About Me:
I am 45 year old, happily married for over 22 years. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata in February 2009. At first it was just a spot at the crown of my head, but recently have discovered several more spots. I am trying to have a positive attitude...although I do experience waves of panic as my hair continues to fall out. I found this blog and am anxious to share experiences with others to hopefully help alleviate my panic and dread about this condition.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?

Attitude is Everything!

Posted on October 19, 2009 at 2:15pm 3 Comments

Hi everyone. I attended a cancer research fundraiser this weekend and a cancer survivor read a wonderful quote from Charles Swindoll. I thought I would share it with everyone because I really believe that how we choose to handle the cards we are dealt makes all the difference in the world. Here is the the full text of Charles Swindoll"s "Attitude."

Anyone else experiencing technical problems on this website?

Is anyone else experiencing this problem: I go to read a blog or someone's comment on my profile and it kicks me back to the AW home page. Is it me or is this happening to anyone else?

Ten Things I Love/Hate About AA

Posted on September 22, 2009 at 4:37am 13 Comments

I am now about 10+ months into my life with AA. I've gone through the spectrum of emotions since finding my first "spot," but really feel like I've come to a point where I don't cry, panic, freak out with every new change. Although the landscape of my head is ever-changing, I'm finding it a little bit easier to accept. Not to say I don't have bad days-- and a few mini freak out days now and then-- but they are just no longer "horrible" days as they were in the beginning. I've learned a lot… Continue

Wine country? I'm so jealous! Sounds like a wonderful weekend in my book! Definitely good to hear from you too. I've ping'd you from time to time in chat, but haven't been able to connect with ya. I'm doing pretty good here. Houston has been having fantastic weather lately, so it's nice when I get to enjoy it on my evening jogs. My weekend paled in comparison to yours, but still enjoyable with a few rounds of golf speckled in there. How're things holding up hair-wise?

Well Kelly awhile ago you told me that you wear clip in Entension, when you told me about them I had no idea what they are so I looked them up online and went ahead and ordered them Because all my hair loss is at the side and back of my head and I just dont think i need a wig yet Well my new hair came last week and I love it so much I feel almost like my old self agian witch is huge ! But I do have to ask how do you store them when your not wearing them? I think hang them up would be best just so you dont have to fuss with them so much BIDK? And one more thing I wanted to say Thank You without for input I wouldnt know about Clip In. So Thank You

Hey Kelly! So how was the Cirque show? I know, it's been a while since you've seen it, but I've not been on AW much lately. Been a bit busy with work, and I must admit, I am doing my best to "not" think about my hair too much. Sometimes helps when I'm not on here all too often. That said, I do miss chatting and commenting with my friends here though. Hope all is well with you...cheers!

What's going on Kelly? :-) Tried to "ping" you in chat the other day, but wasn't able to catch ya while online. Can you believe Halloween is around the corner already? You guys doing anything fun for it? I might just hang with my brother and his family and check out the cute kiddo costumes. Take care!

Hey there Kelly...how have you been? Do you ever get on the little chat facility that this site has? I'll ping you occasionally, but usually without much success. Look on the bottom right of your screen where you'll see the current number of people online....well, only if the spirit moves you. Hope all is well! :-)

Hi Kelly! Been a while since I've heard from you. Was wondering how you were doing? Hope life in Bako is going well...did the heat stay away or you getting a bit of an Indian Summer there?
