About Me:: When I was 6, I got a mild case of AA; just a tiny bald spot. Two years later, after another traumatic event took place in my life, it developed into AU. About nine years later, it changed to AT, where it has been for 26 years. I tried the steroid shots and had a biopsy. I have cicatricial alopecia..poor prognosis. Strangely enough, I've had some scalp growth. First it was peach fuzz, then I had long white wirey hairs on both sides of my head, then dark hair grew..I have to trim it to wear a wig. I have body hair, (minus the legs-but who cares about that anyway); I have most facial hair, (including some very charming hairs that insist on growing out of what I'll call a beauty mark, ok, ok, so it's a mole), and I don't have nose hair. I've always worn a synthetic wig. My parents were totally ashamed of me so I dealt with a lot of negativity at home and at school. I was never taken to a specialist or even a dermatologist. My first visit to a derm was sometime in my thirties. I've had a lot of unhealthy relationships but 8 years of therapy have helped me in many ways; including my self esteem-thereby my choices in the relationship dept. were improved. I married a wonderful man in 2006. We do a lot of exciting activities together. I'm really having the time of my life. He is absolutely my soul mate. And I met him online!!! Looking forward to many supportive exchanges on this great site.

I'm a pretty lucky Mum to have such a lovely daughter too. Thanks for your compliments. :)

I see you are friends with the lovely dotty - isn't she wonderful. I guess the reason I'm here is to learn as much as I can about people's experiences. You know reading people's profiles is really helpful.

Catch you again soon.

It's close in time ( fall is so perfect for New England meet-ups!) ....so hopefully you can also come to Bald Girls Do Lunch Inc in Worcester on Sept 27th. It's always inspiring and motivating no matter how new or not so new the AA; with facilitated discussions and the benefits of meeting only with women with AA. We tweak thinking which simulates positive change for life enhancement.

Dotty told me she's working on the weekend, but if others can join, just send RSVP to info@baldgirlsdolunch.org

Hope you can come,
Thea

Looks like September 13th it is. We are throwing out ideas on places. I have had suggestions of The Cheesecake factory, Vinny T's (Italian), and Firefly (BBQ). I was thinking around 11 - 12ish for brunch or lunch. Let me know your thoughts. I'm really getting very excited. I can't wait to meet everyone.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

I'm just checking in to see if you're still interested in the get-together? I'm pretty sure it is going to be the weekend of September 13th & 14th. There's a tattoo convention that weekend that I would just love to see, so, I'm trying to coordinate the "Bald Ladies Do Boston" (as my friend Joyce has taken to calling it) and the tattoo convention into one weekend. We are even thinking about a Limo for the evening :-) Let me know what you think.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
