Hey all,

It has been a while since my last blog post, so I thought it was time to share my story with you again. If you don't care, just read it!

Well, in my last blog I mentioned my bald spots which appeared again. Since then it has gotten worse, the spots have expanded and I look like a dalmatian again.
I have no idea why it has gotten worse that fast, but I guess nobody does.
I don't wear a wig anymore because I just feel that I would be hiding who I am that way, and I want people to see who I am and not pretend.
The thing is that some people find it necessary to make comments about it, say stuff like: ah nice hairdo, is it like 2009? Or; ah they really got to you eh, those students? But then I tell them I have alopecia and they fall completely still and say sorry. I don't really care, but sometimes I'm really fed up with it. And I always see people looking at me and talking about me, sometimes really obvious and sometimes less obvious. Then I look at them with a look that says 'got something to say to me?' and then they look away, and some even keep looking.
I really don't want to keep telling people the same thing every day, or talk about it every day. I don't want to be different in that way, I am just a guy whose hair is just different than most people.

The positive thing about it is that my hair is growing back most places. I hope it keeps growing and I'll have a full head of hair again. I want to be able to make my hair the way I want, that I even have the choice to make my hair look the way it is. But unfortunately peanut butter, it's not that far yet.
And I have to have peace with the fact that my hair will keep falling out again and again and again.

And I will keep on fighting. I will never give up.

Thank you.

I like this last statement, it shows your incredibly strength and determination not to let alopecia control your life. Keep it up
