it's been a while...and another derm update!

I've been a little less active than I'd like lately on AW, but work has me crazy right now... they shipped me to Indiana for some GM testing a few weeks ago, then transferred me to a new store, so I had to move... I'm in my new place now, not quite unpacked, but wanted to drop a line to my AW friends while I can...



I went back to the derm today... on a good note, the biggest spot is significantly smaller now, and a few of my smaller spots are gone! I DO have some regrowth!! The white… Continue

New Year, New Me!

So tonight was my night! I'd planned to shave, but at the last minute, clippers in hand, I went short buzz instead. Still I feel liberated, and I know I'll not have to deal with those long hairs all over the place that are still shedding so severely! I did find a few more bald spots in this process, which was a little disheartening, but I know it's all part of the AA process, so I didn't grieve over them, just looked then moved on. I might go all the way bald quite soon, but for now, the super… Continue

Derm update today

I went back to the dermatologist today for a follow up after my first round of steroid shots 8 weeks ago. She said she does see a little bit of regrowth! Although it's just a little, and the other hairs are still coming out like crazy, I'm still going to go ahead and shave/buzz it all off on NY Eve. I figure it's a good way to ring in the new year, which I can't wait for. 2009 hasn't been kind to me, with a bad breakup after 9 years, the passing of my Grandfather, after his short, but hard… Continue

A rant, and a rave?

Well my journey with AA has been bumpy so far. And I'm sure that has been the story for many at the first stages. I'm still adjusting, and have my good days and bad. I'm sure I'm not alone in that, and don't want to sound whiny at all, but something happened today that hurt. And I've not had to feel this way before...



But before all that, I'll start with the good. Over the past couple weeks, I've been wearing my wigs. On the very first day I wore my first one, I had an interesting… Continue

Thanks so much

I have been a member for almost a week or so here at AW, and have to say how much I have enjoyed my time here. I've read some amazing stories, and "met" some really great folks who are inspirational in so many ways. I've told many of my friends about this site, posted links on Facebook and Flickr. Many of them have checked it out as well. It's nice to find some sort of "support" system online to help me deal with the emotions that I'm feeling while dealing with this condition.



I have… Continue

This is me... new here

I stumbled upon this site somehow, and have loved it so far. I'm looking to make some new friends who are going through the same things, and this seems to be a great place for that!



In August of this year, I noticed a small bald spot right at the crown, and chalked it up to stress. I hoped it would go away, and for a while was able to cover it with my hair, by changing the side I parted it on. Then I noticed all the hair I was losing, and by the middle of September the spot had grown… Continue
