- Gracias Joy!! Es que me resulta muy dificil esto...siempre fui muy prolija y ahora me siento muy desarreglada...Acá el calor es muy intenso y quería saber si se aguanta una peluca...no quisiera que todo el mundo sepa de mi problema y me haga preguntas...El gorro lo usas sólo?

- I finally did it! I shaved it all off and you know what...it felt great and was worth it! It's funny how I still put a quarter size of shampoo on my head still!!! LOL! Oh well! It is such a relief not see hair clogging up the drain and just WAITING for it to all fall out!
I am in control!! Thank you guys for all your support! Bought a wig with my hairdresser..the Dr. thought it was real and asked what was I doing in his office!? Under a special treatment.he has been dealing with patients with AA for over 20 years with successful results! NO NEEDLES!!!! There is hope people! Don't lose it!!! God Bless! And Love you all!!
