FABULOUS!!!!

Hi!

WOW...thanks everyone for welcoming me....I haven't had much time on the computer lately....My daughter is Miss New Brunswick (in Canada) and we have been travelling the province to alot of events and functions. Her reign ends July 29th. It has been so much fun travelling with her. I was told that I would never get pregnant, but being the strong willed person that I am, I just couldn't accept that diagnosis, so.....
thanks to the miracle of science and the invention of Invitro fertilization, my dream of becoming a mother came true!!!
I knew she would be destined for great things and as she turns 19 in a few weeks, I am proud to say that she is AMAZING! I will post some pic's.
This beautiful child has helped me so much with my own self esteem. We look very much alike, and both shared the same long blonde beautiful silky hair. When I lost mine, she wanted to shave hers...of course I wouldn't let her, but she continues to encourage me by telling me that I am still beautiful in her eyes and to me that is all that matters. As the years go by (as a bald woman) I have come to ACCEPT this diagnosis. I can live without hair, and thank GOD everyday that I don't have to live without being a MOTHER.
Most days I feel like an alien or freak...frustrated that I can't do anything to change this. Other days I think what the H...
who cares about hair. I love not having to shave my legs or underarms...although can anyone tell me why I still get this stupid facial hair on my chin???
anyway...sorry to ramble on....it is great to know that I am not alone on this wierd journey of baldness....
Kim

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Kim!

Thanks for adding me as a friend. Yes, I did have some hair growth when I was pregnant with my son Michael. I grew hair (a patch ) 6 weeks later lost it all. I got pregnant with my daughter, and grew some hair, and eye lashes and brows, but it to fell out. My email is grwest13@msn.com. Feel free to email me anytime. Have a wonderful week.

HUGS! Thanks so much for your post. You an I do sound very similar in our "stressors' and out lives.. Some days I want to quit and give up others I am so glad to be alive and yes- I would gladly give up (did) hair to have my sons !!! Being a mother I beleive it the ONLY thing that has kept me sane and alive all these years of the ups and downs life spins you on.... (even tho it was stress overload) I would not trade it for anything.....thanks again. Hugs!

Hi Kim- thanks for adding me as a friend! I read your blog, and I definitely know the frustrations of taking medications for alopecia. I took prendisone pills on and off for a year, and although they helped my hair grow back initially, my hair would always fall out worse once I went off of them. You are certainly not alone in your alopecia journey :) I am in the process of losing all my eyebrows and eyelashes, but I try not to let it get me down too much....I figure that I'm healthy otherwise, so who needs eyebrows anyways?! ;) haha. Try to keep smiling and staying positive :)
