Cures. Yikes!

Hey guys,
I wanted to get this out to people. I know there isn't a cure out there but there are many treatments out there which say they can cure alopecia. I have done my fair share of them in the past and sadly I still got that shinning head. And my mental health really hit rock bottom because I hoped that my hair would grow back. And I would like to tell people its in your right to try cures but make sure your mind is prepared for it. I don't know for anyone else but personally I put in too much hope of my hair growing back in the past. Too much hope sometimes that I fall down bad.Thus one reason to why I say alopecia I can handle it. Cures I run a mile in the opposite direction. It got to the point where I couldn't look at shampoo bottles anymore and I hated seeing those bottle which said it helped reduce hair loss. The only thing that got me back from t he dark side was my dad.He looked at me and if I could I would give you my hair and I would live with your condition. I want you to be happy. And that's what everyone of you should be is happy come what may. I know you miss your hair but don't give up and even if you don't try cures. You have the power to help other people cope or even starting your own group which tries to kick the doctors to get started on that research. And when you try cures make sure its because you want it not anyone else. I had a friend trying to force cures down my throat every moment she could. And it was horrible. Now you guys know my weakness. I ain't all perfect nor will I ever be. But at least I am happy. But I got better with looking at cures. I glare at them now.. Sorry people I am a gone case but I can support people if they want that cure as long as it makes you happy and its what you want to do. I only disagree with cures is because I hate scams and people who play around with people's feeling to get money. Be weary people of those who scam. Find out if someone has tried it and if they were any results. Do your homework on it and if it works for ya. I am happy for you. Now you know my adventure with cures? how did yours go? P.s worse cure ever. Witch doctor. Don't ever visit one. Run a mile or 100000 if you see one.

Well, my alopecia took my hair in years where there were pets in the family, when I had stress from family, when I moved to a place with a new water source, and when I started pills that changed my hormones. My hair grew back when I partied and drank more wine and beer (college), and when I was pregnant with my children (hormones). Now, I am older and going through menopause: have had totalis (after AU), for about 12 years. What is your conclusion, hm???

I conclude that your "menopause" is just a gap in dating guys (definition from the Norm English Dictionary) .... and now it's time to get out there again! But, the AT is a positive tool in your quest for the Man Who Can - it means those who hang around, Don't Care About The Hair, and are more interested in you as a person. So there.

Tan B: tell us more about this Witch Doctor! - such as, WHY did you you visit one? I mean, you're not even a witch, so why did you think it'd work??? ... er, or are you...? ;)

You're just spoiled for choice, really, aincha? - f'rinstance, radiology and Denny's... that's a bit of a weird combo.... still, best to cover all the bases, eh? :)

Sigh. What am I going to do with you unruly children?

I had the Meat Lover's Scramble.

No sequins. And, RoBB? I am taken. Just pausin' on the OTHER men! Sorry!

Also, yes, female hormones can affect a lot of things...too bad, at my age and longevity of AT, hair on the top of my head is not one of those things.

autosuggestion... if peeps tell you something often enough, you start to believe it. Might be why I believe I'm fab.... ahem :)

Norm: Grooooooooooooaaaaannnnn!
Tan B: Parents do all they can and all everyone suggests to help us with this, not even stopping sometimes to ask us, in our innocent years, how we feel inside about being poked and prodded for alopecia experiments. That's why I used to cry...I felt like some experiment instead of a young, desirable woman.

One of the most memorable dermatologists I consulted called me "the second most sexy bald woman" he knew. The first was his wife, who had AU. This made him exceptionally credible in my eyes, for if there were any cures out there, he certainly would have known about them! I heeded his advice to stop seeking treatment and to seek acceptance. The journey to accept being hairless has lasted 40 years....I think I'm almost there. ;)

Couldnt agree more with you Tan B. There are many treatments out there but there is no cure yet at this moment. Whether the cure will discovered in our lifetime or not, we should just live our lives to the fullest without fear and anger. Know that life is beautiful with and without hair, if there is a scientifically proven cure out there, why not? If there is not, I will just be myself and show to the world that I can live and still be happy without hair. Of course, the journey with alopecia is never easy all time, smooth sailing and always blue skies but nevertheless I am not alone and that is good to know. :)
