Amberm, Love your profile picture. Just read one of your posts on gluten free diet...50% regrowth sounds promising. I'm losing everything!!! Although, life is good. It's weird at first this alopecia was devastating, and now...I have no real emotion to it. Love my hairpieces, and myself...still. So weird. I love your page. LOVE your artwork. How much is an artpiece? I would love to get some artwork for our livingroom. Wondering if you paint from pictures? Let me know...because your artwork is wonderful.

you should ask to someone who makes different things with pearls
it's very interesting what you say about gluten intolerance because I want to try food without gluten
take care of you

Happy Valentine's to you too pretty Amber!
There’s a story behind my pin name. My internist is my age. It has made for some interesting conversations, me being in law enforcement and him in medicine. His bedside manner is great, but he has of course been of no help with alopecia. In my visit to him for an unrelated condition, he looked at me when I showed him my shaved head a said with a smile, “You look like Nefertiti, queen of the Nile”. I just stared at him and the pause between us almost got uncomfortable when he said, “Nefertiti was a beautiful woman.” I replied, “I know, thank you but my hair lost has been a tough adjustment.” He then said, “I know, I’m sorry.”

After I got home, I refreshed my memory of Nefertiti and found a site on her that also mentioned that she and most Egyptian women wore a kohl product on their eyes called, galena. I chose it for that reason. Also it’s a combo of my nickname Lena and where I’m from, Georgia.

hi amber!!

thank you for the nice comment!!=]

Hi there, thanks for the comment. I must say you are an amazing looking bald woman - go you. Painting must be such an outlet for you, that and your wonderful children. Great to find someone of similar age going through this for some reason and your shaved photos show a similar pattern to my current look. Anyways thanks again.

Yes I've seen a dermatologist at the Georges Dumont. She perscribed a lotion for me to use and if that doesn't help she plans on doing the injections. I see her again next month. I noticed my first spot last month and now have several. I have good days and some bad but my family has been very supportive and I do find that this site is helpful as well. Thank you for adding me.

Hi Amber

I have been enjoying looking at your art and blog. I love the way you look without your wig and with the scarf on your blog pic - I am a bit of a scarfaholic myself. :o)

Vicky

Wow you look stunning and your paintings are truly unbelievable. You look fabulous without your wig. My daughter has had totalis since she was almost 4 and has had regrowth this being her 2nd time. She was wearing a wig for about 10 months but recently decided she didnt want to so we let her go to school without and she was so confident her head held high.
It seems that alopecians are such beautiful people (I have yet to see one that has a knobby head lol)
take care :)

Thursday's life drawing class was great! The 2 hours just flew by and I'm so looking forward to next week. They also have a workshop every couple of months plus one group meets once a month for portrait drawing. I'm hoping to go to both eventually. John my hb has volunteered to be a model but keeping still for even a minute is not really what he's about let alone 10 minutes or longer :)

Hi Amber, just got to tell you I'm going to a life drawing class this Thursday morning...I'm so thrilled. I did this a few years ago and loved it so I'm hoping this will kick-start my artistic endeavors once again.

Thanks for your nice comments, Amber. Your artwork is truly sublime.
