Heeey Tamara.... sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time. All this stress you're having isn't doing you any good, so maybe you need to view it from a slightly different perspective.... like, what are the things you can do something about, and what are the things you can't? I know it's easy to say, but there's no point worrying about stuff you can't affect, because there are some things in life you simply can't do anything about and you just have to sit back and accept them.
Anyway, you're no good to Rick if you're all over the place yourself, are you? So try and be Teflon Tamara and just let as much stuff slide by as you can. And who cares about your hair? You're still you with or without it! make sure that B/F of yours knows that! - OK??? :)

I won't let myself be all over the place crazy around Rick. We joke around and still have our loving relationship. Hes been in my life since I was 12, Im 26 now, and when my dad passed in '07 and I was stuck in a hospital bed because of Alopecia, he was the one that video tapped the whole thing, for me. Hes my friend, and I love him and i can't go crazy/crying Tamara in front of him. My hair...to hell with it, its hair. If I go completely bald again, I go bald again. I'm just trying to take my life one day at a time and roll with it!

Tamara i am sorry for all the stress in your life right now, all i can say is that i believe that stress has a lot to do with Alopecia.I myself have lost most of my hair in the last 6 months ,however at this time i am getting steroid shots and can see quite a lot of hair coming back again.There's no easy answer but please dont give up hope when you do there is not much left. I will pray for your stepdad and for you love clare.

I am so sorry sweetie. I am going through something similar, but it's with my very severe scalp pain and inflammation. I know what that feeling is like to have a almost pain free tolerable day and then have it come back full force and drive me to tears, insanity and more. You get your hopes i\up for something good to finally happen and then your crushed. You HANG in there. This is the hardest battle of my life so far and I can relate to your feelings of hopelessness. Stay strong for yourself and for Rick. He sounds like a truly amazing man and reminds me of my own dad. Those people are so precious in our lives. Hang on to hope and I will keep you and Rick in my prayers. Don't give up! Believe me, if I haven't given up yet, then you most certainly can't either because I am NOT a strong person!

Sorry to hear your alopecia is kicking in again. Dang it I'm a little ticked off too!
Hang in there.

Tamara, I'm sorry that you are going through this right now. I have lost and grown back countless times and I hate the roller coaster too, I have thought to myself if your going to go...go already. It is cruel the way regrowth can give hope, and than have that hope dashed. I am in a remission right now, and nearly all spots are filled in, every time I want it to be the last time, I am thankful everyday for my hair, and try to stay positive that I will keep it this time. I know the devastation of losing again, but still I have hope...don't give up yours!

Hang in there girl! Every 3 years or so I let my hair fill in for the winter. I just want to see what it's doing, still patching of course. I'm so thrilled to shave it off again just so I don't have to worry about it. My friends and family all think I look stupid with hair at this point. When there is love, there is strength! You are beautiful and your bf knows it or he would leave. Rock on and be proud of the real you inside! Much love and happiness!

Tamara...Im so sorry that you have to go thru this awful rollarcoaster ride again. Its just not fair to give and then take away so quickly. But remember you are still the wonderful, beautiful and inspiring woman that you are. We are here to listen to you when ever you need us or need a shoulder. Spending lots of love your way.
