One step forward, one step backward

Some of the hair that regrew fell out. I was super disappointed. But, I had tapered down from the aloe vera and Chinese herbs and completely stopped the prednisone. So, I'm going back to the initial dose of aloe vera. I am going to finish up the prednisone or take as much of it as I can before the side effects get to me and finish the bottle of Chinese herbs. I'm so disappointed because I was suppose to get a refill of the Chinese herbs on Friday, but they were shipped to the wrong address. I only have a few capsules left, but the prednisone should make up for the couple days that I will miss taking the He Shou Wu. I'm very grateful that my eyelashes and eyebrows haven't fallen out. It is a blessing.

New growth is falling out

It is so sad to admit, but I found a bald patch where I first noticed the regrowth. I had such high hopes for the aloe vera and He Shou Wu. Not sure what to think now. I'm going to continue taking both because I think it does some good. My skin certainly feels smoother.
