It's been an interesting week.

Since shaving my head, I have been experimenting with different colored scarves. I also got a small tattoo behind my ear.







Recognize it? It's the blue Alopecia awareness ribbon. :]

The artist is a friend of mine who has Lupus, and she has the lupus awareness ribbon tattooed in the same fashion.





Last Wednesday, I met up with Debbie Fuller while she was in North Carolina and was fitted for a Freedom Wig, in case I decide to buy one later on.… Continue

My first tattoo

I'm so proud. I have wanted to get a tattoo for as long as I can remember, but I always put it off. I figured it was a stupid idea for me.... I was worried about how much it would hurt, and all that stuff...



NOT anymore! I took the bull by the horns and did it. I got my first (of what will probably be MANY tattoos).



I spent a lot of time researching and ended up going to a local guy who is well known in our community and does GREAT work. I'm so happy with… Continue

Change change change

So it's been awhile since I was last online here and awhile since I last posted anything in my blog.I wanted to talk about my very new wig...I just picked it up 2 days ago. Backtracking a bit here, over the summer I was in NY and got myself a full lace wig and had nothing but problems with it. I learned that I am allergic to the adhesive. I also learned that since it was "off the shelf" instead of custom made it didn't really fit as well as it should/could have.



After much… Continue

twin alopecians

hey there,

i find it fascinating that there are so many alopecians that are twins. I am an identical twin and for so long i thought that there was very few twins that had alopecia. now i read there are heaps of you! and some even loose their hair at the same time!



my twin doesn't have alopecia but has that anxiety about getting it. i can say for sure it has been difficult for her to see me loose my hair and my identity with depression. it was really hard for me as we always had… Continue

Just another day

I like the cold weather.....I can wear my hair down and throw a hat on....not worry about the wind blowing my hair so my spots will show... I went to my doc yesterday...I told her my hair was still coming out and asked if she knew anything that can be taken while pregnant....i was referred to a dermatologist. I almost dont see the point of going... more blood work more test, will it really help or is it just a waste of my time?

uugh

on a happy note.... WE GOT A PUPPY!!! he is sooo… Continue

If someone here who can help me with something.

I am a college student, and in my english class, I have to write a informative essay. So I have to leave my emotions out of it. I chose to do mine about alopecia. Nearly every one I have came across, has never heard about it. I would like to write about it, because I have it, and this is my oportunity to teach people about it. I am going to attach it at the bottom. I don't need help writing it, I am just hoping that if I left some important information out, that some of you may know, and could… Continue

Should I have a baby?

Oh-my-god..

today, this morning (friday morning, here in Germany..), my husband

surprised me with asking me, maybe to cheer me up a little?, in a

very sweet way, if there was a "chance for us" to have a baby..

We had discussed this "question" several times, and so-far, he

always had said, he might feel it´s "too-early" for us to think about

it ... in a more-serious way than just like "romantic dreams"..

and today, this morning, he said, "you are so beautiful,… Continue

My journey with AA

Hi all. I have decided to keep a journal about my AA journey - as much for myself as anything eles as things always seem less of a issue when I've got them written down. Please feel free to add your thoughts and ideas because I feel that this journey is going to be just as much about the people I encounter as the issues I face. Anyways here goes.



Friday 24th Oct 08 - After a few weeks of losing hair by the bucket load and putting it down to summer shedding, my shampoo and what ever… Continue

i mean really whats the point

grrrrrrrr i think im just going to hang it up and quit trying to date or meet some one. i think i meet some one who does not care about me being hairless and they dont really as friends. it seems like when im talking to girls and looking in there eyes all i can think about is what i look like thro theirs. thought i was over the confidence issues or being self consious i am just not with women it seems......i feel alone and depressed this sucks

Nicky's new school

Nick started his new school today. He goes to a private Christian school a stone throw from my work. We just could not get him adjusted in his last school. His self esteem had gotten better, but some teasing still persisted and the staff just wouldn't deal with that in a effective manner. Which I truley believed caused Nicky to be a "class clown", thus causing some of his negative behavior.



He went into his new classroom today, which was 14 other children from the ages of 8-16, they… Continue

Egyptian Goddess??

Things have been quite interesting at work lately as far as my alopecia is concerned. Last week I finally spoke to the store manager about not wearing my wig to work anymore and she has no problems with this at all but we agreed I whould wear a scarf at least so that the public won't feel uncomfortable - I understand this and although it isn't completely fair, it is a customer service job and I can't let discomfort stand in the way of my own progress.

So, on Halloween I wore my bright red… Continue

Not A Good Day

So as I said in my previous blog, im starting to lose my eyelashes..

I looked closely Im loosing more hair on one eye than the other. GREAT. What am I supposed to do when I have no eyelashes on one eye and some on the other? I hate this. I hate that Im going through this. My hair is falling out in clumps, which it's never really done before, the process of me losing my hair has been pretty slow. What am i doing to do? How do I live life like this?

I dont understand how one day I have… Continue
