Married At First Sight‘s Elizabeth Sobinoff is an inspiration.
Lizzie, who suffers from Porphyria and a form of Lupus opened up about one of the side affects of her illness and treatment via her Instagram account on Monday.
The 28-year-old reality star shared a photo of her hair loss, alongside a lengthy caption about her condition.
“I’ve wanted to do this for a while, post this picture,” she began.
“Back and forth I heard the comments of many of you talking the chit chat about my hair. Also, how often I change it up. I have periods in a flare up where I lose my hair.
“It’s horrendous when this happens. I used to cry and scream and shout because I didn’t know why I was waking up with clumps in my bed. This happens to many people out there suffering from chronic illness.”
The MAFS star admitted to having “no real attachment to my hair” and hoped her followers and those who suffer from similar conditions to embrace their journey.
“I just don’t want people to be ashamed of these things. Much love and respect to you out there,” she said.
