Hair Hair everywhere...I know exactly what you mean when you are cooking...hair on the pillow case, in the bed sheets, on everything I grab in the bathroom. But no, I would rather have shedding than to have no hair at all. That is just ME. I just wish the shedding would stop and I could keep what I have left.

I agree with Lexi. Shedding is better than no hair at all. I regret the day when we shaved Arnav's hair because of hair-shedding. That made him & me more nervous & conscious.

I have been dealing with losing my hair going on 10 months now. I haven't been able to hide it now for a few months so I thought to myself, What harm could it do to shave it? It couldn't look any worse than it already does, and also What benefits do I have to keeping it long? I found the pros of shaving outweighed the cons, but it took a long time to get to that point. So you have to really be sure of your choice if you come to that. I will tell you it is amazing to take a shower and not have handfuls of hair reminding me daily of what I am going through.

Thank you guys so much for your comments. I had thought I was ready to shave my head, but I'm not so sure now. I do have great support from friends but not so much from my parents. I understand that they worry, but I also think that they don't quite get the situation. I'm so glad to see that there are other people going through the same thing though!

YES!! Although, I buzz/shave my head now so no more hair everywhere! I like it so much better now, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you are fully ready for it. However, your hair will grow out if you don't like it. I had hair everywhere! It made me sick to my stomach to see it. Now, I never think about it. Just take baby steps, and try to remember that you are not alone!
