Hey girl, It was so nice to meet you as well along with your family. I've been wanting to send you a message. Two sick girls, that is rough. I hope they are better now. They are both so adorable. I had fun meeting them. That is so sweet of you... thank you! :) Kim sent me a message. She didn't recognize me since when we met I was wearing a scarf on my head. Lol. We should meet for lunch or dinner one day. Or if you ever want me to show you an area of town, I'd be happy to do that! Have a good week

Welcome Kristy, brave girl, beautiful girl. Your picture #13 is me to a T.
I would not be as brave as you are. You also look very pretty in your long hair wigs....what kind are they, and where did you get them? Cost? Although I had a slew of tests at the dermatologist, no one ever told me exactly what was going on. Well, I guess, when I went I was just shedding like crazy, and hadn't lost the nape of my neck hair yet. Just diffuse. Hope you have a great weekend. Oh, I see Alliegator lives in your part of the world. Meet up with her, check out her page on wigs...it is soooo cool. She is very cool, and very nice.

Hi Kristy! I am familiar with the Kingwood/Humble/Spring area! I currently live in the city in the Memorial area. I used to live in Spring/The Woodlands. I used to spend a lot of time in the Humble area too because I had friends out there. That is our nice airport! People also call it Intercontinental airport. We also have the Hobby airport in South Houston, but I like the other one better. Wow, you had 3 groups! That must have been nice. I think they are trying to get one started here. It is nice to talk to others who have experienced it. It is nice to meet you too!

Hi! Do you know where in Texas you will be moving? It is a great state. I think you will love it! I don't know of any support groups, but I have tried to contact the NAAF representative to get it started. You should join the Texans with Alopecia group on this site if you haven't already!

Hey, Kristy, thank you!!! I haven't been on AW for awhile, been trying to start school, joined the Board of the Theater department for my daughter at High School, she started Volleyball club (3 cities away, what was I thinking? it was the only one I could afford) and now closing down a business and desperately seeking new employment!

I have been getting my head steriod shots, and taking them orally and putting the steroid creams and foams on my scalp... I have fuzzy regrowth in places, but overall it still slowly dwindles away. My hair looks about 2 or 3 phases past your picture from the back of your head where you're holding up your hair and it's all gone down below and the baldness is creeping upward.. mine is EXACTLY the same, and now spots on the top and crown of my head are appearing, my temples have been gone for awhile, and working it's way upward and around my crown. Is that what yours did too?

How long did it take you before you were completely done with all this patchy-hopeful-not-hopeful-treatment-grows back- still falls out- stuff??

My head is tender, the skin on it hurts all the time,like .. bruises or a sunburn. The injections suck and the meds burn and itch. my scalp skin is now bumpy and wavy from the steroids causing atrophy in my fat tissue, so the bald areas look like ocean waves in the skin.

You look SOOO beautiful and SOO happy. What did you do, Kristy??

Hi Kristy, thank you for your insight. I appreciate it! Do you know much about false eyelashes?

Hi Kristy, your post made me cry- thank you for your sweet words of encouragement!! Ya, i AM really scared and maybe disappointed is even more accurate or strong... I dont know if I want to go through the treatments, I cant find even ONE SINGLE person here that's had success and it's all so painful and the side effects (THEY scare me!).. right now it's so early on in my journey with alopecia that Im struggling to decide whether to hang onto hope with both hands and dive into research and treatments like mad - or skip it and try for acceptance... I still have about 3/4 of my hair, but it's falling out in droves. Just scared and confused and only taking thinking about it for an hour a day before I fall apart...

Good for you, Kristy! The moment I shaved my head, I stopped obsessing and began to go down a much healthier path toward self-acceptance.

Hi Kristy,

The place where I got my full lace wig is called "Kathleen's Creative Expressions." Kathy Devyak owns it and she is wonderful! I felt so comfortable with her and she is such a good listener. The address is: 665 Ridgeview Drive McHenry, IL 60050 and her phone number is 815-759-0329. Her email address is kmdevyak@sbcglobal.net and the website is www.kcexpressions.net. Her wigs are very high quality (mine is real human hair). Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help :) Have a great week!

Hi Kristy! Thanks for the friend add :) I also had the ophiasis pattern. There is a great wig store in McHenry, IL that I got my lace wig from - let me know if you would like me to pass the contact info along to you :) And feel free to ask me any questions about shaving your head; I know how difficult of a decision it can be. Keep on smiling!!

Hi Kristy. I am not sure if we have met yet. I dropped in on the last few events but have not been able to stay. It is a great group we have with such great resource! I am fairly new myself. Just approaching my one year anniversary of losing all my hair as I have AU. It took about 6 months for it all to go and it has been hard. You look great in your pictures. Hopefully I will see you soon at a group meeting. Let me know if I can help with anything.
