Happy Thursday! I have not been on the site for awhile. I have eyelashes, brows, etc. I am 59 years old/young.  In this pic I am wearing a wig OR I call them my "Girlfriends".   I have been dealing with my alopecia for several years.  Last June and in memory of my BFF losing her fight to the Big C I shaved it OFF.  So this month is my anniversary. I watch her fight so hard.  She never knew about my condition and so I shared it with her. I had not shaved my head yet.  She says to me, "I would rather have your condition, than MINE."  So, I decided to be grateful - Now, let me say, before all the women, say just WEAR YOUR BALD head.  For me, it is not going to happen.  I said FOR ME!  When I am at home, I do but then sometimes NOT. I have cute scraves,etc.  Now for the topic of dating.  Last December I met a guy and was going thru shot treatments in my scalp (stop those this year).  I asked my dermatologist doctor, should I tell my friend.  We were on our second date - chemistry - What?  OFf the chain.  I knew that I wanted to be initmate - just a matter of time -- wink, wink.  My doctor said that I should tell him - don't make a big deal out of it - ... so I kept it light and mentioned that I am wearing a wig because of my "thinning hair".... hadn't shaved it yet.  He told me that it didn't matter..... So here I am 6 months later, and we are still dating - NOT EXCLUSIVE - but feel it is coming.  Now, I have not exposed my head to him and probably won't until we are EXCLUSIVE.... but at least he knows......... So ladies, our "Condition" is hard, because Society makes it so with the hair thing......remember everyone's coping mechanism is different and try to respect that.....

BTW:  If there are any ladies in the Charlotte, NC area that would like to start a support and have fun/ JOY group, please send email. 

Peace and Blessings,
