That must feel good!!! I wish I could get to that place of peace. I am giving it everything I have. My husband thinks I still have enough hair to get by eventhough it falls out in handfuls, keeps me upset, gets thinner literally every day, can't be styled, etc. We go around and around about it. I got a wig and instead of supporting me he keeps saying I don't need it...it is so hard. I agree though, without my fam I don't know what I would do.

You Rock! What you are really teaching is your 2 wee ones how to love others and to not assume. It is the best gift of all....... love for all that are different from you. You became a super heroin the moment you took it all off. You said the the world I AM THE BOMB! How free you must feel. Let your husband's warm hand run across your cool head and let love fly!!! Best wishes to you and your family. Peace and understanding.

Thank you so much ladies for your input. It takes tIme to reach acceptAnce. It dosent mean I like it I can totally I'd with the handfuls of haIr coming out every day.its devastating now I don't have to go through that trauma.I also have two wigs but feel more like myself when I wear a bandana or a hat. ChefPAm your husbanD probably feels helpless because this is one thing he can't fix for you so try not to get mad, men are so different in my opinion to women as they just wAnt to fix their problems unfortunately this is one thing there is no easy Answer to. I feel your Pain and just think it really could be worse I used to think why me? Now I think why not me. We all have our life lessons to learn here on earth what do you think yours might be?Alice thank you for your beautiful comment. I would love to have you as a friend god bless us all .

I AM IN BETWEEN ABOUT SHAVING OR NOT SHAVING MY HEAD. I HAVE ALOT OF NOTICEABLE BALD SPOTS, BUT I ALSO HAVE ALOT OF SMALL BALD SPOTS THAT MY HAIR COVERS AND EVENTUALLY THOSE SMALL SPOTS BECOME LARGE ONES. I REALLY WANT TO SHAVE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I AM GOING TO BE EMOTIONALLY READY TO HAVE NO HAIR AT ALL.

Congratulations Three years ago right now I was on the fence. Check out the pics of me the night before I shaved and the day after: http://www.alopeciaworld.net/photo/photo/listForContributor?xg_pw=&...

I felt SO much better, and haven't looked back. I went from crying all the time picking up more and more hair off the floor and sink, to feeling in control. Good luck

Well done - It is a year since I did the same.
I felt it was the most liberating thing I'd done in ages.
Instead of watching my hair fall out and getting upset I took back the control into my own hands and just got on with life.
Good luck

Thank you so much for everyones input. Its. Funny how things work out sometimes, since shAving the rest off I have also told more people about my condition, I asked them to keep me in prayer I don't feel embaressed or ashamed Any more so I know I have come a long way in 8 months. For the people who are struggling all I can say is it will get better. Love to All my Alopecia Family Clare x
