Sorry, I haven’t had any hair in a couple decades, but I know sometimes the tiniest thing can hurt like hell. But you may want to consider chopping off what hurts.
Remember, “it’s just a flesh wound”!
Ha Monty python may be a good distraction from pain.
Maybe a loose braid? Or a headband, but be careful because that can make your head ache.
I used to use Lilla Rose clips when pony tails hurt too much. But i am recently diagnosed and havent tried them lately now that my hair is longer again. Some days even the weight of my hair feels like it's pulling my scalp and hurts like hell. I am thinking of chopping it off but worried I'll regret it if it doesnt help.
@A MyFibroTeam Member lol no harm done, it just SOUNDED brutal but I personally did not think for a second that you meant to minimize the posters's pain. It was nice of you to post a clarification just in case 🤗
The visualization of your words "struck" me... @ chopping off what hurts - philosophically I suppose that's what cognitive therapy is all about.
On a more comedic note, If I literally chopped off that that hurt me I'd be chopping off my limbs right and left and end up looking like the knight in a Monte Python movie🤣
