Things to be Grateful for Today

For the pas 2 years I have been getting the very painful kenalog steroid injections so that y hair can grow back. I have not lost all my hair just yet and I have been told by my doctor and his staff that I am one of the many lucky people who have this disease that still have this amount of hair. I have tried wearing wigs, at home treatments, taking vitamins, cutting my hair shorter to give it more volume and so on..... At time I wish that all my hair will finally fall out so I can finally…See More

I have been dealing with Alopecia for the past 2 years. Doctors keep telling me that is stressed related. Most of my hair has fallen out on the back of my head but i still am able to cover it up with the remaining of the hair i have. I am tired of all the treatment. The injections are very painfull. I have also lost my eyebrows but with the injections they have regrown. My eyelashes are falling out too. I want to shave off all of my hair but i am very anxious. I just want to know how long doe… Continue

Susan - Jon's Mum said… - Sorry I haven't got back to you. Have been away for a few days and had no computer.
So sorry to hear that you are stressed. I know that stressing about it definately makes the hair loss worse. My son shaved his head when he got to the stage that their wasn't much hair left. He felt that he was going to lose it anyway. People shave their heads to take a measure of control of the situation.
Have you thought about getting a wig. Alot of people wear wigs to help them feel more confident in themselves.
Reading discussions and blogs on this site gives you an insite into how other people are coping with AA. You can then enter into discussion with these people. I know that this has helped me a great deal.
I know with my sons situation I hope that he will get to the point where it just doesn't matter anymore. Because underneath you are still the same person and the people that matter to you will still see you for who you are. People that don't look past your looks are not worth knowing are they?
Love yourself for who you are. You can still spend time on your looks with makeup, hats or scarves, bandanas and wigs. Some AA sufferers have a few wigs and choose what they want to wear each day. We have tried to encourage our son to turn it into a fashion statement. He has an earing in one ear. He wants to get a brow piercing - though he has no eyebrows and a nose piercing. Some people find very different head wear to make them feel special. But don't forget that you are special just the way you are.
I don't know if this helps any. Please let me know your thoughts.
Take care
Susan
