Hi, Denise
Thanks for the sweet words. I am doing fine, it was a very hard hit, but down the valleys He is so present! I am currently at UAB undergoing treatment locally w/ a old medicine called DPCP. It seems to be working, my hair is growing very thin, not filling my scalp yet and completely white. I wear a wig to work, and hats at home and leisure time. We were in Cancum during the holidays and I went swimming w/ no hair..it was SO GOOD! I don't have your phone # anymore...You can e-mail me if you would like to : camata@charter.net

Denise,
Thank you for the very nice message. It came at a great time as I have been going through a difficult time lately. (Not hair related!!! LOL) It's always nice to hear that I have been able to touch someone's life in a positive way. I have been really lax on my inspirationals but I will try really hard to get them going again. Thanx again my friend for thinking of me and I hope all is well with you and yours. If you need ANYTHING feel free to message me. You can also call or text me any time, if you just need someone to talk to at 603-662-8698.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

Thanks, Denise. Yes, I am rather spirited in nature....haha. I hate alopecia and "acceptance" is hardly what I would call my attitude toward it. The wonderful people on this site who embrace their baldness with total acceptance have obviously reached a milestone I have not, and maybe never will. I am off any kind of treatment right now, but will start again when my life smooths out some. My hair loss is triggered by stress and there's no sense in negating any benefit of treatment while I'm going through junk.

Love that you love teaching. What an honorable and rewarding profession.
TTYL.
