Thirty years ago I suffered an anaphylactic shock. It was fairly mild as I didn't lose consciousness but I came close. I was rushed to the nearest hospital where a quick check found that my blood pressure was dangerously low. I was given cetirizine hydrochloride to combat the allergic reaction.
I don't know for certain what caused the sudden attack but I suspect that one of my work colleagues put something in my drink.
Anyway, I recovered within minutes but six months later all my hair follicles were dead. My hair was falling out in clumps. I lost every hair on my body and my fingernails were cracking. A consultant told me that I was lucky because an anaphylactic shock such as I'd experienced can cause the autoimmune system to attack anything or everything. For me, it chose the keratin-producing cells. But it could have attacked the pancreas (type 1 diabetes), the myelin sheath around nerves (multiple sclerosis), the heart valves or many other things.
So, a warning: having a "faint" after an injection might sound like nothing but it could be life-changing.

Did your hair follicles recover?
I had a major accident 10 years ago and most of my hair fell out but it came back.
The specialist said it was the worst he'd ever seen and the follicles were dead. I have "bald man's fuzz" on top. (If you look at any bald person, he has very fine fuzz on his head. Well that's what grew back for me after 3 decades.)
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.
I probably chose it as part of this life's purpose. (Reincarnation is real.)
I had the 'rona pretty badly in around March 2020. the interesting this is that I am 45-50 and have thinning hair and male pattern baldness. As soon as I got better I had stubble on my head in the widow's peak area where I had gone bald. That hair has now grown back thinly, it's at about about 20% density and not very visible.
It happened suddenly after I got ill and my conclusion was that my testosterone levels had dropped because the 'rona had attacked my testes. I did notice a reduction in normal drive. I think the drop in testosterone may have reversed the area of baldness. The spike proteins seem to do all sorts of damage.
It could possibly have been the extra zinc I take though, it does support hair growth.
^^^ Likewise. I started to grow fuzz on my head after the 'rona and I'd started taking zinc not long before that. Zinc seems to be key.
