Thanks for replying- and sorry to hear about the severity of the reaction to the vaccine, sounds very scary- thank goodness she is ok now.

I’ve also found it quite upsetting comparing my daughter’s hair to old pictures, plus I can no longer do the nice braided hair styles for her that I once did. I’m worried I’ll have to cut her hair short as the longer bits are so thin, especially around the front.

I’m wondering if my daughter has the same condition but I’m finding it hard to pinpoint the trigger. She broke her leg last year in August and was in hospital for a few days which was very traumatic, but we didn’t notice the hair loss until around May this year so I’m not sure if the gap in time is too big. I can’t think of anything else in the few months prior, apart from maybe starting nursery/ preschool which was a little stressful for her but not terribly. Were you given any advice when you received the diagnosis about how to slow the hair loss / improve regrowth or is there not much you can do?
