Baldiness

Off the Top of My Head - An Introduction

by Laura on August 22nd, 2007

My name is Laura Bzowy, and I am the “new” writer of Baldiness. Since this is my first post, I thought I should tell you a little bit about myself. I have blogged for the Science and Health Channel of b5media for a little over a year now. My other b5 blog is called CFS Squared -Tales of CFS, and is about my journey with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - and how I try to live positively with a chronic illness.

CFS is my connection to hair loss. While I have a somewhat full head of hair these days, this has not always been the case. As recently as last year, I had to cut off a whack of my hair, because not only was it falling out by the root, but was breaking off mid strand. The back of my head was a mess! Neither my doctor nor my stylist could help me figure out why. This is how I was introduced to Baldiness, and the Bald Man himself helped me realize that chronic fevers could cause hair loss (I was suffering from mono at that time - and fever was a very present symptom).

Anyway, with my stalking of this blog and a little interference from Hsien - Cory ended up doing an interview with me, which you can read here. It’s been almost exactly a year since I was introduced to this blog, and now I am going to write it. Isn’t it funny how life turns out.

I have lots to learn about living confidently without hair - and the issues that come with it. But you should know that I am really excited to be here- and I think we are going to get along great!
So now, that you know a bit about me….maybe you can leave a comment and tell me a bit about you. I can’t wait to get to know you guys.
