Thoughts of selfishness

June 2, 2009



Just after I went to the Dr to basically confirm what I already knew, I started to really look around the intar-web on Alopecia. Started to feel that Woe is me wash over me. The more I read about AA/AU/AB/AT, the more I thought that maybe I should be at odds with who or what gave me this! I was really pumped up and mad.



I thought I had it bad when my facial hair went. I could feel the burning/tingling at each attack site. Watching the hair… Continue

Waiting

Here I am... still waiting to get to Mexico. On January 8th 2009 the police showed up at my door and asked for my fiance by name. (which means he was turned in). They asked for identification and when he couldn't provide documentation he was loaded into the back of the police car, while the officer made a call to immigration. They sat in the cop car in the parking lot of my projects for what felt like forever. I wanted to talk to him but they wouldn't let me. After what seemed like forever, the… Continue

Cortizone Shots....???

What's the concensus on cortizone shots for alopecia areata??? I was having them done from about October 2008 - January 2009. I stopped because of money issues and because I wasn't convinced they were helping. But now, it's June and my alopecia has gotten quite a bit worse. I have an appointment to see a dermatologist tomorrow, but I wanted to get some feedback on the shots before I started getting them again...



Anyone have any words for me? I would really appreciate them... Thank… Continue

Cruel to the unknown. but why?

Ok ok, same old question with still not a good enough answer. Why are people ignorant to the unknown? And let me rephrase that I dont mean ignorant to be mean but what I really mean is why do people have to be so cruel? Let me tell you I am a strong person with a very stubborn personality when it comes to my daughter, but what mother isn't? Here are a few of our daily bumps and Im sure you all will agree with me on this. Alieenas AA is getting better but at the same time getting worse. The… Continue

Odd Hairstyles?

I admit.....I am a people watcher. I like to sit back and just watch people come and go...how they interact with others and such. One thing I have picked up on is that women nowdays really do have some odd hairstyles going on...know what I mean? Holy cow! Some of the hairstyles I wouldn't be caught dead with. I sit there and think " how long did it take for them to tease that hair into an inviting bird's nest for a flock of sparrows?" Some hairstyles look like a hatchet job done wrong and… Continue

Hi :)



This past week I have come to realize;



a. I HAVE ALOPECIA AREATA

b. Yes, my hair (Or lack of rather) looks odd

c. I DON'T CARE!!



It has taken me a very long time to say that. when I was 6-10 all I wanted to do was keep my hair, then it fell out. 10-16 I just wanted to fit in with a natural looking wig and have no questions asked, it didn't work. 16 upto now I've kind of been a in a bit of a void, not really sure if I was comfortable… Continue

Depression

This is really hard for me to go thru without my husband to hold me hand. See he was turned into immigration and deported 5 months ago. I didnt start losing my hair until about 3 weeks ago. I still see him everyday on webcam and i can hear his voice thru conference call. But its not the same, I cant touch him, he cant hold me the way I need him to. He cant kiss me on my head and tell me that everything is going to be alright. All I want now is to sleep and only wake up when my passports get… Continue

I DID IT!

Wow, I am feeling great! I just got back from participating in a Cops for Cancer event and yep... I have shaved my head. Well, it's a very close buzz, not razored. And I love it! It feels great to have shed that ugly, thin, flat, good-for-nothing bio hair. :)

The Greatest Love of All

I have been listening to alot of Whitney Houston lately, mainly because I feel like I wanted to sing on top of my lungs and Whitney Houston songs are quite fun to sing along to don't you think? haha



I came across the song "Greatest Love of All" and I am sure all of you must have heard of it. It is a classic. When I was young I used to sing it on Karaoke (yes, we asians love our karaoke!) Before you get any ideas, no I can't sing to save my life but it feels good to burst out in song… Continue
