Wow- you really spelled it out in words! Your poem should be distributed to all doctors, your feelings was mine 4years ago.
And a fantastic tatoo, if its yours :)

That was a beautiful poem you wrote!!! Absolutley beautiful!!!!
I don't know if you remember me, but we had met on another Alopecia support group.....I've lost the link, because I got a new computer after mine crashed & I lost everything!!! But it's the one that maude had......
Nice to see you are doing well!!

Love you r post about "this thing called Alopecia".
Your are an inspiration !

Awwww... thank you :) i am too ... this was a great idea and maybe it will help us all stay in touch more after the conferences!!!

Right back at you hun. Have a wonderful day my friend. x

Your comments was so neat! Ty Ty Ty!

Hello Dotty, I like your THIS "THING" CALLED ALOPECIA I feel the same. Nice tatto you have.

I love your story. My mother use to tell me that she had eyes in the back of her head too. lol! I haven't got my tattoo or tattoos yet, but I am sure the pain would not hurt as much as watching my hair fall out too. Thank you for helping me look at getting a scalp/head tattoo from a different perspective. I always thought about getting it, but I actually never seen anyone with one. It is good to know that someone else has one, especially a fellow Alopecian. Thank you for sharing your story with me and when I do get my tattoo, I will think of you and your story. Thanks again :)

Love your head art, much better than any hairdo!

I was actually thinking about getting one tattoo on my head/scalp area. I was wondering how painful it was getting yours, if you don't mind sharing it with me?

Hey girl.. loved to see that you were on here too.. I can not for the life of me get back onto MSN.. its very frustrating.. can you send me an invite for that site by chance? I miss everyone... PLUS oh yes.. my yahoo is gone. I do not know my password so please send me an email so I can get in touch.. please let everyone on MSN I say Hello my alopecian friends and especially Joanne...Hugs to you from the UP :-)

Hey! How are you doing? I love your tattoos!

Hi Dotty

Wonderful to see you here my friend. Hope you and Brett are both well.

Love (n) Hugs

Hi Dotty,
I think I have seen you on the MSN site many times. I check in on the message boards quite frequently. I have had alopecia areata for the past 6 years. It is comforting to come to these sites and meet so many people that have alopecia. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one! You are an inspiration.

im gettin my eyebrowz tatted!!! ahhh im so pumped

I think that you wishing that you could snap your fingers to make alopecia understood by eeveryone, instead of snapping to make your alopecia disappear shows me that it is possible that Della and I can one day accept it. I personnaly think she may accept it a little more than I do. She thinks your head is beautiful, by the way. But I don't condone that yet, she's only going to be 5!

Thanks! I love havin a mohawk, i feel like a bad ass. hahaha. I can see how the tattoos are a good way to open up conversations about alopecia. Very cool. I love it. Are you going to conference this year?

Dotty, I saw in someones comments that you may not make it to the coference...I will put together a "Dotty Fund" lol...This will be my 1st coference and I have to meet you. I'm sure I eventually will though...

Hope all is well with you and yours...Take care
