Yup. Still standing firm with resolve not to smoke. Hey, it's classier to wear a patch versus freeze my boney butt out in the middle of the Canadian winter inhaling, huffing & puffing.
I have asthma & alopecia areata & osteoarthritis. Just when all my hair grows back, it falls out. I have a family history of autoimmune diseases. Most of my Dad's side develops diabetes. So...I've got to be careful. I'm at that age (early 30s) when stuff really manifests. My mother's side has thyroid disorders. So far, so good in that department. Damned endocrine systems! But the baldness, all over again really really hurts.
Hugs. It's going to be okay. You just need more info. re: specifics so you can figure out coping strategies.
