Kate's Blog (5)

2013.

Last year, I shared with you all a blog post about my 2012. The year that my hair fell out. This year, although it's mainly about my year as a whole and not about alopecia I felt maybe some of you would like to read it. (you can follow my blog at www.learningtonurse.wordpress.com

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

I remember the first time I saw my bald reflection looking back at me and thinking what a great shaped head I had. Of course I looked completely unlike anything I had ever seen in the mirror previously but I didn’t look like the hideous pictures on the doctors hand outs and at that moment, I just assumed this is how I’d look for a while until it all grew back.

It's the year which so many deemed to be our last, 2012 the year the world ends. Strangely it seemed, at many points of the year, my world did end or change unthinkably. There were certainly points; specific, small little parts of 2012 that I wished the world had ended.

Eyebrows... do I?

Hello everybody! I'm looking for some advice...

I got diagnosed with alopecia areata in May but it seems to have progressed (or digressed?)and I now have absolutely no body hair. I'm fairly ok with no head hair, I dont like wearing a wig and have gotten used to going out and about with a bald head. I miss my eyebrows though and have been considering getting some semi permanent eyebrow tattoos done.I was just wondering if any of you wonderful people have had these done and if so could…
