take one woman with low self esteem, but quite good hair
add one moronic illness
stir in some medication which causes hair to fall out
mix it all up and this is what you get...

Health update
- My creatinine level is continuing to fall (Yay!)
- But it's still higher than it should be (Boo!)
- My haemoglobin level is rising (Yay!)
- But I'm still quite anaemic (Boo!)
- However, my iron level is good (Yay!)
- My inflammation marker is normal (Yay!)
- And the evil antibodies are no longer in my blood (Yay-a-rama!)
- In a couple of weeks time, I will stop taking my evil hair-fally-outy drug (Yay!)
- Although it's going to take a long time for my hair to look halfway decent again (Boo!)
- I will then start taking a different, less evil immune-suppressing drug (Yay?)
- But I'll need to keep taking it, and the steroids, for another 18 (yes, eighteen) months (Boo!)
- The evil hair-fally-outy drug has made my periods stop (Yay! and Boo!)
- This might mean that I'll have to have Hormone Replacement Therapy if they don't start again, to safeguard my bones (Boo!)
Overall, using the scientific Yay/Boo ratio, I make that 8 Yays and 6 Boos, so the Yays have it. In other words, my consultant is very happy with my progress.
