What Am I Doing?

I thought I was progressing with this Alopecia thing. I started growing my hair back after my little girl was born but 3 months into it I shaved it because it had started to fall out again. I started wearing my wigs again. And I just am so unhappy with it! Its been 10 years and my hair has never fully come back and I am sick of it and dont know what to do, I really want it back. I see all these people on here happy and their beautiful pictures and they have excepted this! and then I look at… Continue

Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenetic Alopecia is what the doctor said. She said to start using mens 5% Rogaine. Takes 6 mnths to take effect. Genetics. Wasnt quite what I had in mind when I heard the word Inheritance.

So now, I guess I hop on here and google and figure out more about this condition. At least I know now, right? Thats a good thing. And... My stiches are out of my head. Good thing #2.

I was hoping it was something easily fixed. Blah.

Update

Monday 4th May 2009


Just thought I'd let today out, hope no one minds.
I've had one of "those days" I'm afraid, getting pretty tired of hearing "Oh my god...her hair... must be chemo" or "Eer, freak" being whispered where ever I am.

I was meeting a friend in the local park this afternoon, and a mum actually came a moved her kid away from the park, just staring at me, honestly!

In Need of a Confidence Boost (and Advice!)

Hey guys!

Today is one of those tough days when my confidence and acceptance of my hair loss is slipping. I'm not burst-into-tears-so-unhappy miserable or anything, but I'm more like "eh." I'm thinking my head shave will be taking place sooner rather than later. When I comb my hair after my shower I keep losing clumps. There are only so many months I can keep losing clumps before my hair is too thin to be pretty! So I'm a little shaken by that. I'm thinking it'll be an experience that's… Continue

It's been a while!

I know it's been a while. I've been on quite a journey while I was away! In November, I decided to stop taking the birth control (yaz) that I started taking a few months before my AA began. Since then, my hair has been coming back nonstop! All is back with the exception of a small patch in the front. This is stemming from 75% loss of scalp hair and 95% loss of body hair. I never lost my eyebrows or eyelashes. I know that it may not be permanent, but I wanted to share this with you… Continue

carrots, eggs, and coffee

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.



A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how

things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it

and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed

as when one problem was solved, a new one arose.



Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water

and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.… Continue
