About Me:: Hey, I am Lisa. I have Alopecia Areata. I have stopped my treatments of injections and Olux. I am just going to see what happens. I have had AA for 6 years. I still have a little hair left, not much. I have been married to a wonderful man for almost 12 years and I have 2 amazing kids. Always looking to meet other people with Alopecia. Sometimes it doesn't feel like there are that many of us out there.

Did you find a full time post yet? How's your hair? Still enough not to wear a wig? Wow I ask lots of questions! Reason I'm asking is I am going to go back to school later this year to become a teacher and I was wondering the same thing as you were myself. At my current job, I don't wear a wig. I have shaved my head and I just wear bandanas/head scarves. I really wonder if they would be as relaxed about that in a teaching environment. I just feel so much more comfortable without the wig! I really don't want to wear it wherever I end up working.

I have maybe a handful of my real hair left; however in December I too have decided to stop the shots and creams too to see what happens next.
Finding support groups such as this one has helped alot!

I remember when i got to like my half way point with hairloss and just decided to shave it off. It was a big relief and now I just wear wigs almost every day. Not at home but out I do.

At 3:18am on March 20th, 2008, Katie said…: Hi Lisa :) Thanks for the note. To tell you the truth, I felt relief when I shaved off what hair I had left. Yes, it's sad...but it helps to move forward a couple of steps on your own. And you're the one in control for once. You're making the decision to move forward and shave it off. Then once that's done, you move forward to the next step. One step at a time. I understand the sadness, the scariness, the fear of the unknown and every other feeling that comes up. Your son will be okay, as long as you communicate the process with him. With regards to wigs, I never really had headaches wearing them. Just make sure you go to a good wig store and have it fitted properly. It will take a couple of weeks of wearing it to get used to it. Hope this helps! Cheers, Katie

time to send messages to all your friends, telling them how much you care about them.

Without friends
you would be missing out on a lot.

A friend should be radical;

They should love you when you're unlovable,

Hug you when you're unhuggable,

And bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical;

They should cheer when the whole world boos,

Dance when you get good news,

And cry when you cry.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,

They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,

Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,

Calculate the need deep within your heart,

And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

I care about you.
Have a nice day, and
I'm glad we are friends!!! Delete Comment

Thanx for the comment. I have been AU for 7 years and I'm glad I can be an inspiration to people. I want the world to take notice that Alopecians are just the same as them (well, BETTER!!) and we should all stand tall and be proud, whether we choose to wear a wig, bandana, hat, or au natural. Hope to chat soon.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
