I know it's been months, literally, since I've even logged on to Alopecia World, and I'm so ashamed of myself.



I switched to the night shift at work, which has been crazy.



As soon as I got adjusted to that, I found out I am pregnant. I'm due in January, and spend most of my free computer time researching baby-related stuff.



My hair grew back this summer, likely from the hormones and prenatal vitamins. I really thought I'd be wearing a wig for the rest of my… Continue

I've been keeping my real hair really short lately... my wig doesn't seem to move on my head so much if my hair is short.
