Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia

Posted on August 9, 2010 at 3:17pm 7 Comments

I have been without any hair for 8 years. I turned 50 yesterday and thinking back - I had the most beautiful thick brown hair and I still long to have it back. I still pray every day even though I know better. I still cry sometimes and feel sorry for myself. I even still dream that I wake up with it all back. I really do not know if I will ever really accept this. Oh sure I wear a wig and "paint" on eyebrows every day. I sweat like heck in the heat and itch. It can be miserable. I can fool… Continue

Hello and welcome, Barbara!
I know what you mean about hair ads -- taking care of your hair seems to be the #1 national pastime! I have had universalis for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf."
Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
LeslieAnn
