Hi Ev, there is a Brunch on Saturday the 26th of June at 10am in Tempe, would love to meet you and share my experiences with Alopecia. I have had AA AT and now AU since I was 3 years old, so a lifetime of dealing with it.
Wendy:)

Hi Ev,

Just wanted to say "hi", I'm from Scotland, living in N. Phoenix. What brought you to AZ?
Jules

Sorry that I did not get back to you sooner. Had some computer problems for a few weeks that resulted in my not being able to regularly access my e-mail accounts. Today I finally got them resolved permanently, I hope. Appreciate your June invite to Phoenix, however, Saturdays I have a volunteer commitment that keeps me in Tucson for the day. It's good to be in touch with others.................

Hey Ev,
Just wanted to say hi. :)

Ev - Appreciate you sharing your pictures. I've got similar losses of hair on the sides of my head and had a circle on the top like the one you show but am in the midst of regrowth in that spot. It's helpful to not know I'm alone. Wish I'd gotten to meet you in Phoenix last weekend but I'm recovering from a broken patella. Interested in learning why someone from Ireland comes to Phoenix. Have fortunately had the opportunity to visit twice and you come from a beautiful country. And from your photos it looks like you've found some of the best spots to hike and climb in the US. Hoping to be at a meeting in Phoenix in the future and get to meet other AZ Alopecians.

Hello, and thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to see you again at another meeting soon.

Hey Ev, I really enjoyed meeting you too. I am studying Occupational Therapy at A.T. Still University in Mesa.
It's Monday...have a fabulous week! :o)

Hey beautiful girl! It was so great to meet you yesterday!
It will be nice to get to know you better and rely on each other to vent, etc... Take care! :)

thanks. unfortunately i won't be able to make it. i just found out and have other obligations this weekend. the next one...

Thanks!! It is at Bonelli Regional Park...this funky little reservoir in the middle of everything. I hope your friend does well.

Great attitude :-)

That's very expensive! That's how much my new vacuum wig cost(I just ordered it from Peggy Knight)! I wonder what kind of wigs they sell? Well, I would rather you go on holiday too! You can always find a really decent wig at a wig shop for less than $200.00. And if you don't like it, then you didn't have thousands of dollars to grieve over. It looks like you are doing pretty good without a wig so far, but if you ever do need one, I suggest you go to a wig shop. I get my wigs from Panorama in Phx. They are very inexpensive, and sell the same brands that everyone else does. I also just discovered Brandy's wig shop in Scottsdale, thanks to Kelly. She has been going there for years. I got my last wig there. I love it! And she gave me a really good discount. She even adjusted my wig to fit my small head. Yeah, definetely try those wig shops first. You will be surprised at how good an off-the-shelf wig can look.

All is well w/ me! :-)

Hi! So how are you these days? I just saw your new pictures. Thank you for sharing. Have your bald patches progressed slowley, or quickly? btw, you are doing great at covering up your AA w/ your hair! I'll see you at the meeting. Take care, Sarah

I just started with the triathlon thing. I am doing my first international distance next weekend. It will be my third triathlon. I would like to some day do an Ironman...but it will be a while before I can really train for that. In the mean time I am really enjoying the shorter distances.

Ev...that's ok.

If you'd like to tell your story that would be ok...the book is inspiration...words are inspiration too...so think about that and let me know.

take care

Yes this is my new vacuum wig :-)

Question Ev...

How are you first?

I was wondering if you tried the website www.modelsmaham.com to look for a photographer in your area and then asked to see if they can donate their time in return...they'll receive credit in the book and exposure. I really would like you to be a part of this book...

Let me know

Hey,

Yeah the clip in extensions are great! I absolutely love them and they've given me so much confidence back. I do have the clip in ones, and usually only clip in 4 out of a set of 8.... 2 across the back of my head and 2 on the sides. At first it was a bit tricky to put them in, but since your hair on the top of your head covers them, they don't have to be put in perfect. You can do them yourself for sure! I can even put them on without a mirror now!
