Hi there all! So basically I am writing on this forum on my brothers account figured there is no point in making a new account and it may get blocked as we use the same computer.
Anyhow, back in November or December of 2012 I became very sick for no apparent reason and could not eat anything at all. I remember I could chew on the food but just couldn't swallow it at all. This went on for a good 7 or 8 months. Then somewhere in Sept of 2013 I started shedding more hair. I didn't think much of it at all. The shedding is still with me but much much less now.
Then in November of 2014 I shaved down my head to a grade 5. It was then that I noticed that parts of my scalp was visible and under light it was even more visible. Again I didn't think much of it as I hadn't really shaved my head down before.
I shaved my head down again in May of 2015 and my scalp was still visible. So the derm said you have chronic TE due to not eating properly and being underweight. I am 22 years old and a male and I only weight about 55KG (121 lbs).
Now nearly 3 or 4 years on my hair started to shed a lot back in October 2016 and sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad as in some days I may shed a lot of hair and then some days I may shed much less. I read and apparently Chronic TE does this. I really blame myself to be honest because even though I know the cause I didn't really put a stop to the cause.
But since December of 2016 I changed and started eating more chicken, meat and vegetables. Then back in March the doctor gave me a Hair, Nails and Skin Vitamin which I have been taking since March 12th.
Now my hair has changed texture since taking them it has become much more thicker. However I have a major problem. My hair texture is not the same as it used to be. It is kind of brittle and I have all these short and long hairs sticking up all over the place on my scalp.
I was wondering could this be new regrowth or does change in hair texture mean my TE is back again? If not how long does it realistically take to recover and get your old hair back after removing the causing trigger in Chronic TE?
Sorry for the long post and thank you everyone for your time.
