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.

I've wanted to do this for awhile, post this picture. Back and fourth I heard the comments off 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 loose my hair. So although many out there were losing sleep over my hair extensions ( they were funny to look at sometimes, must admit, loved the comments of 'she thinks she looks natural' my style then was to look as far from natural loves) and in blinks of an eye I'm short or have long black hair. I loose my hair occasionally and 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 or treatments. I'm talking here about my own personal experience, and why I have no real attachment to my hair. Why I like to change it up so often. So to my loves loosing the locks right now due to illness, although it varies how much we loose, I understand how upsetting it can be. I just don't want people to be ashamed of these things. Much love and respect to you out there.

“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.
