She does have alopecia and vitiligo and those 2 diseases went crazy when she had the Covid 19 virus. She also lost so much pigment in her skin because of the Covid 19 virus and the vitiligo. She was treated by her dermatologist and her hair grew back. Her hair came back 3 inches high on her head. She has just regrown her hair after having the Covid 19 virus. She was washing her hair and almost all of it fell out. She was asking if the Covid 19 vaccine did this. She wanted Pfizer to know this was what happened to her and she needeed to know if the vaccine caused her hair to fall out. She was fine until all her hair fell out in the last few weeks. Her hair literally fell out in droves. She did have a Covid 19 virus antibody test in Jul2020 and she did have antibodies. At the time she lost her hair because of the Covid 19 virus her dermatologist prescribed prednisone. She took the Prednisone 3 times a week to help calm down whatever was happening in her body.

First Covid 19 vaccine information was in the suspect product field. When probing why she decided to get the Covid 19 vaccine she said for prevention but also because she does have autoimmune disorders and she needeed to protect herself. Her daughter had the Covid 19 virus in Dec2020 and the caller had symptoms at that time of feeling sick and was really tired and she thought she could really contract the Covid 19 virus again. She decided to get the Covid 19 vaccine to help her not get the Covid 19 virus again. She experienced the hair loss with the second Covid 19 vaccine. Within three weeks of receiving the Covid 19 vaccine her hair started falling out. After receiving the second Covid 19 vaccine in May2021 her hair went from looking thin to now she's bald. When her hair fell out with the Covid 19 virus she had changed her diet to gluten and dairy free to see if her diet was something that caused her hair to fall out when she had the Covid 19 virus. After the diet change and medication treatment her hair started coming back and she lost 15 lbs.
