Warm for the winter but is it going again?

Winter is here. As the temperature has dropped I have appreciated more then ever that I have had virtually full re-growth. My hair is now cut to a number 3 and has grown back all over my head apart from a small patch on the left side. I say that but did it not grow back completely and then it has it fallen out again? I’m not sure. There is also a slight shortage of hair over my ears on both sides but compared to how it was before I shaved my head last year it is brilliant and so warm compared to when I had no hair at all.

Regardless of if my hair all returned and has started to fall out again of if it just never grew back in the patch, I’m just glad that there is something there to keep me warm for the moment. Whatever happens I am going to shave it all off again come spring. The summer was great with no hair to worry about. I just hope that I can choose how I am from now on and be bald in the summer and hairy when it’s cold.

What a weird thing this alopecia is!!!!!!

Ray its been such a full circle for you over the past months. I am so happy you have some hair to keep your head warm. I just feel frozen all the time just now, I wear a buff on my head around the house to keep any warmth in. Congratulations x

If it weren't for the fact that I agreed to let my hair grow back in because Todd asked me to, I would be sitting here enjoying a bald head, free of irritation, inflammation, and all around discomfort because I can't stand how having hair on my head feels -- it's hot, itchy, and I'm too lazy to spend the time styling it when it does finally grow out enough to do anything with it.

I'm going to wait til after the holidays, then Todd and i will have the discussion again about taking it all off. If he wants me to wear a wig on our wedding day, then I'll do that for one day only, but right now I just wish it was all gone!!!

I've just checked my pictures of my Alopecia and it does look as though the hair had grown back where there is now a bald patch so it may be starting again. I just don't care anymore. I am me no matter what and the thing is I like being bald. I'll leave it a bit longer to see if it grows back or more falls out and if it does I'll just shave it off again. I just hope that it stays long enough to get me through the cold of winter.

The old fox may have come back but he'll find that I just don't care.
