Thanks Sarah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed too but not harping on it. :) Figure it'll stay if it wants to.
And congrats on getting a new job already! That's really great! Hope things are going well with your new job!
Did you buy a new wig yet? I can never have enough too :) They are so much fun especially when you find the right ones.
Yeah since my mom is a hairdresser i'm going to drag her around with me till i find the right one lol and anything is possible with hair growth i know mine cant because my follicles are being damaged but hopefully one day science will find a way to reverse or clone hair.:o) anyway you look beautiful no matter what and its great to have the support here on AW. i'll talk to you soon sweetie bye
Yer thats the only way with this damn thing..im over the worst now and have been lucky got to say...however Hell and back! was a trip and a half,,lol...guess ill always wonder if it will return thou...
Love your new pics you are so pretty and things are ok on my end, i am done with my finals and now just looking for hair solutions. other then that i have 3 months off and i'm going to enjoy it :o) didnt know wig shopping could be so confusing lol anyway have a great weekend and stay sweet :o)
Hey Sarah, no worries :) It's good to hear from you! For me, I've been on oral steroids and am having some small fine growth of hair and my eyebrows are growing back in. BUT! as you know with Alopecia, there is no cure so I've accepted that when I've stopped my treatment, it might fall out again and that's fine with me :) Just taking it a step at a time and still enjoying all my wigs :) Its so good that you're handling it much better than you thought! I mean, being mentally prepared always helps and I'm sure being positive helps too. Hugs!
hello thats great to hear ur well, my eyelashes didnt fall out till maybe august last yr and my eyelashes sort of grew in quickly as wen they fell out there were little tiny one's comin in, i have most bak altho dont seem as full as before yet my eyebrows took a little longer but they;ve bn comin in for couple of months now so it wasnt long, so believe there is always hope, yeah im so excited as there is some little dark hairs dotted about which im hopin is a gd sign, :) speak sn x
Hi sweetie how is everything? i am doing ok just going day by day its real pretty in florida. anyway hope all is well on your end and i love your hair in your pic :o) talk to you soon.
Thank you for your feedback, Sarah. I am so glad that something that I have said resonates with you. My hair is coming back and I really want to share everything I have learned because I know how devasting alopecia is - especially to children and women. So if you have any questions or want some suggestions for turning your condition around, I would be more than happy to discuss it with you.
I haven't started wearing the long hair wigs out with my friends. Besides my good friends, I haven't told anyone about my condition either. I just don't feel like delving into a conversation about my hair but today, I'm feeling like I'm just not going to care and wear whatever I feel like. And if someone asks, I'm going to simply tell them that I have an autoimmune disease that causes me to lose hair...or something along those lines :) And give them a BIG smile hehe. I am feeling more and more brave these days. I've accepted that I need to wear wigs and draw in my brows daily but lashes...oh gee, i guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.
thanks :) i think i'm a little nuts - so many wigs now but I guess at least I'm having fun with it.
hahah I have exactly the same fears about practicing!!! What if i pull off my old ones accidentally?? LOL. Alopecia sucks indeed haha but hey at least gives us a reason to glamour it up all the time hehehe
I'm not sure if you can buy it off the shelf in Ireland since it's a Japanese product. And unfortunately I've just realized the color selection is not great for it but have just found out that they do sell something that is just a sealant for eyebrows. I'm going to see if I can buy that too if I find it, just to try it out.
My lashes so far are still ok.. but I'm thinking I should start practising with falsies just in case...haha :)
I'm ok its friday and raining like crazy i might need a boat to get to the mailbox lol well having one of my good days so dancing around the house and studying a little bit. i enjoy my good days cause usually i'm using up a box of tissues and having ben and jerry lol well talk to you soon.
Hi dear how is everything? i read your blog and i hope you find a solution thats comfortable for you. nomatter what you will still look great. just wanted to drop bye and say hello and also ask how there weather is ? its finally warming up over here which i am glad about. ok bye dear
thanks, yeah i am altho still get down thinkin it might never last and they'll fall out again, i try not to think like that but cant help it, i wore fake lashes once and the were a pain n the butt, lol, but i couldnt get them on rite either very fiddely altho people tell me they get used to it, wen i first used contact lenses they were a nitemare but easy now, so maybe the same,
it was really hard and upsettin losin my eyelashes and everyone tryin to be nice and say they didnt notice, but i hated it, but usin eyeliner was great, and im lucky mine have come bak, hopefully for gd tho, xx
