Hi Karen,
Sorry it has been a while. We have moved twice and I have had no internet for a while. Now we are back in Vic, we are in Mt Eliza. How is Amber doing? Jennifer still has no improvement. We are going to the skin and cancer found again next…
Thank you for your comment. Jennifer is doing great we have just moved and she has started her new school with a new wig. This time she has long hair and she is loving it. We have decided not to tell anyone but the teachers about her alopecia. I…
Hi Christel! :)

My name is Christel I am 32 years old, married and have two kids. My oldest, Jennifer has had Alopecia since she was two. My husband has Vitiligo also an auto immune disease. We have been trying different things, now we are trying DCP treatment. At christmas Jennifer's hair was growing really well, but now it has all fallen out again. She has no hair at all. She is pretty good about it, but every now and then she says that she wishes that she had hair. That is really hart breaking. We do not have much hope of Jennifer's hair ever returning, unless there is some medical breakthrough.
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes

I have a real hair wig, and i absolutelly love it! :) Ive had about 6 wigs since alopecia. ( 2 every year ).
I just got a new wig for the summer! and mine is longer as well :D, i guess long hair is in style these days ;)
And yes I tattooed my eyebrows a year ago, and i LOVE THEM. Its so great because I used to always have to think if they looked okay and everything, now i NEVER have to think about it. I absolutely love the tattoo.
The pain was COMPLETELY worth it, i really recommend it!
hope Jennifer is doing well :)
Hi Christel! :)
I am 15 years old and Ive had alopecia since I was 12. Now I have Universalis alopecia so I dont have any hair at all. Its pretty difficult on me but I know that hair isnt everything. I dont want it to change anything in my life so I just keep living even tho it is hard sometimes. I know it sounds cheezy, but life is like a rollercoaster, there are ups and there are downs. Even thought the downs can make you fall pretty low, and make you lose hope, dont forget there will always be high. You just have to wait for it and keep living.
I hope Jennifer will keep her confidance because it seems like she doing pretty good :)
Hows Australia?? Thats completely at the other end of the world!
Hi Christel,
I was wondering how the DCP was going if you were still doing it. Samantha is still doing the sister treatment and is having regrowth now. Even her brows are starting to make a slow appearance.
Nice tot talk to you this way. I know you have to start again with the treatment, but I am a bit sceptic about the results. So it will be not such a delusion when her hair failed to grow back
Hello! Thanks for the comment! This year at school I didnt wear a wig. I just used dark eyeshadow to cover the spots and always wore my hair down. I only got teased a few times because I kept it very private. My teachers knew which was a big help because my seat was always at the back of the room where no one could look at my head which was perfect and made me feel better. This year I am going to wear a wig though because my spots are getting bigger and harder to hide. I love Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts too! Im actually going to see Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts in September! Its my third time seeing Rascal Flatts =D I'm a huge fan of theirs. Country music is amazing<3 It has helped me so much. Thats so cool that you're from Australia! I live in New England. Keep in touch! Send Jennifer my hope and love =]
