Indigo's Story

[indigo]

Somedays, it's embarassing...In the UK, it gets pretty windy, and after spending so long brushing/styling/combing what you have left in a certain way so that no one will see - up comes the wind, and just blows your world apart.

I feel everybody is staring at me. I feel less of a woman, because of my alopecia and other hair losses.

I feel very sad, that I had a lot to do with my first hair loss - that is traction alopecia. And I was further saddened when I began to lose my hair through AA as well

It's not much of a story, nothing special in comparison to other stories I have read here...but I do feel very alone.

:roll: well...

the alopecia areata has gradually healed itself over time there is hair over it, and it doesn't appear to be visible anymore. Is pleased about that. But...the traction alopecia - I have to resign myself to knowing that that will never grow back. I wish that I had known the damage I was doing when I was pulling my hair back so tight.

What is everyone's view on implants? Any good?

I felt an itch in my head and well - I started to itch it, lol. ensativo:
It was to the front, it was itching a lot, but there was no bump, so I took a comb and parted through, to see what the problem was. I was horrified.
Because there is a circular patch, spreading outwards from where it was itching. Which is exactly what happened when I had the alopecia the first time...it's not looking good... :ninja: time to hide, methinks...

It was just an itch! Nothing else...the hair grew back in that spot - God, I'm getting so paranoid - but when something like alopecia happens to you previously, I guess it's understandable...

Hope you all had a happy new year...
