Hi Liselle-thanks for the friend request, new to this whole Alopecia experience, but finding great support on this site! Tracy

Hi Liselle,

Thank you for the lovely gift. My photo was the first time I showed the world my head and to have such a lovely comment from you made it that little bit easier.

Hopefully chat soon,
Emma x

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Have a nice day xxx

Hi Liselle,
Hope you are doing well. I believe the colour for Codi is Ginger brown. It has been a while since I have worn her, but she was lovely.
Hope this helps.

Hi Liselle,
You are very kind and made my day!! Hope you like Codi, I loved that cut. Happy Valentine's day! Have a good one,
Jenn

Happy Valentines Day Liselle!

Thanks Liselle for following my blogs and for your kind words! I hope that you find strength in reading blogs and comments and talking with friends on AW, I know that it has helped me immensely! If you need to talk or advice, let me know!

Thank you liselle.....

Hi Liselle! Thank you for inviting me. My profile pic is one I use on internet accounts and my phone. Its actually from a brand of detergent now defunct called 'Mr Proper', and I thought the image wasnt far off what I looked like, and people over here of a certain age recognise it and get a laugh from it. Hope alls well with yourself in Van Diemens Land. Im actually trying to emigrate there at the moment, as the economy has gone to shite in Ireland. So I may be joining you all down under soon in the quest for the perfect sun hat!Anyway chat soon, new to this site so hoping to meet a few fellow baldies!We are the next step in evolution!

Liselle, thank you for hearing my rant and caring. If you asked my husband he would say that I rant, but when it came right down to it I would do the right thing and that I always do. But, wow, all of you understand how I really feel!

Thank you, Liselle. Are you still working up to the wig?

:) thanks so much for your lovely comments :)
always good to hear from another Aussie and you seem absolutely lovely :P
have the best day ever :D

Thanks for the info about wig support, great site!

Hey :)
Yeah, this will be my third proper wig. I got my first one going into high school. I am comfortable without it now, but I still like to have them. I'm really lucky to be able to get it.
Being an Aussie alopecian, you may be interested - wigs have GST! Our government doesnt recognise suction-based wigs as medical prosthesis. They're considered asthetic. So there is a 10% tax on an already expensive item. Being that theres no cure, and not really any other treatment for hairloss, that's just wrong.
the Princess Charlotte alopecia foundation has a letter to the PM on their site for people suffering hair loss to send to ask for action.
Its so hard for women with such a misunderstood condition, and to have our government taxing us on a medical issue... its unfair.

Thank u for adding me! I also have the dreaded female pattern hairloss...and have straggly strands left. Get up the courage, girlfriend, and wear a wig. Yes, admittedly, it does take courage at first. Esp. when you go places that you see people who used to see you with the nightmare on your head (our head!!) I find that the only real hard part. Really hard. But get one, go have fun, try on at a local shop...then remember what you saw, and color and order online..soooo much cheaper...then go somewhere you know no one, and wear it....to get up some confidence. Let me know how it goes!!!

Hi Liselle! Things are good! No major updates to post, but thanks for reminding me to do a blog soon. Hope that things are good on your end!

Hi Liselle... thanx for your concern...l have been well and behaving most of the time ,lol..I can still disguise my patches for now .. but l hate it when l have to brush it and see all the hair that's falling out .( Might just leave it and get some dreadlocks ..lol) . I always try and see the humour in any situation and l think that's what gets me through this .. l will keep in touch and let you know how things are .. Hope all is well on your side .look forward to hearing from you : )

Hey liselle
thanks ,but i feel thick for asking her name when it was on the top of the vid,my only defence is that it disappears when its played .Anyway nice to meet you and if you wouldn't mind would you keep me updated on melissa's progress.

thank you for the kind message on my picture :)

Hi Liselle.. hope you are well... l haven't been on for a while.. Went to my dermatologist today.. more needles .. although l feel like l am fighting a loosing battle, l am still able to disguise my patches by putting my hair up and using a product called Toppik , its like a powder to give your hair a fuller look.. This group is great , although l don't write much or comment its helping me , there are so many remarkable people , there stories just inspire me ... anyway hope you have a great weekend and keep smiling : )

Hi again Liselle. summer in Melbourne, has been wet wet wet and very humid, l lived on the gold coast for 6 months in the 1990 and it was very similar, the weather this weekend has been beautiful so far , but as they say in Melbourne beautiful one day skitso the next .
As for my needles , l have been getting them since 2001 and really they don't bother me at all .. l must have a thick scalp .. well that's what l tell my dermatologist .. l always give him a laugh when l am there , hes giving me needles and l am talking about how his week has been, l must say , l do have a high tolerance to pain
l know l shouldn't complain as l have told you l can disguise my patches by putting my hair up, but l cant wear it down anymore , l have always been very carefree person and love my hair down. l have been thinking of a hair piece , see what happens , might just shave it and put some very nice tattoos on my head .. lol might write on it , l am ok its ALOPECIA , that would turn some heads ..lol. like l said l am not going to let this get me down, but don't get me wrong l understand , completely
how you feel.
I hope you don't stay home for what is going on , everyone is fighting some kind of battle , but we are alive to fight it , trust me with this , lf there comes a time where l do loose all of my hair , l would go out nude , well you know what l mean by nude lol, actually my friends always say to me that it surprise them that l haven't shaved of my hair many years a ago. I know its not easy, in 2000 l had a major nervous breakdown, and l went down so low that l didn't think the sun would come out again, but it did ,l went through 4 yrs of counseling and very supportive friends and family the sun is staying out , like they say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger .
What part of qld are you from ? A very good friend of mine lives in cairns , she is an amazing person, anyway think l might go have a coke now ,lol , keep in touch and take care : )

Hi Liselle!
I really like your attitude. If you want to wear a wig, then I hope you build up the courage to do it as soon as possible.
God bless,
Larry

l think l would make a great Julia Gillard .... red is just my colour at the moment lol : )

Hi hun

I am a bit of a lurker at times too - especially on here. I am more active on some of the other places.

