Hi all
Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to this group. I have female pattern baldness; started when i was 17. The process is soooooo slow, but continues. Sort of wish it'd just give up sometimes. I've cut my hair down to about 1/2 inch to quit tramatizing my scalp. It feels nice short. Once i get the guts, i can see going totally bald.
Oh, i'm 57 in a few weeks; and i'm currently from Allentown, PA.

Yes Marisa, us new comers need people who have come to be where you are. You are a very positive inspiration. What a gift you have to share, so much hope. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of where we came from too. You know...........gratitude, I know it works for me.

It would be wonderful to have such groups here. Although I do feel ready to go bald. My hair is much shorter than in the photo. Guess I need to post a new one :). I want to take advantage of the spring sun to get my bald noggin looking ok for the summer, oh vanity lol.

I've been looking at earrings a lot lately, trying to get ahead of the game before I shave. I've read Leslie Ann's book, it's filled with good information.

Thanks for dropping by Marisa, it's nice to chat with you. Have a peaceful evening.
Big Hugs
Marie

Hey Marie ...home and recovered from the holidays...hope you all are well. Went to my second alopecia meeting last Friday...met some adorable kids....both under 10...great attitudes....I told one of the ladies I was not sure why I was coming, since I am pretty much okay with this condition...and she kindly told me it is to inspire the rest of us...so that was pretty nice. Hope everyone is well.

Together there is hope.

An interesting read, yes. Especially the close genetic ties between AA and Celiac disease, diabetes, and RA. However, I will not hold my breath for any break through treatments any time soon. As the article points out, this disorder is largely viewed as a 'cosmetic' problem by the medical/research/pharmaceutical communities. The main reason this study was done at all was because the researcher/doctor herself has alopecia.

I hope each and everyone of you has a joyous holiday season.  I know for many the holidays are difficult so I pray this is NOT the case for you.  May your hearts be merry and light...and may 2011 be the year for miracles.  Blessings.  Marisa
