I Really Need Some Kind Words, Alopecians and Non-Alopecians. Please.

I'm tired of this. I'm sick and tired of having my optimism and hope driven into the dirt by my mother. Every time I talk to her on the phone, I end up in tears. I resent her for making me feel insecure about something that I have no control over. She makes me feel like I'm not doing enough when in reality I've done so much. I feel that if I try one more procedure or method and bring her (and myself) false hopes that it'll just be wasted money and it will wear me out even more. I am still a… Continue

Response to Karen

A week or so ago, Karen posted the following on my wall:



Hi,



I have been reading your page for the past few months and have wanted to message you to ask a few questions. If you read my page you would see that I have a daughter who is turning five in three weeks and she has alopecia. She is now in the shedding phase and what will happen....who knows...



I have come to terms with the fact that she may have to live with this for the rest of her life and now I am… Continue

Oh, I HATE how this sadness and anger sneaks-up on me!! Is it PMS? Maybe? Is it normal? Maybe? Does it drive me INSANE .. You BET!! Because I have REALLY REALLY been trying to be happy! To Accept this! To be OKAY! But since Saturday night, it's not working out so well!! First I was pissy cause wearing my wig out all afternoon gave me a HUGE headache!! Then I wasn't comfortable enough to ride in my own car with nothing on my head ... You know, afraid to be JUDGED by complete strangers! Sunday I… Continue

No use crying over spilt milk ..

hello,my new friends here...

this mornign, quite early, i was having a quite sad,

depressive time... i stood up, went to the bathroom,

and looked at myself, in the mirror.

first, i thought, oh-god, what a "monster" you are..

i looked at my head, which was shaved nearly-clean then,

and thought, again, who will ever find you sweet or attractive..?

i felt tears running down my cheeks.. and, though i felt that-depressive,

i took the razor and began removing… Continue

Sigh

I am getting so fed up with my head....and I feel selfish because I havent even lost all of my hair yet. The spots just keep getting bigger, and the hair keeps coming out. I am getting sick of wearing it one way to hide the baldness, but its so hard to just throw your hair the way you want and screw the spots, but then people look and ask and make jokes.....or tell you what you should do to fix it. "dont be so stressed" is what i hear most often....I AM NOT STRESSED!! Its hard to explain… Continue

no more treatments!

well, i have a doctor's apt tomorrow and i called and cxled it. i decided that i am done with everything that i have been doing to keep my hair. i am not taking injections anymore, or using foams, or creams on my scalp. i am losing more hair and it comes and goes. it seems that i am losing and growing hair and that it has nothing to do with the treatments. plus i am gaining weight from all of the steriods and that doens't help my state of mind at all either. i stopped the zoloft as well. i… Continue

genetics

a while back, i went to a genetics doctor, cant remember what they call them.

i wanted to know more about alopecia and my dna.

i guess you could say i'm a special case, i have an identical twin sister who doesnt have alopecia.

she is also really scared about getting it! i am scared she will get it, one,because she isnt as strong as me.

and two because i like being the only one!!! haha

so the Dr said she has a 55% chance of getting it.

also i wanted to know what… Continue

We are all Pretty and Sexy!

We just have to keep a good actitude towards life, I guess that's the key.
We can have different wigs, and wear different styles, we will still look pretty and hot.
You just have to remember, Don't let your hair make you, YOU MAKE YOUR HAIR. Even if you buy it :-)
