Lol love your photos too Daria! You look great! Your kids seem so outgoing. Love the tee your husband was holding too :D

I remember "Bold is the new Black" was another good tee slogan..hahaha

Was reading your About Me, and yup, that sums up how I feel!

Lucky me too! I'm the only one in my family. My mom is the only other one with any type of auto immune disorder and her's developed as mild psorisis.
When you were family planning, did you ever take consider passing along your alopecia, was it at all factor for you and your husband? I'm scared that I would knowingly pass it to my would-be children......
You seem to have a very nice family that cares for you alot :-D

Yeah, last time I went to a hair shop, the girl asked if I was going thru chemo and I explained what alopecia universalis is and she said: "shut up, so you're saying you have a permanent brazilian wax? lucky you". And I said, "yes but I'm bald" and she said "well, who cares that's what wigs are for" ;-)

Thanks for the compliment Daria! :-D
Can I ask, have any of your children developed any forms of alopecia?

Hi Daria! The tattoos are great! I am so happy I had it done! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about getting it done and I would most definately recommend going to Jeffery Segal...he is amazingly talented!! I will post pictures soon so you can all see the results! I

Hey Daria! Alex is a great name for a girl :) My wigs are not vacuum. I don't think I could stand one of those down here in the Florida heat. One of my wigs is from rene of paris and the other is from iwig.com. The one from iwig.com was a little pricey but so worth the investment, it's the best wig i've ever had and it's lace front so the hairline is amazing and actually looks like it's my scalp more so than any other wig I've ever had.

HI Daria, It would be great if they had one of those lunches in Gettysburg! Glad you had a great time!

Hi Daria, I was invited to one of those lunches but was unable to go. Maybe next time!

By the way, I like your page colors

Darla,

LOL! Not too stupid... I had to look! When you click the edit box above the photo's. There is a click down menu. You can chose thumbnail, album or slide show.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi Daria, and welcome to the site! Yes, I did meet with Peggy Knight first before New Hair Tech. I'm gonna say it was about 8 or 9 years ago, and at that time the cost was $4000, I believe. We never went through with that because I still had a lot of hair then & wasn't ready to shave. Then I went to the NAAF conference about 2 years later & met several people with gorgeous hair from NHT, so I met with them and immediately decided that was the way I wanted to go. They are not as expensive as Peggy Knight, but that's about all I know. I do know a girl who switched from PK to NHT, but I haven't talked to her in a while. I'm pretty sure she was very happy with her switch!
Also, I got my eyebrows tatooed last year in the Cincinnati area. It has been a huge weight off of my shoulders! :)

Thanks Daria, but honestly this site is only as good as all of its members ;)

Hi there Daria - Great site huh? Things here have been good - getting ready for spring! How have you been?

Thanks for complimenting Alopecia World. I certainly hope that you will always enjoy being an integral part of our beloved community. :-)

HI Daria,
We live in Gettysburg PA, but we go to Maryland alot. Hope you have a great day!!

I remember when I bounced between wigs, scarfs and being bald, after a while my friends could not tell me if what I was wearing on my head the night before. With close friends and family it becomes like glasses & contacts. Unless it is something new, they stop noticing. In fact after a while most of my friends and family preferred me without anything on my head, they said it just was more "me"
