Performed bald for the first time last night!

I'm a drummer with a couple of Balkan bands and since losing my hair, I've worn one of my Turkish scarves while performing (as shown on YouTube videos - search for "Dromia stoynoff"). Though I've gone folk dancing bald, I've never gotten up on a stage and performed without my scarf since I lost my hair. I just haven't been ready to be up in front of people on a stage, bald.



Last night I did it! It was warm, and I was working hard drumming with some visiting musicians, so I took off… Continue

My 1st Blog

Ok, so this is my first Blog on here. I maybe just need to vent abit.

Im feeling rather down, and glum.

I was diagnosed with alopecia almost a month ago. It was mainly the left side of my parting and I have been applying some caffeine stuff I bought from Boots, willing it to work.

Ive felt the last few days that my hair at the back felt thinner, so tonight I took a look and there seems to be a patch. So I cried my eyes out.

Im scared, and it all feels worse because I'm… Continue

Help Me Help Myself

I am a young looking 50 y.o. woman who was recently diagnosed with Alopecia. It all started around Thanksgiving time, while in TX visiting my daughter, when she was drying my hair. She said, "Mom you have a bald spot!" That small bald spot has gotten much bigger (probably the size of a half-dollar now) and I find my hair everywhere in the house. Now it seems like on the sides it is really thinning out and I'm scared to death that I will go totally bald. Any help, assurances, etc. would be very… Continue

County Fair

I am very pleased to blog about my experience tonight. I went to the county fair this evening with my friend, her son and my 13 year old daughter. I wore a light blue bandanna on my head, pulled low to cover half of my ears. Because I have stubble by my ears and I wanted to cover that. The whole ride there, all I could think about was how I was going to feel once I got inside. We parked about 3 blocks away and walked to the gate. As we were walking, about half-way there I started to feel very… Continue

Definitely Worse Things Than Alopecia

Well first off sorry haven't been around. Between visits from in-laws that lasted almost a month and other things it just hasn't been possible.



This week I lost my grandmother. We buried her today. She passed away Tuesday morning at 11 am. I was out running around doing appointments and my parents called and left a message saying she was dying. Because my parents couldn't get a hold of me they got a hold of my husband who rushed home and gave me the sad news. She had died. The… Continue

Time flies when you're busy!

OK don't be mad, I haven't been neglecting you all, I has just been busy folks! My hours at work are picking up so even though I'm part-time, it's more like full-time in the summer but let's face it - no one really wants to build a deck in the winter! On top of that I am making sure I have everything planned out for the CAP conference which I will be doing a workshop at. My current problem is writing a short bio - writing a short anything about me is difficult. There was a point in my life when… Continue

The shower is not my friend...

And for that matter, either is;



- The stupid wind

- My ever insulting hair brush

- My constant mocking pillow case

- Don't even get me started on my asshole hairdryer

- Even my slimy fingers have given me grief these days

- Oh and then there's the good ol' dermatologist... yea, we won't EVEN go there...



I'm not sure how my boyfriend and family will feel about my break-ups, especially with the shower... but, lucky for them, it's one relationship I… Continue

Debut

The picture on my page is the first time anyone other than my husband and daughter has seen me without a wig. I am slowly working toward going out one day without my wig. I think I look just fine without hair and my husband loves the way I look. I am just afraid of how people will react and weather or not I will be able to handle it. My goal is to go without my wig by July 19th. I felt very good posting my picture it was quite liberating.

Bald is Beautiful!!!

I am haveing a hard time dealing with the fact that I dont have any hair. I graudated high school last year and yea.... High school was really hard. I have had alopecia since I was in the 2nd grade but it never really bothered me being bald until I hit high school. People were really mean to me and I didnt understand why cause it wasnt my fault. People would walk past me and say stay away from the girl with the disease and I would just go home and cry everyday!!! I had to wear hats to school… Continue

Regrowth...???

Well it seems my hair is growing back, however I cant help but worry that this will more than likely wont be a permanent thing and it will eventually fall out again...but then again, I should just be happy that so far so good. What mixed emotions this alopecia brings, getting used to the ups and downs is quite tricky, taking one day at a time seems to be the best action for me :)
