Thanks for the welcome Jennifer. I didn't realize how many alopecians there are in BC. This is really a great site. A little about myself: i have two kids a boy 8 and a girl 6. Because my mom has alopecia I worry about my kids getting it to. But so far so good. Infact my daughter has a ton of long blond hair. I hope it stays. One day she asked me when her hair will come off. It was very sweet - she just thought that was normal. I have been married for 18 years in Oct. My husband is so supportive and loves that I don;t spend a ton of time in the bathroom getting ready (me too!). Hope to chat more in the future with you. Have a great day!! Nikki

Welcome to International Alopecia Day!!!!

Welcome to the International Alopecia Day Group!

Hi
I just returned to Vancouver after living in Australia and want to know if you belong to an Alopecia support group in the Lower Mainland. If so which one and if not are you interested in joining one?

Chris

Hi Jen,

Sorry we missed you too.
Make sure and keep me updated with your plans for a visit to San Francisco. Any dates planned yet?
Where are you in Vancouver? We stayed Downtown at The Sutton Place. Way Fabulous!!!

Hey Jen,
It,s been about a year for me to too, since the hair started falling out and now it is all gone. I am going to get some eyebrows made or perhaps tattoo some on in the next week or so. What a weird year!
i think its good to get extra support, Alopecia world is great but I would like to meet someone face to face and chat about it. If you ever want to talk, I'm here (sometimes I don't check in for a while). Please do let me know about the meeting, I think it would be really interesting to go.

Jennifer,

Where do you live. I am in Cloverdale and I was wondering about a support group near here. Maybe you can let me know if you are going...

Hi Jen,

Jazz Shmazz I can sing you The Blues.

Jeff

Hey Jenn,
The conf is june 25-28. I went last year and it was so good. It really had an impact on me. I cant wait to see everyone again.

Jeff

Hi Jennifer,
I think the conf starts 6/25/09-6/29/09
Click the events tab or go to naff,org.
I highly reccommend attending.

Jeff

Hey Jennifer,

So only a year into this whole thing eh? Almost a year and a half for me.
I'm glad you are ajusting well.
Do you think you will go to the Naaf Conf in Houston this year? Going to Louisville last year really helped me out alot. I got to meet so many nice people. D'oh thinking you might have been one of them

Hope you are having a great day,

Jeff

Hi Jennifer,

Glad you are doing well.
We met in Louisville right?

Jeff

Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer. This week is a special week for me in terms of my hair loss. It was a year ago Jan. 30 that I shaved my head. I keep remembering what I was going through at this time last year, and thinking about how far I've come. I basically don't give a rat's ass (to put it mildly) who sees me bald. I still feel self-conscious at times, and I'm aware I look different. But, I just don't care. Life is beautiful and too short to worry about hair. I hope you're doing well and having a great week. I wish we could all get together somehow! Mary

Hi Jennifer,

Stopped in to say hello.
How's everything going?

Jeff

Hi Christie,
Welcome to the club :)

p.s. I went to start a group for people that don't mind going out bald, and found that there's already one that seems to cover us. I just joined it. It's entitled something to do with women who have shaved, and I haven't read through all the comments yet.

Thanks! I'm going to start a new group ( I just wish more women liked me lived in my town!)
