hi lori,
i see you live in plymouth, i live in Sandwich. My story is a bit traumatic as one day my daughter had a friend over and i told her that i put tea tree oil in my hair and that i thought i was loosing my hair (but i wasn't at all). About 3 weeks later that same girl came over our house to spend the night. Both my daughter and I went to bed with clean, dry heads. We awoke to wet greasy heads. I was trying to figure out why our heads were so wet and greasy, i didn't even think about the girl. But after that my daughter and i began to loose our hair all on the crown of our heads. That girl had put some kind of chemical in our heads and combined it with oil. i have lost more then half the hair on the top of my head and my daughter's hair is thinning quickly. i am devistated especially for my daughter. i wish this happened naturally instead of us being assaulted while we were sleeping. that was a horrible, evil thing for that girl to do. i would like to prosecute that girl but i have no proof because we were sleeping. i wish i had called the police the morning we woke up with wet greasy heads so they could have documented it. i am so depressed lori, that is all i think of morning noon and night. And i'll never forgive myself for telling that girl my business. i think she is a sociopath from what i read. i need as much support as i can get because i am so traumatized by the event. it is not something that happens every day to people, it is a very weird thing that the girl did to us. i would love to hear from you. i know that i just need to practice acceptance but the way it happened is so hard to accept. i hope to hear from you lori, i could use a few friends here. thank you for listening. sincerely, megan
I'm new to this site and just joined the MA group. Your story and photos are inspiring. I've been working on alopecia in therapy and I'm ready to start having the time of my life as well. When I lost my hair 20 years ago I also lost my sense of humor (and I had a great one!) and recently I've been able to laugh about my alopecia with close friends so I feel I'm making progress. It's also a big step for me to break through isolation and join a group like this. You seem to be enjoying your life and it's good for me to see that. Just wanted to say "thank you."
thanks,
are there any group meetings in boston? i am thinkin of starting one like they have in wellesley, does boston needs a group? what do u think? would people want to come once a week?
Hi Lori,
How's things my friend? I wanted to let you know that we are planning an "Alopecia beauty day" at a boutique in Chelmsford on June 7th as our first official awareness event for our newly incorporated non-profit Alopecia company. They are opening the boutique just for us and we can try on clothes, take lots of pics, and just have fun together. I got at least 40 dress up costumes for the kids. They will look so adorable. We are going to do a buffet brunch at the hotel nearby first and then go to the boutique. I hope you can make it we missed you at the last one!!! I know it will be great!!! Miss you much. Say hi to the family. Please let me know so we can do a head count for the restaurant reservations.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Hi Lori! Thanks so much for your message. It was great to hear from you. I haven't been on here forever but need to get back involved. I'm loving your photos--you look so pretty at the falls. Take care and we'll keep in touch!

HI Lori,
I'm trying to get a head count for Saturday. Can you please let me know for sure if you are planning to attend. It's the Cheesecake factory at 11 a.m. Thanx a bunch. I hope you can make it. I can't wait to meet everyone. I have a little something for everyone :-) Hope to see you there.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Hi Lori,
Boston is the city we are planning to meet in. We are just finalizing the place and time. So far there are 4 definites and of course hubby's and children if you like. There are another 4 possibles and 2 of them are Lori's...lol. Any questions, feel free to email me at hottie_dotty@hotmail.com.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Hi Lori,
Looks like September 13th it is. We are throwing out ideas on places. I have had suggestions of The Cheesecake factory, Vinny T's (Italian), and Firefly (BBQ). I was thinking around 11 - 12ish for brunch or lunch. Let me know your thoughts. I'm really getting very excited. I can't wait to meet everyone.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Hi Lori,
I'm just checking in to see if you're still interested in the get-together? I'm pretty sure it is going to be the weekend of September 13th & 14th. There's a tattoo convention that weekend that I would just love to see, so, I'm trying to coordinate the "Bald Ladies Do Boston" (as my friend Joyce has taken to calling it) and the tattoo convention into one weekend. We are even thinking about a Limo for the evening :-) Let me know what you think.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Hi Lori! I love the photos! Your face is as lovely, thoughtful and kind as I imagined it to be. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. It looks like you and your husband have some wonderful times together. I was just up riding horses with my sister in Idaho this weekend, so I really enjoyed seeing you on those beautiful beasts! I am so glad to continue getting to know you. I have really appreciated your friendship.
Hi Lori,
How are you doing? I've had aa for about 30 years. Are you okay with it? I wrote a book, just out, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" That's my philosophy!
