hair still feels like it’s thinning out, but maybe not so rapidly now as a few weeks ago. I have noticed though, that I have a lot more white hairs now than I did before. Before, I just had a few. Now, I see a few on all sides when I pull my hair back, like underneath. So here it comes- the white hair journey. It seems like an appropriate time, as it feels like I’ve just passed through the most physically stressful period of my life so far.

I noticed recently that my one pain in my life, skin pain, is practically no longer with me. Like I go through each day, and at the end of the day, I can’t remember feeling any pain. It’s very different from what I just lived through for so long. I just have this one small crack on my thumb fingertip from the weather being so cold and then dry inside. but other than that, my skin feels soft and not inflamed and not giving me any hard time really anywhere. It’s not perfect, but when I was in the thick of it a few months ago, I never thought this day would come – painless days. I’m so happy, so grateful for this. i’ve even been having some foods from the no-no categories (wheat, dairy, egg) and I took a Plan B pill this week, but haven’t noticed any kind of real flareup/setback yet. *update 1/7 – all this still true.
