Hey everyone! I had a wonderful day at the pool yesterday. I have noticed that ever since my hair started falling out 3 weeks ago I'm certaintly starting to appreciate the smaller things. A good laugh or even a relaxing night at the pool.

I went out and bought the vitamin biotin and the b complex's. We will see if it helps my hair and at the very least if it does not then I can say I might be a littler healthier..lol. Tomorrow morning I'm going down to the doctor and demand he gives me a hormone evaluation which will include the test for free bound testostorone. I have met a few people that have had a hormonal imbalance that has caused their alopecia and it is worth a try.

I'm feeling way better and even though I now have two bald spots starting at my forhead it doesnt seem to freak me out as bad. (kind of wierd place though for them I thought) seeing how the first large one started on the right side of my head. With all the vitamins and being my own advocate at the doctors office my goal is to feel that I atleast did something in fight for my hair and if it all still falls out anyway with no answer then maybe just maybe coping would be easier. However I do not think that in the fight for my hair that I will be taking any of the other treatments that they tend to offer. Predisone (spell check) I heard causes massive bone loss. I do not know about anybody else but it sounds that being with out hair is a whole lot better than having joint pain for a good portion of my life.

So today I will be cleaning and organizing the house. Less clutter will definetly lift my spirits and Im going to try to start on my son's 3rd scrapbook album to get that creative groove back I once had. And even though my nails have become indented and are peeling and cracking all over the place i think I just might show them some love today too!! ~hugs to everyone~

You are so inspiring... You really do notice the small things in life and learn to appreciate them when you are faced with something like this. Keep your chin up and I am happy to hear that you are coping better!
