Hi! I just watched you video response to me right now (thanks!). You answered one of my main concerns which is "Will I lose all of my hair?" I still sometimes wonder if I will, though, because I've only had Androgenic Alopecia for a few years and I've already lost more than half the thickness of my hair. I used to have a bush, but now it's much thinner, much flatter, and to some extent it's also not as curly/wavy. Naturally this has caused me a great deal of stress. Sometimes I don't feel the same love for shopping and Halloween the way I used to because I always wonder how I would still look in a certain outfit if I didn't have my hair.
Did you ever reach a point when you thought your hairloss was lightening up and then it started again? I'm currently taking birth control pills to see if it's a hormonal problem, but there hair is still coming out in the comb. As you said in one of your videos - it's a pain in the ass!
But thank you for being so kind to me. Have a great day!

I so admire you and thank goodness you put your loss to someone elses use. Your loss became someone elses gain!! I am a firm believer everything happens for a reason.

Hi Elline,
I just wanted to let you know that my publisher put your "Thank You" video to me on the corporate web site...you are the BEST! You can see it at: www.nightengalepress.com. XO!

I've been meaning to come over here to your "space" to just say hello.

I've seen your videos and I'm just very proud how we ALL have just stepped up and out.

Take Care

Elline,

Do you have any recommendations in the Houston area? THANKS!

Hi Elline!
I was recently diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia and I see you have it too. I am not too familiar with it, but I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what to expect.
Have a great evening!

Thanks, Elline. I saw the dermatologist yesterday - she still strongly feels it's telogen effluvium. The shedding is slowing down somewhat so we'll wait and see (and try not to think about it!!!). Glad to know there's options though....

Elline,

From my profile I'm sure you learned that I'm not sure if I actually have AGA or telogen effluvium. However, all I know is that I'm loosing hair! While I still have hair I just don't like it. It is so thin and lifeless. What would you advise while I'm waiting to see if things change? I've pretty much lost most hair in the temles and my part is widening at the front. I just want to feel like my old self again! Thanks for being such an inspiration - at least I know there is hope for the long haul!

Good Morning! Hi, my name is Steve and I am in the city all the time! Where is your salon? Is it OK for guys to show up? I would love to meet some alopecians scalp-to-scalp! ;)

Elline,
Thanks for the heads up on your Phoenix connection; I am trying to work out a day of beauty consultations for a small group of ladies here called the Desert Divas. Mario is Sandy's make-up artist at the salon, who's putting the day of beauty tips together for us. Thanks again for the information! :)

Hi Elline..Its funny were both trying to assist others..I think its a AA thing..Either way,its a good thing..God Bless..Bob

Hi Elline
I checked out your website and I'll keep an eye open for a Toronto workshop but I'm curious about what goes on at a workshop. I'll let my support group know about it too, we've actually got a wig maker coming to our next meeting to talk about the different types of wigs and answer questions for us. Have you ever heard of Josef Tanti?
I have to buy a wig, just to wear during interviews and certain social events, the ones I have are very frizzy (I noticed at the last meeting everyone had very nice wigs, I'd be ashamed to wear mine after that). I just wish they weren't so expensive! Anywho, I look forward to seeing you sometime! :)

Hi Elline
I caught one of your videos just now and think that the awareness you are spreading is great! You have a wonderful attitude - keep up the great work! :)

I love your videos of information and empowerment! You are a blessing! :) You are going to help so many with your words of wisdom, keep spreading your love! Thank you!

Saw your video of you commenting on what it is like to walk down the street bald, and I completely agree. Friends ask me why I don't do it and to just "be myself" but its overwhelming to be the focus of so many stares from people wondering "is she sick" to people glaring or staring out of rudeness. So! I am going to use your words to help me explain to them why I don't want to prance down the street basically naked. Its uncomfortable and people think I'm dying or a radical punk rocker or something. Whew!

Thanks Elline...I can always use a ""atta boy"" every now and then,and back at ya..If I can even help one persons life,a little easier than mine,then its a good day..
..Keep the faith..give the love..share the happiness..Bob : )

Thank you for the invite as well. I will not be able to make this in the foreseeable future based on my location.
