Bad Day

Was at work yesterday and some woman made a comment about my hair. she started telling me my hair was thinning on the back of my head as if i didnt know. She actually asked me if i knew it was thinning! I told her i did. that was all i could say. as i went about my work i gradually started into a bad mood. I'm still thinking about it. what should i do? i guess i'm not hiding it as well as i thought i was. Seriously all i wanted to do was leave work to go home and cry. but then i thought,… Continue

The tea cup

The Tea Cup



There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked, "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."



As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My… Continue

This thing we got

About exactly a year ago, while I was getting a new hairstyle, my aunt pointed out my first spot in rear of the crown of my head. She explained it was alopecia and that my dad had spots a few years back. I did gasp superloud when I looked in the mirror at my backs reflection. It wasn't no bigger than a silver dollar. "How the heck did I miss this??" Constantly, for 2days I rubbed my little spot, not thinkin too heavy, since it was still unnoticeable to the world. I kept combing my hair in the… Continue

4 Days & Counting

I'm not sure what made me think working 4:00 PM to 6:00 AM was a good idea... But seeing as it is almost 1:30 AM, and I only have 4.5 hours left I do have to say I'm feeling pretty good, in terms of mood. I'm tired and procrastinating :)



It was strange though. I glanced in the mirror while cleaning the bathroom, and for a split second I forgot I was losing my hair. It wasn't until I leaned forward and caught glimpse of my lovely bald spot on my part that I remembered. It was hot here… Continue

Depo Provera

So...my hair loss started about a couple of months after i received my first depo shot, i was losing ALOT of hair and was too afraid to go back for a second one. It has now been about 8 months so doctors say the shot should be gone from me body. I had a short hair cut done to minimize the hair shedding, which seemed to help alot. But everday is a struggle, i am convinced i will be bald before i graduate high school. The shedding has slowed down, but now i am shedding eyebrow hairs. I try not to… Continue

Growing out the regrowth

It really does seem that my hair is trying to come back in earnest. I've gone from smooth bald to steadily increasing patches starting to grow again. After months of shaving these off, I have finally made the decision to let them grow out.



It's been a month since I last shaved my head and I now sport dark auburn fuzz almost all over my head. There is still a few small albino patches and a few parts where the hair is not coming in quite so thickly and you can see my scalp through the… Continue

Need to release..>!

Im a little bit worried, I know that the crown of my head is getting thinner and I think Im loosing my eyebrows! I still have enough hair so it looks ok, but I can feel it is thin thin thin!!
I dont want to go thru what I went thru last year with discovering the patch and then seeing others develop.
Im so sick of playing this waiting game, i hate it, hate this alopecia!!!

Never been happier (or balder!)

I've been bald for nearly a month now and I've got to admit...I've never been happier with my appearance! :) I absolutely love the bald look! I was shocked about how good it looked...I was worried that my head would look a bit morphus but it doesn't so that's pretty awesome. I can't believe how easy it is! Completly zero maintainence :) and it's a lot easier than i though to look feminine with no hair :)

I haven't had any problems with people either and very rarely cover it up because I… Continue

Anxious

I have been dealing with Alopecia for the past 2 years. Doctors keep telling me that is stressed related. Most of my hair has fallen out on the back of my head but i still am able to cover it up with the remaining of the hair i have. I am tired of all the treatment. The injections are very painfull. I have also lost my eyebrows but with the injections they have regrown. My eyelashes are falling out too. I want to shave off all of my hair but i am very anxious. I just want to know how long doe… Continue

healing yourself

Has anyone stopped to think just what went wrong with their immune system in the first place for them to get alopecia?



Can we influence are immune system by what we eat how we think and by what supplements we take? I beleive we can and of course research has proved this. A doctor told me that alopecia is a internal problem expressed externally. I felt this was a little odd at first but began to realise I was going about treating myself the wrong way. What most of us see is the hair… Continue

Even the hairs of your head are all numbered

I posted this note on facebook on the day I shaved my head just a few weeks ago. I needed support from my friends and family at that time, but now I am reposting this here so I can give my fellow alopecians some hope and peace about this condition that we have no control over.



"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear,… Continue

Some extra time to think about my alopecia

Hi everyone,



It is funny that now I'm waiting for the official news/words from a few potential employers...suddenly, I have so much time for my own...couple of hours of packing or helping others to pack, some jogging, sit-ups and push up...here and there, watch my favourite sitcoms "Everybody loves Raymond"...I still have plenty of time to spare.



Well, it gives me time to think of my alopecia more often, its like I feel more aware of my alopecia than before I was still a… Continue
