Just some Words (poem)

JUST SOME WORDS

Don't wanna be the victim,

Don't wanna play the part,

My false sense of self is tearing me apart.

I'm done telling myself lies

I'm done hearing myself cry,

The way i lived my past wont be the way that I die.

I didn't waste those years for nothing,

I didn't give'em away for free,

the things I've hated about myself,

they aren't really me.

I guess I did it to see how bad it hurt,

I guess I lit it to see how bad it…

Is it a fetish or mere fascination? It may pay to find out

I met the bald woman of my dreams on MySpace.com in the spring of 2007, and I can't tell you how grateful I am that she didn't summarily dismiss me as some creepy dude who simply had a bald fetish.

When I saw her photos on MySpace at the time, I thought she was as fine as they come and I let her know it. Yes, I knew she was bald due to alopecia areata because that was one of the first things her profile stated and she was bald in all her photos. However, it didn't matter one bit: She…

Dreams We Sew

Some day,

We'll stop looking for the answers,

And maybe,

Wear our hearts out on our sleeves,

But it's hard to make them see, and—

Just look at who are we,

Don't judge us as you please, we aren't weak,

Oh no.

 

And the dreams we sew,

We'll start to move mountains—

The world will be in the know,

And the more we grow—

The more they will see us, and greet us

We'll…

Most dermatologists...suck

I have honestly come to the conclusion that most dermatologists.... suck. No, seriously they are horrible and don't know what to prescribe they just give any type of drugs and hope it will work. Not cool! Today, I actually had to tell me new dermatologist that no, you cannot give me cortisone shampoo while on squaric acid because it defeats to whole purpose of the acid. So, I have come to the conclusion that in college I will study pharmaceutical science and either become a dermatologist…

Black women's hair loss tied to braiding, weaving

NEW YORK — Very tight braiding or weaving is linked to a permanent type of hair loss that affects many African American women, new research suggests.



While the findings can't prove hair grooming is at the root of the problem, women might still want to take them into consideration, said Dr. Angela Kyei, who worked on the study.



"I won't tell you not to braid your hair, but I don't want you to braid it so tightly that you need to take pain medication," said Kyei, of the… Continue

The economy and your alopecia

There are indications that the nearly universal economic downturn is going to last much longer and probably get even worse than most economists and other experts will officially proclaim.

Have these abysmal economic conditions altered the way in which you cope with your alopecia?

In other words, do you now find yourself spending less on wigs, make-up, counseling, or perhaps even travel to distant support group meetings?

Or, do you now find yourself trying harder…

Adrenals firing WAY too much

After my hair started falling out again last fall I went back to my doctor and said if it was my stress level causing this please give me something this time...last time rest and vitamin therapy. He gave me Klonipin which has helped my adrenals from firing abnormally for small things that should not make them fire. It has been a great thing for me and I just thought I would share it with ya'll. I take 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night. i hope this helps someone else.

My pills are .5 mg… Continue

Bald Love

MOTH AND BUTTERFLY by Terese Weir



Ever look in an empty cocoon as a most glorious butterfly leaves it? I’ll bet there’s a mirror in it.

When a woman loses her hair, which for her has been a safe haven and the only part of her body she truly believes is spectacular, she desperately wants to trust that her husband loves her for who she is, not for the dead protein on the top of her head. But when rage replaces reason, no soft whisper or kiss at the back of her now hairless neck is… Continue

More interesting than your alopecia

When I think of my fiancée, Cheryl Carvery, I don’t think of alopecia areata.

I think of a friend that sticks closer than any sibling; a compassionate person whose heart and life are wide open to other alopecians and who volunteers at a veterans’ hospital; a fun and inquisitive person who loves to travel and workout; a phenomenal woman who showers me with such sweet affection that I call it “addictive love.”

In…
