One spot, two spot...tooth!

Well it has been 3 months since I spotted my first bald spot. Im happy to report that the spot is growing back. However with one growing back two more started. I was a little sad at first but bounced back quickly.Then I just happened to go to the dentist a week ago for a checkup and after them taking an x-ray they found I had a massive infection in my jaw. Very strange as my jaw was not swollen my teeth didnt hurt. I had a little crack in one of my teeth i did not know about in the back and a…See More

"How bizarre, when I first got alopecia two of my back teeth cracked and split. I remember feeling that I was falling apart. Teeth stopped falling apart but hair carried on falling out. Interesting for sure."

Perception change

Hey everyone! I had a wonderful day at the pool yesterday. I have noticed that ever since my hair started falling out 3 weeks ago I'm certaintly starting to appreciate the smaller things. A good laugh or even a relaxing night at the pool.I went out and bought the vitamin biotin and the b complex's. We will see if it helps my hair and at the very least if it does not then I can say I might be a littler healthier..lol. Tomorrow morning I'm going down to the doctor and demand he gives me a hormone…See More

Frustrated

So of course Im steal dealing with the hair loss growing but what makes it worse is that I wish my boyfriend would talk to me about it. How he is feeling or just would recognize my feelings on the matter and how hard it has been for me. I asked him why he doesnt talk about it and he said that it just isnt all the important or life threatening so there is no need to throw around emotions. Ugh!! Seriously...I'm starting to wonder how important it needs to be to talk about it. If I had somewhere…See More

"Oh and I forgot to mention that while I was getting my hair cut it kept tangling all over the place in knots. My hair had never done that. I wonder if that is a part of the alopecia?"

Time to heal

This monday I got off of work and decided to take a shower. As I went to brush my hair I noticed a bald spot on the right side of my head about the size of my hand underneath the top portion of my hair. The only thought in my head was that my boyfriend decided to shave my head while I was sleeping as a joke. Believe me when I tell you that I came unglued and yelled at him.



Of course he did no such thing. I immediatley went to the doctor who tested for Lupas and did a full blood… Continue
