I am now experiencing a really weird feeling. I now have hair again.



I cannot believe that it has all come back. I have not shaved my head for a month now and I have more hair than I would have thought possible in such a short period of time.



The last time I shaved was on the Saturday evening of the August bank holiday. I shaved at about 1800 hours as I was going to our friends’ 25th Wedding Anniversary party. As always with a big night out I wanted a really close shave… Continue

Can anyone tell me how i can arrange my photographs on my page so that they appear on the slide show in the order that I want them to?

I use the sort button but the slide show still shows them in the originla order. as some of th shots show the progression of my Alopecia I would like thme to run in the order of the hair loss.

Regards

The strange thing about being bald is that it brings to your attention the whole aspect of self image.

As such it has drawn my attention to the way I look now and to how I feel about myself.

The weekend was pretty poor really. Daughter trouble! How they can make life difficult! Who would think that a 16 year old girl who is loved and looked after so well could cause so a bad weekend but she did!



Regardless of the problems it was going to be a low key weekend really apart from a concert in Manchester on Saturday evening. I had shaved my head on Friday morning and then left it for the full weekend as I was going to see my consultant on the Monday morning. By Monday morning… Continue
