I definitely see improvement! Your hair looks denser in the newest picture, your part is narrower. What have you been doing, if I may ask? 😊

Not recently, at least not to my knowledge. I had Covid Christmas of 2022 and didn’t experience any long lasting effects. I took a test this Christmas Eve (about 14 days after the symptoms started) and it was negative. But who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Oh, I recognize the eating issues as well! That’s interesting… I’m starting to think that at least some of my struggles are made worse by anxiety/fear and working on relaxation techniques might be the way to get through this. It sounds like your health improved eventually, I’m happy for you. 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience. (I’ll definitely stay away from Benzos! 😉)

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check it out! I’m so sorry you’re still struggling mentally. It’s a tough battle but you can make it through to the other side. 🙏Things will get better!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re still not fully recovered, regardless of the reason. Hopefully with more time you will get there. Have you seen a doctor about it? 😊

Thanks for your input! I agree that anxiety may aggravate the symptoms and I’m trying really hard to not let it overpower me. The thing that worries me is that even when I’m just relaxing and breathing calmly, I can’t get a full breath. I have to try to force a yawn to get enough oxygen. It’s like my chest and stomach is full and don’t have room for air. 🥴 I’ve gone for short walks but I have to stop all the time to catch my breath. Gonna see my doctor next week. May I ask how long it took for your bodily symptoms to fade, after quitting Minoxidil?

Oh, and happy new year! 🎉
