it's been a while...and another derm update!

I've been a little less active than I'd like lately on AW, but work has me crazy right now... they shipped me to Indiana for some GM testing a few weeks ago, then transferred me to a new store, so I had to move... I'm in my new place now, not quite unpacked, but wanted to drop a line to my AW friends while I can...

I went back to the derm today... on a good note, the biggest spot is significantly smaller now, and a few of my smaller spots are gone! I DO have some regrowth!! The white crazy hairs are freaking me out a bit, but it's still some regrowth. I don't want to get to excited about it, knowing it can fall right back out, but so far, I can't help it. She did see a few new spots in the back, but they are small, and my shots went down from 15 to 12, so I can only hope that's a good sign..

I have gotten a few new wigs, bringing my total to 10 now, including a few lace fronts! I'm still learning my way around with those, but so far I'm loving them... much more natural looking I think.

I hope life is treating you all well, and hope to be back in full swing soon! (as soon as I finish the unpacking from the move that is...lol)

Callie,
Don't sweat the white hairs - they may be a precursor to good growth. Almost all of my spots are regrown now - and a lot of them started out with lots of white hair that slowly filled in with more and more pigmented hair. The fact that you've got lots of follicular activity is nothing but good news. Sounds like you've got this under control and have lots of options so you'll look great and be great no matter what!
