Hello, im from Bosnia and i have SCARRING ALOPECIA LICHEN PLANOPILARIS,and doctor told me that i probably have ANDROGENIC ALOPECIJA to! Im 29 years old and im dealing with that since i was 20 years old. I still have my own hair but i decide to by a wig so i was wondering if someone can give me some advice regarding that and i would be glad if i can exchange experiences relatet to diagnosis.Doctors told me that is not hereditary, but im scared that my children could inherit it from me when i decide to have them. I think im dealing with this very good theres a days when i just cry when im alone in my 4 walls and sometimes i just say things could be much worse. You are healthy,smart enjoy in your life. Some people are struggling with the horible desises like that i comfortet myself. But still its hard especially when you know that you never had even a broken tooth not to mention that i have never been sick in my life and for years i have alopecia and i dont know why or how to treat her!

congrats on your success, you are very joyous in your life approach. thanks for the inspiration.

Hi LeslieAnn,

i was just reading all the comments about your book, i think i am going to purchase it, i need all the encouragement i can get. not only am i trying to deal with the fact that i have lost almost all of my hair, my eyebrows and eye lashes are starting to go as well. but my boyfriend of 3 and a half years decided that he can't handle being in a relationship right now because he has too many personal issues going on within in himself.(too long of a story) talk about bad timing. although his decision has nothing to do with me and my issues but the TIMING REALLY SUCKS. how do you try to be stress free at a time like this? not to mention feeling very unattractive. i'm trying to have a positive attitude about my situation, until your hear about others suffering from the same issues it's hard to deal with. So far i have gotten many compliments on my new hair style, which is a little encouraging.

thanks for letting me vent, and i will be sure to get your book.

sincerely,

MB

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for your welcoming  comments. My day was Ok and yours? This is really a cool site! What book(s) did you write? Like to know and hopefully get to know you.

regards

I thought I responded to your message before but see it did not go through.  I am glad to find a group of people to talk to that have the same problems that I do.  I have a great hairdresser who takes great care of my wigs but am still not ready to go with only a scarf or hat to exercise.  I'm trying...you'd think it would be easy after 17 years but it is not.

Hi Leslie,

Hope you are well. Thanks for your comment. I'm doing fine, just losing more hair. Want to look into your book.

Regards,

Ken

Hi - thanks for the welcome.  This is the 2nd time I have had cancer (cervical in 2012), but the first time I have lost my hair.  It sure is weird, but I am having fun trying on wigs!  I also would like my granddaughter, who is a makeup artist, to make me up to look like a "Grey" alien (I love SF) and also paint my head to look like a light bulb!  LOL  I was actually thinking about starting a bog called "Fun with Cancer."  I try to keep a light heart and love to Laugh!!  My best fun right now is watching "Big Bang Theory!"  Have a Great Day!!    Carol  : D

Hi LeslieAnn thanks for the welcome. I like the title of your book!

I have been dancing since I was 2 years old & that's exactly what I carried on doing when my hair fell out there was no way I was going to let it stop me! I will drop dead before I stop dancing! I will look with interest at getting a copy :)

Hello LeslieAnn,it was so good to hear from someone one here. My problems with my hair started in my early teen years. I have been wearing wigs since then and I am soon to turn 57. I still have a hard time dealing with people always asking if it is my real hair and bringing up conversations about going to the salon and anything that has to do with taking care of your own real hair. It is so bad that it took me 10 years to allow my husband to see me without my head covered. I am looking into buying your book. Maybe it will give me some self confidence.

Hi Leslie Ann,

Thank you for welcoming me.  I just came home from having my injections so am not feeling up to par.  Trying to keep my spirits up.  This is the 3rd relapse in 4 years. I plan to order you book.  Can't wait to read it !

Hugs to you !!

Sorry for my slow answers. Im too involved with my girls in school. Thanks for the link I will look it up. God bless you and your family.

Hello LeslieAnn!!

