Hello there,

I, as many of you, have been devastated by our initial introduction to the this "dreadful disease, overwhelmed with "mixed emotions," dreaded being exposed, weary from trying to disguise "my head", tearful of "not the right color wig", "lethargic from heat/wig exposure", "afraid to sit in the sauna, whirlpool or hot tub with head expose", sickened by the needles, nauseated from the pills", the negative vibes never ends.

However, God has shown His mercy and His grace to me every step of the way. He was consoling and holding me when I refused any compassion from anyone else. I was tired of the facad " and began to deal with the loss of my hair. I have suffered for 20 + years with this distraction; but God............ I looked at myself in the beginning stages and felt that my "beauty" was gone forever - not realizing that beauty begins within. I gave in - but haven't given up.

I am married, out of the 19 years of marriage - my husband - has yet to see my "balding head". I am holding onto the hair from the middle of my head to my shoulders. My sides are extra thing and the top is practically bald.

I am believing God each and every day for total restoration of my hair and entire health. I know He can do anything but fail. He promises to be with His children through it all. He said it. I believe it.

So continue to be encouraged in the Lord, live a pleasing and pleasant lifestyle, stay hydrated, stay prayerful, live, love and laugh a lot- watching and listening for a cure for this dreadful distraction.

God, in His awesomeness has began to show me how to live and not just exist wit this disease. I once again, have basically accepted the fact that perhaps God, since He is who He is, in his infinite stance, have allowed me to suffer through this devastation in order to enoourage someone else.

So be encouraged and know that God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten S0n, so that whom so ever believed in Him should not perish -but have everlasting life.".

Life is to be lived abundantly. Buy a new hair piece. I am finding that I preer the short one.............
