    Did you get any patches, or just thinning overall? Are you planning on getting wigs? I just had my eyebrows done today. I couldn't take working out and swimming and not having them anymore. I think they're going to turn out pretty good.

    Hi Claire!
    You are lovely as well, and it's wonderful that you have come to terms with au! As I have. By the way, I LOVE your dogs and cat! Did you see the pix of mine?
    Hugs!

    I have two Persians -- the flat faced one and the one under the tree -- Brando and Zsa Zsa. Huey is a Peke/Papillon mix I think. He was a rescue, as was Zsa Zsa.

    It actually went well. I was surprised because I didn't feel a thing. No pain or swelling the next day. It takes a little bit for the color to lighten, so they are on the darker side right now. You draw yours on great! I just couldn't take wiping them off all the time.

    Hiya Claire,
    Just a quick message to say good luck with Henry today, I will be thinking of him. Going to miss you this week, it won't be the same without you. The christening was great, will tell you all when I see you. Hope you didnt miss me too much yesterday, its all I could think of in the afternoon I can tell you.
    Anyway, will be thinking of you today, dont worry too much, Henry will be fine, and you have caught it before it gets too big, bless him, ......take care and try not to worry about the old fella.
    Love, Joan. xxxx

    Hey Claire,
    Love the new look to your page, pretty in pink eh?
    I missed you at the park today, but I met up with David and Jess, and we had a good run with the dogs.
    We had hoped you might turn up with Izzy tonight, but I guess you are busy looking after your poorly Henry.
    I laughed my head off when you shouted from the car, I heard you say, 'you were going to pick up Henry'. I answered, 'are you going to the park', and then everything was lost in the traffic noise. Sorry I couldnt hear you.
    I just received your new mobile number too, thanks for that.
    Let me know by text if you are going to the park with Izzy tomorrow, or are you going to stay away until Henry has recovered. I know you said you would stay away, but we miss you loads and cant wait to see you again. Give Henry a big love from me, wont you. I hope everything went well with his operation, and that he recovers soon.
    Cant wait to hear from you or see you again. DO let me know wont you!?
    Lots of love...xx
  • JOAN

    I was all on my ownsome today, I went early, and stayed til 5.50pm, it was damp too. My jeans were soaked.
    Didnt see many people, not even the fruit-bat, but the keeper (with the glasses) asked after you.
    I hope Henry is well, and his eye is getting better daily, give Izzy a love from me, hope to see you soon.

    Hi Claire - First of all, your animals are precious - I am a huge animal lover. I know what you are going through with dating, it is difficult dating period but having an extra issue such as lack of hair makes it a tad more difficult. I was dating someone when I got AA and boy he dumped me pretty quickly. There are some very shallow people out there but I have found that most guys are ok with it. You are a beautiful woman and I am sure you will find your match soon. Well, I just wanted to say hello and hope to get the opportunity to chat with you further.
  • Silje H Teig

    Thanks! So do you:) It is so nice ot read your blogs... I hope you are having a nice evening.
  • JOAN

    Hi there,
    Just a quick note to you, before I get ready for work.
    I love listening to you, you have always such great stories to tell me. I could be there hours!!! My family think I have deserted them.
    Hope you had a good night out with Martin last night and you stuffed yourself.......You will have to tell me all!!!!!
    He helped me download the music I asked you about, isnt that sweet. I will have to give him a few more, so my list will look impressive, but will do that when I can remember the songs, and who sang them, my memory is bad......!!!!!
    Anyway Claire, see you later, looking forward to it.
    Have a good day, d'ya hear?
    Love, Joan. xx
  • JOAN

    Hi Claire,
    Got home at 6.45. Poor Knute is knocked out. She walked lovely all the way - bless. I laughed when I heard you shout my name, I thought for a minute, it was a pupil from school calling me. You are funny.
    Enjoy yourself tonight and I will text you after my meeting tomorrow, to let you know what time I will be there. Sorry it may be late though, you know meetings, they can go on sometimes.
    Anyway, take care, see you tomorrow.
    Have a good night.
    Lots of love, Joan. xx

    You look fantastic bald, and in a headscarf.
    My beautiful wife is bald with alopecia universalis. Like you, she is gorgeous, and has the feminine features to look good bald.

    Hi Claire,
    I am so sorry about your dog. I just lost mine too about a month ago.
    Your pets are so cute. Is the black one a Shitzu or Lhaso Apso? My mother has one identical to yours named "Pookie".

  • Cheryl, Co-founder

    Hi Claire, On thing I am learning, if rj has his camera... don't do anything you wouldn't want someone else to see. :). We have a lot of fun together as well as a serious devotion to Alopecia World. I am so glad it has expanded to something more than just "chatting" but also a tool of coping and discovery. I would also like to thank you for all of your input, blogs, comments. You and so many other members have really made a difference on this site and you say it has helped you, but I also see how you have truly shared your life and helped other. Thanks Claire.
  • Cheryl, Co-founder

    BTW, you have incredible eyes!
