FIrst Jinzy, I AM happy. I know it sounds unbelievable to some, but I love being bald. Making room for bald women in our hair obsessed society has become my new calling in life. (See my profile).

About other auto-immune issues. Yes, I have asthma, allergies, arthritis and I take thyroid supplements as well. I've heard many others say they have other autoimmune issues too, but other people only have alopecia. At best it's a quirky condition, at worst it's a crazy making condition.

It SO helps knowing others get where you are, have been and will likely be. I blog about this at boldlybaldwomen.com. I've got to figure out a way to get it posted in AW automatically or at least get myself in gear to copy and paste the posts. Ahh Pam, one thing at a time. I am currently writing an e-course and learning how to podcast. Still...that's at least got to be a New Year's resolution! lol -

One of my favorite groups in IAD (International Alopecia Day). Each year in August people all over the world celebrate it by taking their wigs off for one day, taking pictures and sending them in for Mary Marshall to collate into a video. It's really cool. There's a link in the group site to the videos if you're interested.

Jinzy, that's great -- you can get it my book on Amazon or the NAAF.com Marketplace.

Let me know how you like it, and I hope you take advantage of all the support you will find here!

Hugs!

Hi, Jinzy!  Just checking in to see if your progression has still remained stable.  I was going through some old posts, and saw yours.  Hope you are doing well, and continue to "beat" this diagnosis.  Let me know.
