Well... just reached the 180 days rule + updates

• Well... just reached the 180 days rule + updates by pdbrin on 13 Jun, 2010 19:16
• Hi Guys, not sure if I'm posting in the right part of the forum but... here it goes:
  
  I first shaved my head around December 2009 and kept it shaved since that date.  Was pretty easy since I was diagnosed with Alopecia about 1 month after... and I'm not talking simple alopecia; I'm talking alopecia universalis
  
  "Alopecia universalis or alopecia areata universalis is a medical condition involving rapid loss of all hair, including eyebrows  and eyelashes. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata, with an incidence of .001% (1 in 100,000)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_universalis
  
  Besides the eyelashed and eyebrows, alopecia universalis is a blessing for the "shading factor" 0% shade! I didn't shave for at least 3 months ;-)  Now for the update: my air is starting to grow back! I now have to shave every day... my shading is not perfect anymore but I still manage to be near perfect.  Eyebrows and lashed are now fully regrown... I feel more confident with those.
  
  So, for people with alopecia... there is hope.. there is definitively hope

• Well I'm really glad my eyelashes/eyebrows are growing back... but not having to shave my head to be bald with no shade was pretty cool... now I have to shave everyday like everybody else
  
  I will remain bald because I really like how I feel/look bald...
