Hiya everyone, I'm really beginning to think my AA experience has been triggered by some thing in the environment. I began to lose my hair in Oct 09 during which time my husband began having major skin issues (dermatitis type). He also experienced a bit of what looked like AA through his beard area. My hair completely fell out then regrew. A few months back my hair started falling out again, a lot slower this time but still falling out. Next thing hubby's hair is falling out too. Definate AA… Continue

Hi again. It's been so long since I last bloged and on my hair front a lot has happened - I HAVE SOME.

After shaving my head back in January I noticed a little bit of regrowth. Well that regrowth has taken off and I now have a full head of hair again (minus a couple of tiny patches).



Funny thing I have noticed since I stopped wearing a scarf, people are commenting on my new hair cut. A lot of people knew about my hair loss, but those who didn't obviously didn't get why I was… Continue

Well after humming and haaaing for ages I took the plunge and finaly got rid of the stupid amount of hair I had left. And just like everyone here says - it was the best thing I could have done. I feel I look more normal and a hell of a lot better with no hair than what I did with my sorry excus for hair.



Funny thing is now that I've shaved it's growing back. I'm not getting too excited as I know I could lose it again but the top of my head is almost covered (a scattering of patches).… Continue

It's been a while since I last wrote and a lot has happened really. Had a great Christmas, ate too much and laughed lots. I then spent two weeks camping in the sunny Hawkes Bay. During my two weeks away I had no Enar treatment, I'm not sure if it was helping slow down the hair loss or not but man did my hair loss have a major come back. Standing in a low pressure camp site shower covered in your own hair trying to rinse it off is a pretty depressing state of affairs and caused a few teary… Continue

Hi again everyone. Well my hair is still falling out but has slowed down 'heaps'. Patches of stubble are now going smooth and still no real sign of growth. Oh well, I'm getting quite use to wearing my hat and strangely no one has asked why. I've never been a hat person before, hot and sweaty things they are.



I've finaly let my father in law loose on my head with his Enar (Enero Nuro Adaptive Regulation) machine. It's a wee Russian (no drugs) invention devised as a 'repeatable… Continue

Well, it's still falling out, but has noticably slowed down. No sign of stopping just yet though and who knows if any areas are growing or not. Hubby took his first really good look through it the other day so hopefully next time he looks he'll notice something good or bad. Apparently I've got bald bits, shaved looking bits and some stubble areas. Who knows aye. On the whole still pretty coverable.



I'm still very selfconcious (sp?) about it all, I stay home if it's windy or wear a… Continue

Hi again

My hair is still falling out and I'm getting fed up with trying to hide the patches on my hair - so why bother. If people notice, they notice, it's time for me to just get used to it (as hard as that really is).



I went back to the doctors today to talk about starting some multi vitimins. He agreed with me that they wouldn't hurt and who knows. I have decided that this is my way of doing 'something'. All I have read and been told to do seems to have it's good and bad. I… Continue

9th Nov 08 - Happy Birthday to me. 37, overweight, hair falling out and what is there needs a dye touch up to cover those greys again. Me and hubby have decided to hold back on dying my hair or straightening it at the moment which is driving me a little insaine (grey hair really stands out when you have almost black hair). Oh well, never mind - ya get that aye.



37 seems rather old today, I've never had issues with my age but 37 seems different.



Hair loss quite bad today… Continue

Hi all. I have decided to keep a journal about my AA journey - as much for myself as anything eles as things always seem less of a issue when I've got them written down. Please feel free to add your thoughts and ideas because I feel that this journey is going to be just as much about the people I encounter as the issues I face. Anyways here goes.



Friday 24th Oct 08 - After a few weeks of losing hair by the bucket load and putting it down to summer shedding, my shampoo and what ever… Continue
