True but sometimes a person can fall into a pit/really bad mood and start to question, Sometimes it just comes out but good point.

If someone actually comes up with a miracle cure I may just give up my faith in Atheism, till them I will blame my genes for any and all maladies that I or my partner suffer.

@pat : why NOT me is a good question yea ..
@john :i totally agree since there's not a miracle cure and i'm pretty sure it will happen i'm just waiting science for a real treatment not a superstition till that i'll adapt with my case and just live my life in my own way ..

whether its "stupid genes" or an evolution in our genes, who knows. We must carry on, since that is what life does. Life wont stop for us, so we must pick up our belts and move on. Find the positive in the adversities that come our way, and teach what we have learned.

of course terri , when people give up they become a broken shield in the machine of human progress and a misery source for the people who love them and i think it's the worst sort of selfishness .

No point in giving up anyway...life just goes on regardless so may as well make the best of it. When I first got aa I was devastated as probably most of us are at first and it took me quite some time to adjust to the new me. After all these years I still wear a wig outside the home, I just feel better feeling hair around me even if it isn't my hair... lol...

Great attitude! It's learning to get a better attitude that's got me through...I'm a slow learner so it took me a while...

Hey there A!
I hope this isn't too philiosphical sounding but...one of the things that became clear to me when I started loosing my hair was I was suffering from grief (among many other emotions). So...being the somewhat logical person I am, I looked up the stages of grief. I had read a book called On Death And Dying years ago. This was considered a landmark book at its time, the first of its kind to really identify the stages of grief.

So when I started saying "why me?" I rememberd the stages of grief. Some people like to define grief as simply related to death, but that is simply not true. We grieve for many things, including things like loss of health and hair. The why me stage is the 3rd stage of grief. I am including a link that explains each stage. I think you will find it useful. Knowing the stages does help you realize your feelings are normal and that fighting them is not what you should do. You should go through them. It helps with healing.
