Re: Re: Does the hair you lose... To Deanna

[Guest guest]

Hi Deanna -

I was tested in January, and officially diagnosed in

February.

I know how you feel. What I keep noticing is that I

have hairs stuck to my clothes, or down the back of my

shirt, that tickle my skin and drive me about nuts.

This sort of thing used to happen to me occassionally,

but now it's all the time. I'll have one on the side

of my shirt, and it'll keep tickling my arm... I hate

it. It's just a creepy reminder. And forget about

wearing a light colored shirt, as the hairs show up so

much

I am going to have to pay more attention, as I am only

aware of new growth (the little short stuff that

pretty much stands straight up) coming in in gray. My

hair is far less than 5% gray, of course the grays are

all top and center. The hair that is not gray is

naturally pretty dark. I had been coloring the grays,

but I guess I won't be doing that again for a while,

and possibly never. I would just like to see some

shorter dark hairs growing in. I would hate to think

that all the hair I'm losing is just going to come

back in gray. Yuk!! Although I guess I'd be lucky to

have it in gray as opposed to not having it come back

at all, wouldn't I??
