account of a severe, long-term, and chronic iron deficiency, and it took my doctors 25 YEARS to figure out that I'm a hemophiliac (though even after this diagnosis, I'm still not able to access appropriate treatment for the deficiency) — but I just wanted to offer some solidarity and assure you that you are entirely justified in being upset about this.

For me, it's frustrating to think about beach days and travel: I want to be able to spend a day under the sun / in the water, feeling the breeze and the waves through my hair — not shielded by a wig — without worrying about my scalp burning / having to wear a hat (since you can't really apply sunscreen to a head with diffusely-thin hair...). I want to be able to travel without having to think about "packing" my hair, lol. (Not to mention that prosthetic hair is a huge expense. Even the "cheap" kinds.)

Genuinely hoping a better solution magically appears for you, and wishing you all the best with your health journey. 💜
