    Hi Carman,
    I know how hard it can be -- I think you are going about things the right way. Consider getting my book -- I talk about the situation you're in. You can check it out on my page and order from the web site/link, or on Amazon. Let me know if I can help in any way...

    When the time comes, you will know its right.

    My entire family has seen me... lol I laugh cause my mom always insists that she sees hair growing.. But, I know she is just saying that to be nice... I love them so...

    Hi there - nice to meet you! I am in Australia - I live without a wig - I am too lazy/cant be bothered with the heat - people are SO nice to me - my husband actually kind of prefers me without my hair and a wig as it has made me unique!!! my decision not to wear a wig was not one I made over night but rather over a year or so.... I now hardly even think about Alopecia - and at times wonder why people are looking at me.... then I remember - email me any time!!

    Your friend

    Hi Carmen, How are you? You know I use to think and wonder what people would think of me with out hair. But, i have came to the relazation of Why should I worry about other people? Im not afraid of going out in plublic, I care less who see's my head. But if your hubby loves you, it will be only matter of time when you can break that barrier to show him. Im going to culinary school this fall. I dont know how you can manage working in a wig. wow you must be tough. I would have ripped it off and be done with it reguardless who see it. Im all about my comfort, I choose not to wear hair I dont like being hot and sweaty YUCK!!!! any way if you want to talk im around. take care of you kat