I am studying history - research methods using the Victorian census. It's a 10 week short course, so I thought: "Oh that won't be too bad", but it's turned into major workload!! I finish it soon though... just got to push myself for the next couple of weeks to get the assignment done and I will be freeeeeeeeeeee hehehe.

How are you doing?

xx

Hi Liselle!
I would love to dive on the Great Barrier Reef - it has virtually everything that salt water has to offer in terms of ocean life. I've not had any experiences with sharks, so that alone would make me interested. Here in America, only four divers are killed by sharks per decade in US costal waters. It has been that way since they started keeping records in the fifties. It's surfers and swimmers they go after probable b/c they resemble things they do like to eat. Also, we don't taste very good to them - we're too boney.
I'll bore you with other stories later.
God bless,
Larry

ur welcome and thanks i got my friends n family for support.
hope ur doing okay. :)

hi Liselle good attitude

Hi my friend! Just poppin in to say hello! Love the new pics!! Wish I looked that good with a santa hat on! haha!

I can't wait for my road trip! I am going to the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY. Not sure if you know what this is, but it is horse racing and everyone gets dressed up and the women wear these big hats! I have my hat, I just have to put it all together, I can't wait! I will post pictures for sure! I am hoping to have my spring/summer wig in time to wear it at derby. I am going shopping with my mom on the 9th!

Thank You Liselle, I tried to wish just my friends on here that are listed as single a happy Valentines Day thinking that some of them might not have anyone to do that and I realized I had 146 friends on here and most of them are single…maybe a nice general e-mail next time :)

Hi Liselle, I hope you didn't take my earlier comment about getting a wig as meaning I think you should wear one. What I advocate is doing what you want - not what other people want or expect you to be or to do.
When I was in college and well into my twenties I'd wear wigs of different colors and styles as well as going out and about bald (I'd shave off what would grow). Now this was kinda unusual at least for a heterosexual man, but I found that I dated more and it not only gave me something to help reach out to people in my Christian ministry, the girls just liked my different looks and it made a statement about feeling good enough about myself that I also liked others who had self esteem issues. Anyway I truly want what's best for you, and if you aren't doing or looking like you want to I sure hope you have the support you need to do and be Liselle! I think you'll be beautiful shaved bald, partly bald, wigged, part time wigged or multi-wigged.
God bless,
Larry

Hey liselle ... just thought l would drop in and say g'day... hope you are well : )

Thanks for the wig site, they do have great prices!

Thanks for the ribbon Liselle, I'd put it in my hair if I had any...

Hey there .. been a wile thought l would drop in and say G'day...hope you are well : )

You just made my day with your lovely comment to my profile! Yes, AW is so wonderful because it makes us realize we're not alone on this journey.

Ah, those 4 wigs I bought....I gave one (my favorite, that I'm wearing in my Alternatives to Wearing a Wig video) to a friend with cancer, and she wore it all the time for over a year. I gave another one to another woman. One wig died an ignominious death after accidentally being dropped from my car in a supermarket parking lot (road kill), and the only one I still own is stuck somewhere in my closet - I haven't seen it in about 2 years. ( ;-) Mary

Thanks Liselle,
it's such a weird condition to have. Before being diagnosed i just thought old men went bald! It's been two years and i've just found this site. I'm really happy because it's nice to have other people dealing with the same stuff.

Liselle, don't palpitate !! Easy, easy..it is just a wig!! LOL. Yes, I feel the prodigy is poufy for me, since my normal real hair is and was always totally flat on my head, and fine, thin hair. Don't get me wrong, it is a cute wig, I have one of the blonde colors, can't recall the color number, but I got the nerve to cut my own bangs in, thinking it would look better, but now, the cut on the bangs ...well, I guess I shouldn't have cut them. Let's just put it like that !! They need to learn to stay down better!! So, if you want to cut bangs, have someone who knows how to do it, cut them...Better yet, just learn to do without bangs. It is a cute wig, and the color is nice. Good luck with the wig. It is still better than the stuff we both have left on our heads!!! Let me know how it goes!!! Have a great weekend.

Lisselle,
I've decided to look up that website and boy do I ever find it useful, I can ask anything from how to care for a wig to how bad or how good I am feeling and everyone is justt so friendly on there,,yvm for menioning that post:)

Any body who finds a naked bear funny deserves to be added lol :)

Where are the Bears on this page??? Lol Haha

lol @ the bear!

Is that the gym at Jeff's hotel!

Haha Cute Bear!

Hi my friend! Just thought I would drop in and say hello! I haven't done that in a while, so figured today is the day!! So hello! Hope things are well!

Hi Liselle! You sent me a friend request several months ago. I wanted to apologize for not getting back to you sooner...I haven't been active on this site for quite a while. But I'm back now, so if you still are in need of a friend, please drop by my page. :o)
Mandy

Hi Liselle! I was just thinking about you the other day when I was on AW. Hope that all is well!! You have been quiet lately, everything good?
