My Hair

Should I dye my hair now?  It's not yet 26 or is it 28 shampoos but I look bald already especially at the back  from the top.  I use the not so permanent kind which washes away after several shampooings.  Dark Blonde.  Somewhat light golden brown,  it will not look too contrasted as it does with darker colors when the white roots start showing up.

I look at me in photos of long ago, even photos of a few years back.  Where did all my hair go?  What is left  is very thin, very fine and very limp hair that I cannot even style.  I blame it on my diabetes meds.  Or maybe the Metoprolol, for my hypertension or the Losartan, 100 mg of which may be too much already.  A little over a year ago, I was just taking a quater of all medications.  I  have always associated the jump to my starting my insulin injections.

But insulin doesn't have side effects, everybody  would say.  Maybe it is because I am sensitive.  Maybe the ingredient which allows the Levemir not to be stored anymore in the fridge makes me have this side effect.  I react even to vitamins like Vitamin D or Niacin.  I react even to dogs or cats or trees or forests, this and that.

I think I am also allergic to growing old.
