hey em,

looks like our alopecia is running at the same pace. I found another 3 patches at the back of my hair 3 weeks ago and another 2 on front. Can hide it at the mo but wont be long. Sucks hey. Hows your regrowth ? Do you have the white stuff in your main patch ?

Still think it must have been brought on by stress with me.

Speak soon,

hi emma =) thanks for the comment. it feels better knowing i'm not alone in this. by the way, i love all of your pictures. work it!

take care,
<3 Lia

Hey Em, let's see the new hair!!!! , my big bald spot is completely covered now by about an inch of hair. Its very fine like baby hair but solid black. I am grateful for the re-growth but honestly I found 2 more patched about the size of a 10p. Also my hairline at the back is going too! 3 spots for 1 re-growth. Can't be good! Where did you find your other spots. I always do the mirror checks. I stand infront of onr with one in my hand. Hows life? any thing exciting?

hey girl, I am doing good, yes the appointments are usually useless. I got regrowth like mad on my big spot, about 1/2 inch long now, all black. Its just shit because its falling out the back of my head even more so. I felt all this itching in the back of my head today and I looked and there was more hair missing! Fuck! What a situation and a half. I hate how everyone tell me " Well its not noticeable at the bacK". For christ sakes you twat it doesn't matter! Its still missing! lol. Anything new and exciting with you? I been so busy with work , I'm working 2 jobs now and I am in Uni again. probably whats making more hair fall out. Did they ever mention it to you that it was stress induced??? They said that to me, I don't buy it though.

Em! How did the appointment go?

Hi just looked at website for pauls hair world, looks good, I work for the NHS and your GP should refer you to a dermatologist pretty quick there are goverment targets NHS have to hit, honest it wil save you money if you do need to start wearing wigs, get some anyway even if you dont need to wear them yet just to try them and see how you feel, then give them me hahahaha
How have your friends and family reacted to your alopecia? Did anything trigger it? with me i was onkly a kid of 11 so i dont think anything actually triggered it, think i got it cause god knew i was made to do alopecia story for the NHS website haha im a bald davina mccall lol

yeah it makes sense for it to go or grow, what hospital you under? you can get vouchers for wigs, you get 2 a year, there is a place in manchester called salon maier they are really good, i did a short film for the NHS and they filmed me at the wig shop, If you go on videos on this site type in claire NHS it should come up, its quite funny let me tell you the camera puts 10lbs on you so i look like a bit of a fatty, not arsed bout my bald head just my fat arse haha

im from stalybridge,
My husband works with a few people from middleton he works for bohle uk in dukinfield.
Do you find it easy covering your patch, when i had patches i used to wear my hair up with a hair piece.
I dont have any hair now havnt for about 10 years, but i love wearing my wigs, dont have to mess about straightning,washing, etc.... so gives me an extra half hour in bed in the morning haha.

Hi Emma, hurrah fellow manc where you from?

Thanks hun, appreciate it. I am going to post some of my spots I think. just need an extra hand getting at the back!!!!!

I'm going to be just fine I think. Just upset, Had a little hope, might have to be getting that wig soon. I'll have to get the electric blue one like britney!

Oh Em, I found another spot, its bad too. My hairline at the back is raised 1.5 inch in the middle. I had a cry today.

Hi Em,
All I can say is that the vitamins and Tea are making my urine look like something toxic and floresceunt. I went to see my dermatologist today and I got the needles. My head hurts. Have you gone in yet? I think I have some fuzzies growing, but what good is it when its spreading 2x faster!!!! ANyways I am off to yoga! Let me know how your appointment goes.

Hi Emma thanks for answering. Well I have have AA since 1997 approximately and the jokes are not really rude...one of them said he actually pictures me in my casket wearing still a cap.....that was actually funny.... : )

Well Emma, its hard the first time you notice it, isn't it ? ... now I have to wear a cap all the time, some people who does not know what is happening to me make jokes, but I prefer to laugh....

Hi Emma, my very first spot was like yours, I did not know until some one else told me....

Hey Emma, just got back from home, went to visit my mother and friends on vancouver Island. I saw a naturalist specialist there and told me to start drinking nettle tea, a b-complex vitamin, and an Ashwaganda Tincture. Interesting indeed........How are you? ANything new and exciting???

Hi Emma, That is total shit! you have to wait until you get more patches?? I am sorry to hear that. I see my doc again soon, but who knows.......its a waiting game! How are you doing??

Hey Emma, how are you? my hair is falling out everywhere. I had a good cry this morning over it as I stood at the sink with clumps of hair in my hands. When are you in to see your dermatologist?
