Top Ten Things i Love / Hate about Alopecia
Love!
1. Only taking 5 minutes to get ready from being asleep and still looking good.
2. Not having to shave my face.
3. Not having to shave other things.
4. Plucking stray fuzz is relaxing.
5. Being able to kiss WITHOUT irritating your partner's lips with stubble.
6. Those moments when you can tell someone knows that something isn't right but they can't figure out what it is and they DONT say anything about it.
7. Looking the same Every day.
8. Having smoother skin than most women.
9. Being able to shower in 2 minutes or less and actually being clean
10. Having a wonderful community of great people to share my silly list with.
Hate!
1. Sweat running straight into my eyes because I have no eye brows which are otherwise usless to me!
2. The uncertainty of regrowth.
3. Looking the same every day.
4. Those moments when you can tell that someone knows that something isn't right about you and they DO say something.
5. Not being able to effectivly manage the look of "intruige" due to the ineffectively invisible eye brow raise.
6. Not being able to feel wind... or spiders on my skin. (seriously it's creepy when you see a spider crawling on you and you don't know how long it's been there)
7. People thinking you have cancer.
8. The days when every bath or shower yeilded a cornicopia of loose hair, or when even sitting on a chair left a treasure trove of DNA leaving strands. (not recomended for AA people to commit murders, not with the CSI team hanging around)
9. Worrying if your hair is covering your bald spots constantly.
10. Partial Eye Brows.. enough said.

Good list Eric, Some made me laugh, even a few in the "Hate" column ;) and other made me realize just how special it is to be able to say... "same here!" for a change.
You have a good sense of humor keep sharing it with us :)

I'm with Cheryl -- I have to admit, I thought this list was funny, and then I stopped and saw just how true it was!!! The "looking the same every day" in both columns was great!!!
Keep sharing the things you love and hate -- I'm sure there are more and I LOVE the fact that I can say "Me too!!!" :)

Great list! I agree, Partial eyebrows suck...I have AA and lost my right eyebrow 2 weeks before Senior pictures.

Love the list! Everything is so true. All my friends and sorority sisters are so jealous that I have never had to shave my legs...ever. Even when my hair grows back, it has never grown on my arms or legs. They also hate the fact that my hair looks great everyday and all I have to do is put it on.

Love!
That both me and rj get to caress each other heads when we are driving in the car, his daughters think it is hilarious. But it is something that is between us. Being that it is not every woman that he could do that with, it kind of makes it special :)

Yeah I'm with you on that one too!
My dad went through separation anxiety when I was about to go off to college for the first time (never mind the fact that he worked at the college I attended and I was only moving on campus!) Because I was bald as a baby and he put me to sleep by rubbing my bald head, he would come in at night when he got off work and rub my head just like he used to. Later, when my head would really itch and burn because alopecia is an inflammatory condition as well, he would sit and rub my head to make it feel better. So, I would have to add, "Being Daddy's living, breathing Buddha statue" one of the things I love!
I miss my Daddy!!

lol.
I agree - I have somewhat of a hair phobia after years of not having hair. Hair in my food especially, but both of my ex house mates shed like there was no tomorrow - hair in my room, hair in my bed, hair on my clothes - drove me mad!!!

Love the list. The one thing that really hits home is looking the same everyday, it would be nice once in a while to go with a different hair style or color.
Got to love that sweat running straight into the eye...ah that good old stinging sensation!
