Hi Denise, thanks for the post. To answer your question, yes I lost all my brows and eyelashes for years, now have some regrowth...not much on my brows but enough to put mascara on my lashes although I normally forget. I have my brows and eyeliner tatooed and it was the best thing I did when I became AU. I hated losing them more than my hair!

HI Denise--how have you been? Any news on if you are going to go to the conference?
I haven't been on in awhile and just wanted to shoot you a hello!

Hi Good Morning Denise,
Yes, that is a good idea, about the salon's I will try that, I actually order one from Paula
Young, and might send it back too much hair. I'm so glad to have found this site, it is
nice to see how each person does with the condition. and how they go about wig wearing
and buying.. No one has any idea when it first starts on what to do. So a big thank you
for everyone out there. Thanks for any advise you have or what you have found that makes it a bit easier for you. Hope Spring gets here soon,, We have about foot and half of snow today from last night...

Good Morning.
Thank you for lovely words of advise. I can use each word you all have said. I know I'm losing my more each day, I have received a wig from Paula Young but it is way to much hair for me. So I don't know yet, what I'm going to do,,, I really don't know who I would take it too, or maybe I will just order something else with less hair. Thanks. I know some days are worst then other right now. I hope it get easier. I think it might after I come to terms with all of this and my family too, and everyone else I know...

Hey Denise,

Sorry to be so slow to respond. There is a bunch of information about the conference at www.naaf.org
You have to go if it is at all possible for you. It's a great time. Take Care, Matt

Love your wig Denise, where did you get it from?

HI Denise,
What an interesting job you have! You seem like a very upbeat person--a big plus when dealing with alopecia!
I work at a hospital here in Seattle-- I am a microbiologist , but most of my friends think I have too much personality to be a lab rat. I do a lot of volunteer work with kids on the side. I too am trying to get the time ok'd for June, but am also thinking about being a counselor at Alopeciapalooza in August. I will keep you know as I figure it out. And it will depend on what time I can get off at work. Take care. Talk to you soon.

Hi Annette,
I'm very very new to the site. and very scared about losing my hair. Just starting.
I have been to OBGYN, and have been told it is due to MEMO. pause, but HUM
I don't think anyone would lose this much.... I have had some truma, in my life
and maybe it , is from stress so far I have loss it under my hair on the top of
my head. I have order a wig from Paula Young. and not sure I can wear it.
How do you get the nerve to wear a wig ........ I 'm wondering how do you find
someone closer to where you live with this conditions. thanks..... so sad.........

Hi Denise,
I am living in a city about 20 minutes north of Seattle. I see you mentioned 'shift' work. Are you working at a hospital? I do that kind of work. And yes to your next question too, I am bald. This week I tried out a new wig--different from the last one. It was a good step for me. Are you still thinking of going to the conference? I have been looking into airfares....
