Barbara A Helnore commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"Thank you all for the well wishes, words of wisdom and prayers. I do have alot of good days but the bad ones really get me down. There are times I laugh at the whole thing and make jokes. I guess everyday life trials and tribulations are just that.…"
Mary commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"You don't have to live this way, Barbara. Emotionally, I didn't really begin to heal until I started going out in public as I am - bald. I didn't BEGIN to accept this new reality and move on until I just did the "fake it til you…"

Patty commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"I just joined today. I was diagnosed in May and only have 3 patches that are still hidden. I don't know what "kind" of Alopecia I will have but considering how big they have grown in 3 months it doesn't look good. I am responding…"
Karen Smith commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"I think that it is a tremendous loss and some days are better than others. When something else lousy is going on in our lives then the whole alopecia problem seems to be bigger. If you can get permanent eyebrows, these really helped my daughter. Her…"
Chefpam commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"I know where you are coming from. I am still shedding and drs don't know why. I was told by rheumy today that it could be a combination of my AS, thyroid, and anxiety. So he gave me anti depressants which I have always been against. I told him…"
Sam G commented on Barbara A Helnore's blog post Not sure if I really am "living" with alopecia"Hi Barbara, don't have any words of wisdom for you but wanted to send you some support. 8 Years is a long time to be unhappy, it does matter.

I have been without any hair for 8 years. I turned 50 yesterday and thinking back - I had the most beautiful thick brown hair and I still long to have it back. I still pray every day even though I know better. I still cry sometimes and feel sorry for myself. I even still dream that I wake up with it all back. I really do not know if I will ever really accept this. Oh sure I wear a wig and "paint" on eyebrows every day. I sweat like heck in the heat and itch. It can be miserable. I can fool…See More

- Hello and welcome, Barbara!
I know what you mean about hair ads -- taking care of your hair seems to be the #1 national pastime! I have had universalis for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf."
Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
LeslieAnn
