Is there still hope?

I am fairly new to this website, but i have decided to try to reach out and answer some questions. I have had AA for 4 or five years. Started out very minimal and after some steroid injections from my dermatologist, it grew back fairly quickly. I had a few spots come and go and received steroid injections every month for about 6 months. It was all good ( only about one small spot) until i started my second year…

How to step up to happiness

I recently came across this poem and it just spoke to me, so I thought I would share it with you.

Stepping up to Happiness

Everybody Knows ~

You cannot be all things to all people

You cannot do all things at once

You cannot do things equally well

You cannot do things better than everyone else

Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.

So ~

You must find who you are and be…

Hormonal cream and compliments

Hello,

Today I went to the docter and she told me that in my case my hair probably will never grow back.

But to give me the feeling that i tried everything she gave me hormonal cream.

Im just gonna try it and I really hope it will work for me.

Question for today is:

Has anybody had a good experience with hormonal cream?

I just wanted to say to everybody on this site, Youre beatiful,I like people who stand out from the crowd, people that are…

Another UPDATE on Devin; 2 months later

His little head is covered with hair with the exception of the orginal bald spot he had. That area is still covered with the fine white baby hair. Other than that, he's been doing great.

Keep your head and always have hope=)

Developing a new spot and awkward friends

This morning I was admiring my hair and how well I've managed to disguise the large bald spot on the back of my head by wearing my hair kinda wavy and messy.....when I spotted a new area on the crown of my head. It's about the size of a quarter right now and growing. :( I have been experiencing pain in the site for a while but couldn't figure out why. Now I know that it's related to losing hair. This really stinks! I will have to get really creative to cover this one.



Alopecia is… Continue

Music Therapy

Seems to me we need to come up with some uplifting songs as therapy. Some of you have found great ones for your profile pages, but there isn't one place to collect them all. I wonder if we can list some of the songs that saved us, gave us hope, reassured us, etc. and see if rj and Cheryl can come up with a way to click on them as we do with photos and videos. If not, we can always Google the You-Tube videos or recordings.



I'll start with six:

Knowing when to walk away

Hope is a very powerful ingredient in one's life however so is a realistic point of view. I can hope that today will be a sunny day, I can hope that I'll find the greatest man on earth and I could certainly hope that my hair would come back BUT (and that's a big but) reality must come into play at some point here. Hope will not change the forcast for the day or bring me that great man and hope has nothing to do with making my hair come back. Hope is like daydreaming or wishing. Now I'm not… Continue

Hopes for 2009

OK - I haven't been on AW for a while now, mainly for two reasons. The first is mainly due to the fact that I can't seem to come here without having some perv think my bald head is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Although it's great that someone thinks I'm drop dead gorgeous, they don't seem to get the idea that one day my hair may come back and they will no longer find me attractive. Besides, since when was love all about being physically attracted to someone, there's gotta be more than… Continue

Acceptance

I firmly believed I had reached a place of genuine acceptance. A place where it was no longer "Why me? Who is this foreign creature staring at me in the mirror?" but "I am beautiful and I am the same Val that I was with hair". Yesterday evening shattered this impression. I was at Bible Study at church, a place I had not gone in a while. I kept making excuses that really covered up how embarrassed I was and the fact that I did not love the new Val. Last night I decided it was long past time to… Continue

Was trying not to get too hopeful, but....

So I was sitting around watching tv last night and I ran my hand over my head (I love the way it feels shaved!) and realized the bald spots didn't feel so bald... I bolted up off the couch and ran to the mirror (haven't been looking in the mirror much lately) and lo and behold...not my whole head, but MOST of it is covered with a thin layer of white hair! Wooooo!!! Not like before with a white hair here and there...but actual white hair filling in spots! Now, it's hard to tell when it's white,… Continue

More encouraging registry information...

Hi guys, if you've read all these posts, you know that there has been some discussion about the purpose of the National Alopecia Areata Registry and how our information and blood samples will be used. I went back and read more carefully myself on the MD Anderson site.



My purpose in posting this particular blog is not to cause a reaction or upset anyone who may disagree with what I am writing. I just feel that there is signifcant reason to believe that the registry will be doing… Continue

Help find the cure

Have you registered on the Alopecia Registry? http://www.mdanderson.org/departments/alopecia/

It will help MD Anderson with research on the exact causes for Alopecia. It is also possible that you will be asked to go to level 2 and actually partcipate in a research study. I was surprised when I was asked to participate in the research. I am now in that process and would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers for it to go smoothly. I must fill out paperwork, visit a dermatologist and get… Continue

Something magic happens everyday!

I am so amazed by what is happening in my life right now...some passions and hopes that have been unfulfilled for many years are starting to come true one after the other. One of them happened today, and all thanks to AW. We had our first support group meeting here in the Phoenix area. I guess there was a meeting many years back that fizzled out. But I have been here 7 years and looked a few times in the past 7 years and there has not been one.



Five of us ladies came and we had a… Continue
