Hey welcome, hows it going?

Hi Gabrielle, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder

I'm doing ok. :) Feeling a little bit bummed after my 2nd dermatologist visit yesterday. I think I'm done doing these injections. So did your regrowth happen naturally or were you doing some treatments?

Yes, definitely celebrate the regrowth you have now. Don't be worried about the future. ;) Yes, I have alopecia areata. It's spreading very quickly for me. Within about 4 days I had my first 5 spots...2 of them are the biggest ones I have. It's now been 3 weeks and the last time I actually counted I had something like 15 or 16 spots. I stopped looking and counting though, because a friend from this site told me I shouldn't let it obsess me. ;)

Hey
In your picture are you the one on the left or right?
Do you have a lot of regrowth? I have AA and decided to shave the rest off- but now i have what my family and friends call "peach fuzz". Its like you have to look in a mirror and be in the light to see it but i think its coming back- is that what it started like for you???

Good luck with the regrowth,

carly

Yeah they are definitely getting bigger. At this point though, only 2 are really big. The others aren't too bad...no bigger than a golf ball size.

Hi Gabrielle
I'm glad you found alopecia world! It was nice meeting your mom at Palopecia. Hopefully we'll see you next time.

Hey Gabrielle! Congrats on the regrowth! :)

Hope it keeps coming in -- sometimes you get it once and then it grows back and never falls out again!

hey
im doing good- howabout u? Where do you get your wigs from?

I'm good thanks, just busy with work...but i need money so I can't complain too much.

Thank you! If you need help, let me know! I have a new book out that has lots of good info in it -- you can read about it on my page...
Hugs, LeslieAnn

Yeah, but when you get a little older you have even more stuff to pay for so enjoy being the age you are now. haha.

Alright, I'm going to bed cause I gotta work early tomorrow...Hope you have a good week...

Hello there :)

How is your three day weekend going??

The weather here in Northern California is really great!!!

How is Canada?? I have always wanted to travel there!!!

I love your picture its cute!!

Hi Gabrielle..well they're thinking universalis because I'm losing it EVERYWHERE. How about you?

hi - ya i do- but not in my picture
I get mine for free from children with hairloss-
How old are you?

Hi there, I have AU too! Keep up the positive thoughts and keep smiling beautiful!

It was grat! Nice and relaxing.... Went for a bike ride and swimming...
Good times..... Our weather is in the 70's now.. But soon it will be in the 100's. Then that means its time to go to the lakes or beaches :)

Hey..People that see me everyday..like co-workers and stuff have noticed...but not my friends that I see every couple of weeks. They couldn't believe I didn't have any eyebrows. I've been drawing them and took them off and they couldn't believe the difference. So you have AU? How much did you lose? How long was it gone before it began to grow back? Did/do you wear wigs?

Hey
I'm 12 yrs old, and ive just had AA for about a year

In your picture is that your sister or your friend?

Hi Gabrielle! Thanks for your kind compliments! You sure know how to make a girl's day! To answer your question, I've had some form of Alopecia most of my life. No hair at all until I was 2, then normal carrot top until I was 8, then AA, then remission and spurts of AA then when I was 16/17 it happened again, and since that time I've been AU (Alopecia Universalis - no hair anywhere at all). And yes it did totally suck having it come and go, but now that I've been AU for so long I really don't at all. These days I have "hair" that is the envy of all my friends ;-)

Remember to always look on the bright side and where a smile!!!! It's great to "meet" you!

Hey Gabrielle, how is everything going with you since the last time I sent you one of these?

I'm doing really well. Are you done with school for the summer?

Good luck with the exam, at least you know when you're done with it that you'll be free for the summer. Got any big plans for it?

I don't really have any big plans. Basically work. For two weeks I work at a summer camp and I pretty much get paid to be a kid and attend camp (and make sure nothing goes wrong) but I act just like the kids there, it's a lot of fun. So I'm looking forward to that even though this year I won't have hair so I'm not looking forward to having to explain it to everyone there.

And theres a few concerts I'm going to. So I guess I do kinda have plans huh? haha
