Hi Claire, I am doing well, thank you so much for checking in on me :o). I have my fingers crossed for you on your hair and also so sad to hear about your puppy. I know exactly the feelings you are having. I had to put my dog of 16 years down for heart conditions and her sister 2 years before that due to kidney shut down. They are your babies and the loss is great. People who are not animal lovers sometimes cannot understand the grief that we go through for our animals. I now have a 2 year old Maltese, Toby, who keeps me very very busy lol. Well, I hope that you are doing well aside from your loss and again, I am very sorry. I hope that you have a nice weekend!! :O)

How are you? I see you have regrowth. I know you must be so excited.

Hi Claire! I'm doing well - how are you? I actually wear bandanas like 95% of the time. I've come to prefer comfort to wearing the wig. :o)

Hi Claire,
How are you doing -- I just read about you losing your doggie.
I totally understand how you feel. My soul-mate cat, Clifford, was hit by a car at only 7 years old. I wanted to die too -- I lost 20 pounds and grieved for years. Never gained the weight back, either. Let me know if you need to talk.
I'm very happy you like the book -- big hugs to you.

Hi Claire,
Yes doing well, how are you how long have you been dealing with Alopecia? How is the regrowth going is it still falling out> I've had total regrowth for the last 6 months but can see that it starting to fall out again in spots uggh what a rollercoaster.

Claire...
I just took a moment and looked at all you lovely pictures. What a wonderful assortment of head wraps you have!
It never ceases to amaze me, how incredibly strikingly beautiful we all are without hair. ( I havent posted any dome pics yet, but I will)
I look forward to keeping in touch with you over our dating mishaps!

Aug 7, 2008
Elizabeth

Yes its a wig. Humar hair cost me a fourtune! Plus I have had my eyebrows tatoo'd on. Very hard to see my baldness when Im in disguise!
I see that you are an animal person, as I am myself. I wish that all humankind could act more like animals in so many ways. The unconditional love and affection they give is irreplacable.

Good luck tomorrow! Keep me posted!

Hi Claire! Well, I've been taking lors of VitD. It came to a complete stop for a few months. Seems like I might be losing it behind the ears, but it's very gradual. How about you?

hi, claire,

you sound like fun!!!! I must admit over the years I've had a mixed response from men but generally the good guys are cool about it!!! (I've met and been out with at least 4 men whilst i've been wearing a wig although I didnt go out bald at all then, might be different!)

Hi Claire

Really enjoyed meeting you on Saturday, how did the radio chat go this morning, I wasn't able to listen cause I was working. I've been searching on the net for info about eyelash implants and there doesn't appear to be an awful lot of info. I suppose I could go back to my GP, - always been a waste of time up till now.

Anyway hope you had a good weekend, ( I can't imagine you didn't) and I hope to catch up with you soon, maybe on 22nd of November if not before.

I can't come to Redditch market cause I'm working all week that week.

I'd love to come along on a 'bald girls do lunch' type of get together in the near future, so keep me updated on your plans.

Thanks Claire, you're an inspiration.

Of course, you know we can all commiserate. So nice to finally have someone to talk to. Since I have first started this whole thing I have never known anyone else with it until now!

Hi Claire,
I am doing pretty well. Thanks for asking. How have you been?
I am supposed to meet up with another fellow alopecian Saturday and try on wigs. I am very excited yet a little nervous.
How are the puppies? Your little black dog looks so much like my mother's Shitzu, Pookie.
How is the weather over there in England? I love the fall here in Georgia. It has finally cooled down!! Our summers have been a little unbearable. So, I am looking forward to winter. Take care.

Claire, looking for the stuff about a guy with info on your page, can't find it?

Hi Claire
I read the blog about you starting up a group, and it mentioned that you have eyelashes that last up to six months, I would love to hear about them, its the thing I miss most. Any advice or links would be gratefully received.
Your blogs about the guys you meet, really make me laugh, and just shows that people are influenced by looks, especially men.

Hi Claire,

Good to see you too yesterday. Your wig was lovely, I'm thinking of getting one of my older human hair wigs cut into that style, give it a new lease of life. (you always seem to look good whatever you have or don't have on your head), Whenever I've asked about shorter styles before, nobody wants to cut my wigs short but it sounds like pnk will do that, bingo !!
I hope to make it on 5th December. Keep me updated on whats happening.

Take care of yourself.

hiya Claire, plzd to meet you. Great to hear about the meet ups happening in your area. They are such a tonic. I remember how utterly scared I felt on my way to my first one and when it finished i couldnt wait for the next one. In fact we just didnt want to go home. Wishing you every success. x

Hey Claire, Thanks for dropping by and for the support! How are you?

Cheryl, Co-founder

Claire, Thanks again for mention Alopecia World. What is more important than you just mention Alopecia World is the fact that you feel it is an important support source. Let us know if there is anything that you need.

Take care,
