Sis. Theresa, my how God has used you in a way that you may never know. I remembered when I was dealing with the first stages of Alopecia, Church was high on my list and how was it going to fit with the "New Me", Your profile was the first I saw on this site and from you I have gotten my strength. I know where my help comes from but I also know that God puts people in our path that will help us, without them knowing. Im greatful to God that He is using you to help give me strength. I miss my hair but I know it will grow again and may fall out but Im ok knowing that Troubles dont last always : )
PS.....Ive been playing the song from your first video "Praise You In This Storm"..its on my p;aylist and Im sure my coworkers are wondering if I will ever play anything else LOL...
Have a Blessed evening and continue to be the Blessing that God has hand picked you to be : )

@Sheri...Oh my sister, bless you. I smiled when you said I was "hand picked"...All of this is new to me too. When I began losing my hair March of 2011...I was losing it mentally. I went into a panic. I thought about dying and leaving it all. I had all kinds of thoughts going through my head. I think my thought life would have killed me before the alopecia would. So, I had to get it together...this is me getting it together, talking about it, making videos and then God allows me to meet people like you and so many others. I am grateful that you encourage me back, I need you too. People can be so cruel, so unfair, so insensitive and lack understanding. I have the faith to do with I am doing. Oh, I believe and have faith that my hair will grow back. But more than that, I have the faith to stand and stay strong no matter what! Cause stuff happens! I wear this alopecia like a loose garment...when my hair was all grown in, I thought oh, it's over. And all in a moment..not so! So, do I go back to my negative thought life or do I praise Him in the storm? Yeah, I think I'll praise Him and make another video and have faith and keep living! Love ya Sheri...

@Kevin...Hello there! I most defiantly will be praying for your recovery. I do know how you feel. A friend just recently told me about a hair nutrient all natural pills (drug free)that I've been taking for 5 days. (Viviscal) Look it up. I washed my hair after taking the pills for only 3 days and I noticed a small amount of hair loss. This surprised me because during my shampoo's I lost lots of hair. I was going to wait for about a month before I said anything about it but when I saw your message I thought I'd share it. Oh, I do not have ridged or pitted fingernails. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. Blessings

@Paul...Thank you for writing. We are in this together and I am so happy for this outlet of ppl who understand what we are going through. I need to put up another video because I have more white hair growing in my bald spots but my spots had widen and of course new spots have formed. I am hopeful though. Like I told Kevin, I was introduced to an all natural hair supplement called (Viviscal)It stops hair loss and promotes hair growth. Of course before I took it I researched it. I liked what I read so I decided to try it...like you said, I have nothing to lose. Look it up for yourself and research it if you like. It can be ordered on line if you decide to purchase. I use my Aloe Vera plant after every shampoo like a ritual, I am exercising daily and I am changing my diet. I am changing my total life style and taking responsibly for what I put in my body and how I treat it. Also, backing away from stress by have an Hakuna Matata attitude...that's really my faith working! Please keep in touch. Blessings
