Swimming for me is the hardest part. So, mostly I just jump in to cool off, and then I get out quickly and put on a hat - beach hats are really trendy. I live for hats. When I play tennis, I always wear a baseball hat or visor. I can't wear my hair in a ponytail anymore with out one as I have lost hair around my ears and I think it looks weird. On my down days, I try to focus on the fact that everyone's hairline is different anyway. I notice people's hairlines all the time as I am always comparing them to mine. I see that everyone has issues they have to deal with their hair - whether it be kinky hair, naturally thin hair, straw-like hair, etc. This disease is very humiliating in some ways, but I don't want to hide. I want to do things and enjoy life. That is my goal always!

Pam - where do you live in the UK ? Would you like to come for a lunch with some of the other ladies ? I am near Junction 3 of the M40.
