"Nasty Miserable People being humorous at the expense of another! Yeah I said it ... and not shocked at all. You do not have to put up with that nonsense. Myself, I walk out there without a wig and totally shaven, glad to annoy the crap out of them.…"
Cheryl, Co-founder commented on civilizedsavage's blog post Three months"I also think that you are actually in a good spot. Three months are all that you "wasted". The bigger question is what you are going to do for the next 3 months. You are already in the position to change directions. So here is my big cheer…"
Bk commented on civilizedsavage's blog post Three months"Your post reminds of what I felt like for the first couple of years of my alopecia journey. After I finally lost all my hair and started wearing a wig, I felt like I had transformed into this person that I didn't know, almost overnight. I…"
Norm commented on civilizedsavage's blog post Three months"Hey CS, - c'mon, you're not grotesque, you're just different, that's all. Everyone changes as they go through life - it's when you change quickly that it's tough to deal with. And it's fine to let off steam about…"

civilizedsavage commented on civilizedsavage's blog post Why yes, it *is* a wig actually"Ahhh, you guys are great.
The husband was buried in the garage and missed it all, I told him about it after they left and he just kind of face palmed. He was embarrassed for them and said, "They sure do put their feet in their mouth a lot"."

I can relate to how shallow strangers can be . Its magnified bigtime when its family acting this way.
It also sucks when you cant be relaxed in and around your own home sometimes.

- About Me:
- I first realized something was wrong when I was 6 years old. I was playing behind the couch and ran my hands through my hair to detect a nickel sized bald spot. I stayed quiet about it, thinking I would get in trouble.
By the time I was 12, I couldn't hide it any longer, I had so many spots converging together that the back of my head looked like a cheap Barbie doll's and a stiff breeze would reveal my Alopecia. My mother took me to a dermatologist who gave me steroid that didn't work. I dealt with it the rest of my life, never able to even wear a ponytail.
Between 20 and 30 my hair grew a lot, I'd still have a few spots here and there but most of my hair was waist length and thick, and could cover it well. I always had to wear it down though, or the bald patches on the sides would show.
When I turned 36 I moved to Spokane. I don't know if it was the climate, sorry from missing my family, poor diet or all of the above, but I lost all of my hair on my entire body, including brows and lashes within a few months.
Nowadays, I'm just looking for a reason to get out of the bed in the morning.

Three months

I've really let myself go. I don't even know the creature that looks back at me so sadly from the other side of the mirror. It took about three months to go from missing spots in my hair to no hair, no lashes, no brows, no anything. It took about three months to go from curvy and carrying a few extra pounds to not being able to fit into any of my clothes. It took about three months to go from being depressed to seriously contemplating all of my darkest thoughts.

Tallgirl said… - Interesting that you acquired more hair loss in your 30s, and after a move to a new area. I had regrowth from small child/teen AA starting at age 20, but got AT, AU when I was in my late 30s, after kids, with rude in-law, and with both the introduction of pets into our household and a move to a house with different water source (rural irrigation district). I sure wish I knew what triggers the genetic alopecia WE WERE BORN WITH to come and go at certain times of our life, don't you?

How are you today? I have AU, too.
