Also done the jabs in scalp and the eye brows (god that was a killer) done the smelly creams and shampoo's everything works for a while but as soon as i stop treatment it all leaves me again so i think its time to just accept i am bald and beautiful and stick a wig on and go about my daily business lol (UPDATE 09/09/08)But now trying new treatment PUVA so lets give that ago (sorry to say this but i am not ready to give up yet!!!!)

i keep plodding along accepting my patchy-bald look and folks around me
are evolving towards accepting me too (or they don't come up and visit with me, haha.)
have a nice week...cheerz!

hair growth...am I close? Like I said, you are brave...I won't put myself through that for some chance of hair sprouting...and guess I don't want to make myself a guinea pig for a derm. I don't even want to think of the $$$! Take care however and let me know how it goes.

- It was Liverpool and Chelsea on Sunday with anohter example of a poor decision by a poor referee.
United beat Everton on Saturday.

- I understand wanting a little "tuff" on your head.
I still have "bunch clumps" of hair but lots of scattered little bald spots and some big ones...I trim my hair short as I may as well show off the bald spots to my admiring public lol...really tho'...keeping it shorter and letting the scalp show through eases my journey to the buzz/shave.
Thanx for be-friending! Have a nice day!
