Hey Blast from the past!! So awesome to hear from you!!! Happy to hear all is continuing to go well with your hair..... keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Things with me ... my hair - still chasing spots. You know as long as it will continue to stay "just spots" and not develop into total hairloss I think I can handle it.... or at least getting used to it! I do have some very sad news - last month My sweet little dog Bentley died. He was 15 and had a long and wonderful life - trying to find comfort in that but miss him so badly!!! Things at work have picked up - hopefully we have turned a corner for good! Just re-joined my neighborhood kayak group for the season ... so looking forward to that! Keeping busy!
How about you - fill me in with what you have been up too!
Nice to hear from you. I've also not been on the site very much lately, but I do still come here occasionally to check up on my AW friends! Things have been good on the hair front! I'll need to send you an email so we can catch up!
Hey, John! That's basically exactly what I mean. All my spots are "filled in," but I think I still have some general thinness. I'm using Nioxin as per hairdresser advice. My sister thinks it's because after the trauma related to hair my hair is gonna seem thinner, though apparently I'm the only one noticing it.
The spot on the nape of my neck is "waxing and waning" a little bit. There is hair growth in the center but the edges look a little bigger.... the more concerning new development in a new little spot that started a week or so ago that is RIGHT on top of my head!!! Keeping it drowned in steroid foam and knock on wood it will stay pretty small-- fingers crossed!
Yes work is still slow... perhaps it should be stressing me more but really I have enjoyed the shorter days lately.... the days are getting longer and weather warmer so it's not so bad to get home early!! :)
What's up with you?? Hope the AA is still in remission!!!
All is good here.
Went and saw the Last Station today. Not a bad film.
Glad your hair is hangin in there. Mine is doin okay too.
Geared up for NAAF. I hope I still have alopecia in June!!! Lol
Hey John! I log in here pretty frequently, but haven't been hanging out for long. A lot of the friends I have made here over the past year also seem to be slowing down a little (I think that's a good sign in general). My hair is doing great and I hope your hair continues to be strong as well! I keep meaning to drop you an email - maybe this week I'll actually get around to doing it! Take care, Bro!
How are you?
All is good here. I think I am at AA these days with a shaved head till all the patches are gone.
My legs and arm hair are getting close to baseline pre-alopecia

Looks like you got a boat load of hair there John. Don't think you look like "The King" though, there is no curl in your lip. 8^) trudge on
Hey John...touching base, I'm still here, new head of hair. Still have spots but you can't see them. So not so good and yet great news at the same time. Hope your doing well.
Hey JOhn....I'm loving my wig and the fact it is the exact colout to my natural hair is brilliant....the best thing is that noone even knows I'm wearing a wig...I have since heard about 3 girls I know who live locally that also have alopecia and wear wigs. I gues this condition is a lot more common than I thought. So how are things with you? I hope all is well :)
Hey John. Thanks for leaving me a comment and apologies for the time that it has taken to reply. I've had a busy week so I've just had a few quick visits to the site.
Glad to hear that you're doing well and that the spots are filling in. Great news.
Thanks for the comments on my regrowth blog. I did it to try to make myself feel a bit more positive and I was pleasantly surprised to see the improvement in only a matter of months. I think that I need to try and forget about AA.
There is a new patch but it's still really small. The itchiness has gone but it is still a little on the pink side. Hopefully it won't develop into anything too bad. Shedding is really minimal right now so fingers crossed that keeps up.
Hope you've had a great weekend. I've had a lovely chill-out day today after a busy week. I definitely need to step up the exercise programme as I can still feel the extra Christmas weight still on me... don't think I'm up to your jogging standard yet though so I'll stick with the wii-fit for now!
Hey! My hair is slowly filling in to the point where right now in the back it only looks like I have a wicked weird part, but even that is hidden with the natural lay of my hair. 2010 has been good, but a bit hectic. I have a big audition coming up tomorrow so wish be broken legs.
Good news about the hair and the job! Congratulations!
All is good here. My hair is slowly filling in. It seems like the white hair is slowly turning darker. I cant believe it's going on 3 years now.
We had an interesting meeting last night. There was a woman there who is 27 and has had alopecia since she was 13. She had never been to a meeting before and nearly broke down. Good news was after some of us old timers told our stories she was able to tell hers and actually laugh. It's a great feeling to be able to help others who are struggling.
I did a step class today and it's kickboxing tomorrow. Woo Hoo!
All is good here despite the pissing rain.
New job huh? I dont remember that. I hope you are liking it!
We had our NAAF meeting tonight. It was really good to see some old friends and make some new ones too.

Happy new years buddy!
Congrats on the milestone run! 10 miles is very impressive indeed.
Good luck for that half-marathon in April.
