I am having a bad day.

Make that a bad few days. I dont know why, but this past week, it's really been a downer, and i just hate alopecia, and hate having it. and i hate that i'm bald and rapidly losing hair everywhere else. Hate it. I think before, i was ok about it, but now that i'm losing my lashes and brows, it's really hit home. I'd be ok just losing my head hair, but not my eyelashes adn brows. I just hate it.

So does everyone else have shitty days, and how do we get past it? I want to have more good days than bad days. I just hate this condition, and wish like anything that there was a cure asap.

I've tried Calosol, doesn't work. Well, it did, my hair all grew back, only to fall out all over again. So that's a waste of money. I've tried Biotin, that's rubbish too for my hair. So basically, iv'e tried everything out there, and am not willing to risk myself in terms of those drugs out there that can bring hair back, but also can hurt livers and kidneys.

I just want a cure. I just want my hair back. I hate how narrow minded people are. I hate having to explain it to everyone. I hate being teh topic of gossip, and having people feel sorry for me, and wow, with alopecia, it's a whole new world of gossip and sympathy votes. Hate it.

I wish i just didn't give a shit about what anyone thought. But the truth is, i care about what i think, and at the moment, i'm having a bad day and i want my hair back, and i dont want to have this condition. And plus, i look ilke an alien without a hairpiece on, so i'm not liking that look either.

I'm just having a bad run, that's all.

Thanks Mary!

I'd like to hear what your dermatologist has to say.

Thank you, Laz. I see that this treatment involves homeopathy. Based upon reading I've done in the past, I have never been able to accept the validity of that. (If anyone reading this doesn't know what Homeopathy is, check Wikipedia).

We don't need to get into a discussion of the pros and cons here...there's plenty of info on the Internet concerning the non-scientifically verifiable nature of homeopathic claims. That said, I accept that there ARE things that medical science just can't explain.

So, my bottom line on remedies such as this is that IF they are safe (i.e. manufactured to standards that prevent impurity or adulteration by harmful substances) and IF they work for you - go for it! My problem is with the first qualification: since these remedies are unregulated and untested by INDEPENDANT scientific labs, there's just no way to know what you're putting into your body.

I will take the info to my dermatologist tomorrow and get his opinion. He's a good guy - I've been seeing him about my alopecia for a number of years, and I had made this appointment as a check-up.

Hey Mary, any word from your dermatologist? I'm very curious to hear about it!

Thanks for looking into this! :)

Yes...sorry..i've been very swamped today.

My dermatologist looked at the info I'd printed, looked at the ingredients, and basically said he couldn't make any sense out of the them, and said that without scientific testing there's no way to know if it works. He didn't recommend that I try it. ( ;-)

Sorry it wasn't good news. Let me know if you hear otherwise.

Mary

Hey, no problem! Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

Here is what it says on the website.

Numerous independent trials have been conducted on our therapies and most have shown improvement in over 80% of cases...

Your news is not bad news to me! I always had a feeling that my hair fell out because my system is out of balance so I did a search on how to put your body back into balance and found this site. www.biogetica.com

Nothing else I've tried has worked but this so I'm going to keep using it. I accept that I have alopecia but I don't accept that it can't be cured.

Go for it, and best wishes!

Thanks, same to you! I'll keep everyone posted on how this is going.
