Overview
- Jonas says doctors initially attributed her symptoms to anxiety before a biopsy indicated Lyme disease.
- She first noticed significant hair loss and developed painful scalp eczema she believes was tied to inflammation.
- The hair loss was so distressing she considered a wig, and hair extensions worsened her irritated scalp.
- She reports occasional eczema flare-ups but says product and routine changes, including an NEA-approved detergent, have helped.
- She also describes reassuring daughters Alena, 11, and Valentina, 8, through their own eczema, noting Kevin Jonas had publicly mentioned her Lyme in 2024.
