Monday fine. Tuesday fine. Wednesday nothing. Then Thursday everything hits.
Some things hit fast, others don’t... Two bad meals don’t always show up the same day, sometimes it just builds. At some point it stops feeling like single triggers and more like something is just… full.
Like everything stacks. Food, stress, sleep. And once it tips over, that’s when it hits.
I spent years in that cycle. Some mornings I didn't want to go out anymore. I didn't even want to date anymore. I wanted to play games and be isolated until a cure came falling down from the sky. 10 years in forums. I said “why does hair regrow when I run”, everyone laughed. Until now.
From Christmas Eve in my hair 24/7. Red, inflamed, constant itching. to a clear scalp, no itching, no flares. Not cured, but controlled. Two years now.
For the first time I’m not reacting, I’m adjusting.
Am I alone in this, or are there people here who felt that switching shampoos was never enough, and it all came back the second you slipped up?
