TALK ABOUT AMAZING publicity for Alopecians!! Even if it starts with a D-O-G!!



Completely bald and older than the Incas, the Peruvian hairless dog seems like an odd fit for the White House.



But Peruvians are mindful of President-elect Barack Obama's preference for a hypoallergenic breed due to his daughter Malia's allergies — and say the dark, rough-skinned pooch with large ears and a pointy snout could be… Continue

Oh, I HATE how this sadness and anger sneaks-up on me!! Is it PMS? Maybe? Is it normal? Maybe? Does it drive me INSANE .. You BET!! Because I have REALLY REALLY been trying to be happy! To Accept this! To be OKAY! But since Saturday night, it's not working out so well!! First I was pissy cause wearing my wig out all afternoon gave me a HUGE headache!! Then I wasn't comfortable enough to ride in my own car with nothing on my head ... You know, afraid to be JUDGED by complete strangers! Sunday I… Continue

I sit here trying to figure out what I'm suppose to be learning from this experience! Where am I to grow from here? I KNOW with 110% certainty that there are NO accidents in life! God has a plan for me! Somedays I am too stubborn, too angry, or too scared to accept this new path. I feel like I should have the Serenity Prayer tattooed on me So that I remember I can not change things!!



So, if I can not change things for myself ... How can I MAKE A DIFFERENCE? How can I help others? How… Continue

Oh, I am So confussed! I feel like my friends here are the ONLY ones I can turn to for answers!! Cause I'm certainly getting NOWHERE with my doctor(s).



I am going through THE WORST shedding phase IMMAGINABLE! In less than two weeks I have lost nearly ALL of my hair! All I have to do is touch it and it comes out in handfulls! I even think I smell "funny" but who knows? Last night I had to get out of bed just to wipe myself off because I was absolutlely covered in hair!!!! UGGGGGG!!!… Continue

I'm REALLY trying to be positive!! I REALLY want to move forward!! I know I am more than my hair!! I HAVE done this before!! I WILL do it again!! I just need to get all this SHIT out!! I'm not sure how to make a LONG story short!! But I'll try.



In March 2007 I started to lose my hair. By August I had lost SO much I HAD to buy a wig. In the meantime I had seen SIX different doctors!! Each had their own opinion, each ran tests ... NOTHING was working!! However when my OB/GYN put me on… Continue

Make Lemonade … Right!! Well, I am So sick of drinking lemonade I could PUKE!! Please bare with me, this could get long..I just need to vent! And what better place than with women that have walked in my shoes.



I’m really not looking for sympathy; more like answers or someone that has gone through a similar experience. Some of you might have seen my post on the Thyroid thread a few weeks ago. At the time I was dealing with my “issues” pretty well. Unfortunately, things have changed… Continue