Thank you so much for reaching out to me.  It's ironic that you should ask how I am.  Actually, I am feeling a bit nervous today.  I am taking out my weave today and having my stylist shave my head for the very first time. I don't have any hair any more to tie the weave down. The entire front of my head is now bald. My family and friends have been very supportive.  However, I cannot help but feel that I am in mourning for the loss of whatever hair I have left. Trying to keep a positive outlook.  I tell everyone that with my new look, I'm going to look better than Demi Moore in G.I. Jane.  :-)  

You wrote a book? Thats really neat!! I wish I could write a book! I'm don't do well at English :(

35 years? That some time that you have had it?

Can you recoomendd any good wigs/wig stores near me? I live in East Orlando, Florida 

You look very nice in your photo! 

I need to get one soon :)

Hi LeslieAnn

Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm ok thanks, obviously new to all this so just trying to navigate round and find out what the sites all about! Looks really good! 

How long have you been on here for? (Congrats on the book by the way! Really impressive - just have to order a copy! :) ) x

Thanks, it seems like a great community!  I'm interested in your book, too.  I may even purchase one (when I get paid again) and host a giveaway on my blog if that would be OK with you?  It's a very new blog, so I need to get rolling a bit, and figure out more of html, which is foreign to me.  But I am definitely interested in reading your book and giving one away. :)  

Susan

I am fine thank you.Today's raining here in Milan. Is your book translated in Spanish or French? Is it only avaiable in English?

I do want to get your book and read as much as I can.  You look very happy/beautiful in your pictures....it gives me hope.  I'm usually such a "glass half full" person, but this has knocked me down a bit to be honest. 

Thanks for the welcome.  It is relieving to see others that are going through this and dealing with it so positively as I feel frustrated and so unsure about the future.  I see that you have a book - I will definitely be looking into it more.

hi leslieann - thanks for the welcome! it is greatly appreciated!   i've had alopecia for about nine years and my son for about a year.  your book looks terrific - i will check it out.  have a great day!

Thanks for the hello. I am doing ok. I wish hair pieces and wigs didn't cost so much. I have been looking but on a limited income it is impossible to buy one but I am fine so far without one. I have decided to try and help other low income women by asking women who have wigs or toppers to send them to me. I am going to start a program to provide them at no cost to these women who can't afford them. I hope it works out but it may take some time to get it set up. I have asked for wigs on facebook and have had positive responses. I hope all suffering with Alopecia are doing well.

Hi, LeslieAnn!  Thank you so much for the welcome!  I'm doing great! I noticed that you are an author...would love to read your book!

Hi Leslie,

Im loving your book, my partner was reading it too, but I caught him rolling a ciggie on it one day and confiscated it from his presence lol. I just adore the images and I am so glad I bought a hard copy because even the pages have a lovely feel and quality to them.

I think you are really brave and talented and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for assisting me with acceptance of AA.

best

Aly

Hi Leslie, thank you for the welcome.  I see you are a blonde too - would love any advice on what hair you wear.  Your blonde is the kind of blonde I have been looking for.  Nice to meet you.  I look forward to reading more about your book too.

Hi,

I'm well, thank you.  How are you?  Your book looks great! What an amazing accomplishment. Take care!

Hi LeslieAnn,  Thank you for your welcome e mail.  I am doing fine.  Heading to the dermatologist tomorrow for my 2nd round of injections.  I just ordered your book and look forward to reading it.

I see you are from Portland and I live in Seattle-a fellow "Northwesterner".

Wow, very cool Leslie. I'd love to see some of your work, it's always very cool to meet like-minded people, or anyone that has a beautiful energy.I appreciate being accepted into this community,I don't have full Alopecia, just the reseeding hairline, but I know how it feels to feel different than others because of My scoliosis and a few other of life's challenges.... I can't even imagine(at first) how insane this process must be for you Women of this Society, but ya know, it's all about being proud to be different than others! I happen to want to live in reverse of all the conforms Myself. I hope to have a chance to meet some awesome friends on here. Thank you Leslie.
