Nearly four weeks into my Alopecia Journey

Well, it's still falling out, but has noticably slowed down. No sign of stopping just yet though and who knows if any areas are growing or not. Hubby took his first really good look through it the other day so hopefully next time he looks he'll notice something good or bad. Apparently I've got bald bits, shaved looking bits and some stubble areas. Who knows aye. On the whole still pretty coverable.

I'm still very selfconcious (sp?) about it all, I stay home if it's windy or wear a hat (still haven't found that perfect one yet either), I don't wear my hair up or tuck it behind my ears unless just around family etc etc. It's my sister-in-laws 40th soon and I do worry about what to do with it then - any ideas?

I took some photos today to help figure out if it's getting worse or better in the future - strange to see my patches from a different point of view, quite unnerving.

Anyways that's about it from me for now.

Hi Karen,
Ideas for the party...there are some really great scarves out there. I use the BeauBeau's and I really love them...they are easy to put on...just like a hat! Still having hair will be easier to cover up with a scarf. Good luck with it all. I have a cousin in New Zealand!
