Alopecia Areata, Hypothyroidism, autoimmune conditions & hair loss

Holly Pini is a busy working mother, who works at a school with children with autism.

She suffers from two autoimmune conditions, Alopecia areata & hypothyroidism.
Her Mum has also had alopecia areata since she was 13, she wore wigs her whole life. She also has hypothyroidism.

During her GCSE's she was exhausted, and began to question if she had an issue. Eventually she found out she had hypothyroidism & has been on medication ever since.
She had no hair loss issues until after the birth of her second son.
She found that her hair loss was not met with anywhere near the same compassion & patient care as her hypothyroidism by healthcare professionals.

She describes how her mental health has been affected and how some days she finds it hard. she tries to be positive and pushed through the worst days. She also suffers from health anxiety, which she has had treatment for, and has been wary to try new treatments.
