Sunday Confessions: February 2, 2020
I Confess:
Guys. It's happened. I started using Rogaine.
I Confess:
Okay, when did it become impossible for me to get a Sunday Confessions post out on actual Sunday? I mean, yes, I worked yesterday - but planning. Come on! I will try harder.
I Confess:
I got the results of my home sleep study and I was weirdly thrilled to learn that I do have quite the sleep apnea. (I guess that means I'm not just lazy. I mean, I AM lazy, but some of that can be attributed to being exhausted all the time.) Just waiting to hear from the Medical Equipment company regarding the insurance approval for a CPAP machine.
Is it a side effect of any medications you are taking? Or just getting older? I know my hair is MUCH thinner than it was back in high school. I regret all the straightening, bleaching, and general abuse.
ReplyDeleteYay for figuring out your sleep issues! But boo that it's sleep apnea. But yay then you can try to fix it!
I think it's a combination of 3 things:
Delete1.) The biggest culprit: PCOS (medical condition that causes hormones to be out of whack).
2.) Some antidepressants and PPIs have the reported side effect of thinning hair with long-term use (on user review sites and stuff), even though it is not listed as an official side effect and most doctors are like "yeah, no, that's not a thing." But the people taking the medication say it can be, so...
3.) Just getting older. Boo.
The CPAP machine has changed my life.
