RE: [Alopecia Areata Support Group] Re: shall I do it?
Thanks for the encouragement; I’ll
let you know if I go through with it. I know it will be a real growth process
for me if I have the guts. Anyway it’s not for a few weeks yet so I’ll
let you all know later. By the way my eyelashes are now at the point where I
can put on mascara! They are short, colourless and sparse, but with mascara it
gives the impression (especially from the side view) that I have lashes. Way to
go!!!

What do you all think?
Tamara, I've lost all body hair so I've had eyeliner tatooed around my eyes and I draw in my brows. My wig has a fringe (bangs) so I don't have to draw them...
Kim, I just wish so much I could use those those false eyelashes!!!!! I have the kind of eyes that have the upper lids droop over them so although I have my...
Hi Pat~ I guess it's a trial and error thing with the false eyelashes. I was determined to wear them so I wouldn't look so naked. I use the strip lashes,...
Thanks, everyone for the suggestions! I'll have to keep you posted on finding a decent wig (I really have gone through the phone book here!!!)I draw my...
It hurt me a bit when the woman was doing them and they were a little sore for maybe a day but not too bad at all. :) On Mon, 16 Dec 2002 02:36:12 -0000, "...
Hi Tamara~ Yes, the tattooing does hurt a little, nothing unbearable though. They do use a numbing cream to help deaden the area they will be tattooing,...
Tamara, the tatooing does sting but for me it was worth it. I'm getting my nose pierced tomorrow and I'm betting that will hurt too! I also have some small...
Tamara, I share your frustration with the eyebrows and eyelashes. I've been drawing in my eyebrows for over 8 years. About 2 years ago, I was making an...

Hi all, I have a speech coming up in my Toastmasters club and the objective is to pick a topic to inform. So shall I do it on alopecia and 'out' myself? Only...
I think it would be a great idea to get the word out about AA. People just dont know what it is and when they see someone with it, they act oddly. Those that...
Yes, maybe it's the case that we're so sensitive to our hairloss that we attribute the same feelings to others, when really it's not a big deal to them. _____ ...
I think you are right about that Pat. It seems like i'm always uptight about my hairloss even though i'm making a conscious effort to not let it phase me. It...
It will take a lot of guts for me to get up in front of 30 people and expose myself as an alopecian, but I've decided I have to do it for my own self esteem....
Just imagine how much of a courage boost that would be for you and others who deal with AA or AU. Thats what this thing is all about. We've lost a huge part of...
I'll certainly let you all know how I went after I give my speech. Just having the support of everyone here is a big boost to me. Thanks everyone! _____ From:...
