Treating cancer with chemotherapy can save your life, but at the same time, it can trash your hair--and everyone can see it. Many women choose to cover post-chemo hair loss and growout with scarves or hats. But there's no law that says you have to! According to Allure, ovarian cancer survivor Susan Chinn says she quickly got fed up with the discomfort and complication of wearing head coverings. According to Allure, she did something different. She embraced the look and returned to work--despite her trepidation. I remember returning to work with my dome shining bright...self-conscious and convinced that all eyes were focused on my bald head. Chinn says the most important things to have are a sense of humor and good hair products for every step along the way.
Men aged 45 and younger taking the drug finasteride to combat hair loss may have suicidal thoughts or actions. According to research, men on the drug were more than three times as likely to have suicidal thoughts. They are also more than three times as likely to make plans to commit suicide or attempt suicide. According to UPI, suicidal behaviors were 63% higher among those using other drugs for hair loss. Researchers noted that the increased risk was not seen in men 45 and older who use the drug to treat an enlarged prostate. Finasteride is sold under the brand names Proscar and Propecia, among others.
Public health officials haven't held back in linking obesity to worse outcomes for patients with the novel coronavirus COVID-19. But organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are, under the guise of matter-of-factness, covertly fat-shaming the overweight. Body relationship coach Ivy Felicia says the messaging around weight and COVID-19 might negatively affect those at higher weights. HuffPost reports eating disorder therapist Shira Rosenbluth also takes issue with the weight loss campaigns public health officials are promoting right now. Telling higher-weight people they’re more likely to die, for them to be under that kind of stress, is obviously very unhealthy. Shira Rosenbluth Eating disorder therapist
