Well, same story as last time as it is every time. It was the second week before Christmas. I ran my hand through my hair and there it is. The size of a dime, it grew and then 3 weeks later right after the new year, there was now 2. One larger than the other, like siblings. One trying to out do the other - then at the wonderful size of Almost Silver Dollars, I find a third sibling hiding at the back of my head......

Same as the other two- about the size of a dime - then the hair loss slows down. But it is still very steady- 10 to 20 hairs at a time. Then after 2 months, another small spot- same exact spot on the back of my head but opposite side.

The really odd part is not the hair loss but it is only colored hair I seem to be loosing. Both spots still have most of the white hairs still in them. Then right around the first of the year, I started loosing my nose hairs. It is kind of weird to blow your nose and have two or three hairs in your tissue. The other thing is I never knew your nose hairs were so long, lol........

Now I'm loosing hair at a slow but steady rate and each of the spots is growing. I've realized that during all this i was starting to avoiding washing my hair- after looking at my self for a few days, I realized that I was defiantly thinking " Why wash it, it's just going to fall out anyway?" But after looking into a support group for people with AA and attending one,

I realized that it was normal to get mad, frustrated and loose hope at times. IT is normal to not want to fight and to just throw in the towel, but it is also normal to gain hope and reason from others who have walked the road before.

Thank you for the hope of the days that remain, for the days that I can laugh with my children and give my grandson a kiss. For the days to come, for the smiles that we share and for the hair I may or may not have. Thanks for reading and thanks for sharing your stories. It really does make a very big difference, in a positive way.

Thank you.
