So, uh, how about those Oscars? I’m not going to go into detail on Will Smith’s slap heard ‘round the world (if you somehow missed it, catch up here), but there is one part in all of this that does deserve some more attention: What it’s like to live with alopecia, a disorder that leads to extreme hair loss. Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about being diagnosed with the condition in 2018, saying that it “was terrifying when it first started … I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh, my God, am I going bald?’” Senior reporter Catherine Pearson explained what people often get wrong about the condition, why it can be stigmatized and more facts that are worth understanding. Give it a read, then keep scrolling for new info on long COVID, plus some enlightening insight on how your pharmacist can help you with a ton of healthcare needs. ❤️, Lindsay |
