It Has been about 3 months to the date that I last signed in and stated, I saw some small loss and missing eyelashes. Today, I went to the dermatologist for a follow up,. I decided to take a break from the treatments. There has been no regrowth, no eye layers remain on my right eye, and I have a small pony tail out the top of my head. I can let it down and still wear a wide headband/wrap, which is a plus. However, I'm really pretty freaking sick of it. This is the third time I have gone thru… Continue

So to everyone else ths sounds weird. But I know you all will understand. Like mentoned in my last post I am pregnant and lke my past pregnancies my hair has been growing back more and more as time goes on. It has been coming in so nicely that about a month ago I decideed to stop shaving it and let it grow back. Which is very exciting because so far it looks like I might actually have enough to cover my head! The only issue is obviously I can no longer wear my vaccum wig. The problem now is we… Continue

I have been awayfomr Alopecia World for months!! Not for any good reason. Life just got away from me. So, in October I recieved my Vaccumm wig from Debbi Fuller. It has completely changed my life. I simply love it. I can't thank this site enough for leading me to her! Anyway i will post some pics of me with it. I still have some issues I think getting it ot fit perfectly sometimes. In order for it to fit right I haveto shave my head every morning. That is the only part that is tough. My latest… Continue

I went today to gt fitted for my vacum wig. It was an amazing experiance. I am so excited to get it!! Debbi Fuller rocks. She is a great person and very informative. If you can I highly suggest talking to her. I will let you know how it comes out.

I couldn't wait any longer. The house was quiet, children and husband asleep. . . so i decided to shave my head. I'm glad I took the time to do it alone. It was little more difficult (emotionally) than I thought it would be. My main concern how my daughter will react when she wakes in the morning. I already told her i was going to do it and she was upset, mostly b/c she liked to play hair dresser with what was left me my hair :) Anyway, how liberating. With the last clump of hair inthe middle… Continue

So, i did it. today i met with my director and told her about my AA and my plan to shave my head. Like i said before i knew she would be supportive but not knowing how she and my c0-workers would react still made me very nervous. She was fantastic!!! She told me i can do whatever i need to do to make myself confortable- hats, wigs, bald- anything. What a relief. With that under my belt I then found myself having lunch with some of closest work peeps and made a little announcement then. That too… Continue

I have been battling my AA since high school. At one point 4 years ago I even got to the point that I shaved my head and wore a wig. It did grow back with treatment but I now find myself making the desicion once again whether or not to shave my head. I have enough hair to cover the back of my head. I wear a thick headband like a uniform. After about a year with these damn headbands I have had enough. I'm sick of pulling hairs off myself all day, the clumps in the drain and constantly making… Continue
