Yvonne's results with Q for Skin
Article in Hemmets Veckotidning magazine:
When Yvonne Lohela went on sick leave for burnout in the fall of 2011, she was struck by yet another problem after a while.
"I developed a thick coating on my scalp. It hurt and burned," says Yvonne, an accounting consultant who lives with her husband and three children in Strömsund.
She hoped for as long as possible that the symptoms would disappear on their own, but after a year she sought medical attention and was referred to the dermatology clinic at the hospital. Various cortisone preparations were prescribed, but nothing helped.
- I tried five different cortisone ointments that were to be rubbed into the scalp, and each time I hoped that it would get better.
In addition to the scalp problem being painful, the treatment took a lot of time.
- It felt like everything revolved around it. I spent several hours moisturise scalp, washing my hair, and then removing the flakes.
All of this had a negative effect on her mood. Yvonne felt drained of strength and energy and did not have the energy to be as social as she wanted to be.
When the cortisone creams did not help, she tried light therapy, which also did not produce results. Another option that was discussed was low-dose chemotherapy.
- This went on for two years and it was, of course, very difficult. In the end, there was nothing more to be done and I was told that I would have to live with these problems. It felt hopeless.
