Hi Wendyrayburn, We just wanted to say welcome new friend!

Hi Wendy, and welcome!! I hope you find all the love and support you need here in our community!!!

I have a very rare autoammuine condition called wegeners granolomatosis that also causes me to completely bald. I am from TENNESSEE.

Hi Wendy,
How interesting. Will your hair grow back, or do you know?
I've been bald for about 20 years.

Good for you! Me too!

Wow Wendy it is nice to find someone that is so close. I have been trying to find others in the West Tennessee area to see if there was any kind of support group. Your auto immune disease sounds really different. I looked up the disease and it sounds like you are having a really tough time. Are you seeing a local doctor? My daughter also has an auto immune disease. She is 17 and she has lupus. She was diagnosed when she was 13. She really doesn't have a lot of problems with it as long as she gets her rest which is tough because she is so active. I have to stay on her pretty hard but she does pretty good until basketball season. She is an athlete. I am so glad that you found me and I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Wendy,

Welcome to Alopecia World.

Hi Wendy. Where in Tennessee are you from? My husband and I were just looking online at a house for sale there not far from Nashville.

Hi Wendy, it was nice to get your comment. I am seeing a dermatologist in Nashville that has been a true blessing to me. So far after 4 injections ( 1 every 6 weeks) I have almost full growth. He has told me not to get my hopes up to high because after we stop the injections I could lose it all again and I am only allowed 6 injections but I am putting my faith in him and in prayer. I am come to the realization that there are a lot of worse things in life I could lose besides my hair. It is funny how at the beginning of this journey I thought that this was the most tragic thing that could happen and now it's like "oh well whatever". Yes my daughter does play for West Carroll. We were at the game Thursday night. Do you know Coach Greer? He has been at W.C. for about 4 or 5 years now and my daughter and his are good friends. We are president of the booster club so we have a very close relationship with the Greers. Is that your daughter in the picture above? She looks familiar. Does she play basketball? Oh well I have chatted long enough and I need to get ready for church. I will check with you later. Have a blessed day.

Thanks for the compliment Wendy!

Hey Wendy...not a whole lot going on in Nashville for me...just working and trying to survive this economy. I hope you're doing alright...it's good to hear from you. Have an awesome weekend!

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for the add! How are you? Curious- how did a Tennessee girl become a steeler fan?

Hope you had a great weekend!
