What do you do with the other eyebrow when only one falls out?
Yeah, I lost most of my left eyebrow, and only some of my right. I ended up getting rid of most of my right eyebrow and using pencil to fill them both in.

- About Me:
- I'm in grad school and I'm an editor. I have some bizarre, unknown form of alopecia since age 12 (actually since 9 or 10, but it wasn't that noticeable until I was 12). I've worn hairpieces since 2000. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune disorder) and who-knows-what else. When I don't shave my head, I look like one of my parents mated with a zebra. I'm on a quest to find a cause for my hair loss, even though it may be a futile effort. So far I've stumped 16 doctors.
I love a wide variety of music (punk rock, soul, electronic, old-school hip-hop) and I enjoy puzzles. I read a lot and I am very geeky. I am obsessed with biological anthropology, and I'm currently studying software design, game theory, and technical writing and editing. I enjoy writing, video games (Wii! RPGs!), and my pets (two rats and a kitty).

It's about time...
Twenty years and sixteen doctors after my first signs of hair loss, and I have finally received the tentative diagnosis of diffuse alopecia areata. Tentative, yes, but that's the most promising news I've heard in my life. I have absolutely no expectation for my hair to grow back, but all this time I've been searching for a name for this. Just a name, so that when people ask or make comments, I have the power to reply with an educated response. "I don't know" is never enough to satisfy any… Continue

Miss Gerbil ahh yes her name was Aurora - she ate a walnut and then passed away - seriously-so she went in a good way - she was fine until just that day -
hmmmm
they live about 2 years - so these are marching against time right now :( but I try to make their lives coolw ith boxes and wheels - toilet parper tubes - the occasional raw almonds or walnuts cheerios they have a good old world
we were thinking of breeding then dividing out males and females again
see gerbils are veru terrritorial they have clans - so if I add another female olympia ( the other female) will kill it - but she will tolerate a male and mate then i can leave her daughters with her and leave the sons with the father and leave my remaining 3adult males together
not sure I would need two more tanks becuase the tank that olympia is in now can only accomodate about 2 gerbils - i have space in my bedroom for one more tank if I get rid of that one
I have space in my living room but I dont; want to do that....
omg I sound like an animal hoarder LOL
I remember those days - INASANE - loved it though - I'm almost done with grotesque its getting deeper by the page - good book - and I have a few paragraphs to finish my first full short story Hooray !!! -
I am such a geek i want to send it in to Dark Wisdom magazine- you know it?
:)
Drop me a line anytime - going to walk the mutt
I have all Arrested Developments too and all Simpsons except the first 2 seasons.
I only have two spots and I am ok with that I am scared about more loss -
Its terrible to feel scared people will make fun of you very terrible
i noticed latelty Im supersensitive when people stare at me and lets face it I have a huge tattoo on my left arm
I was used to it - it never bothered me but right now I'm overweight and this is happening and I feel vulnerable
and it makes me angry that I feel that way I feel like some people are so disgusting sometimes with how they sort of smell vulnerability and go for the jugular
my boyfriend tries to be supportive and I accuse him of lying
its in my head this thing this way I measure myself I guess...
but not only my head a lot of women's heads
it makes me sad and angry that we are valued for appearence at times
it also bothers me how narrow the concept of what is beautiful is -
