Did it! Off topic
Hello all! Just got back from my hairdresser - 13 inches gone to Locks of Love!
I feel naked without my hair, but KNOW that it is going to a GREAt place and now won't have to "fuss" with it as much! What an awesome day!:D Erin:hug: |
How thoughtful of you! I finally had my hair cut to a shorter style last summer when I realized that the only "do" I could handle was a ponytail, not so cool on a 42 year old. I took in a picture of Jenny McCarthy and told my hairdresser I wanted to look like her. Well, she can't work miracles, but my hair is short in back and longer in front and I feel sexier than ever. Still a challenge to blowdry and straighten, but only worry about it when I leave the house! Sometimes not even then.
I wanted to ask you about mg crisis. What exactly do you feel like when you can't breathe? Do you gasp for breath? What do they have to do to stop the crisis or can it stop on it's own? Thanks for any info. |
Erin,
Wow! That is a wonderful gift....When I have to cut mine short..I will seriously consider this. I love my hair...It is all one length and is below my shoulders. It took me forever to grow out my bangs...it was pure torture at times.....but I am so glad that I did....never get those bangs to look right...I kept wanting to "poof" them...and I always ended up looking like a poster child for the "90's hair look:Bang-Head: I have been just french braiding it here lately...but now....that is getting rough...holding my arms up and braiding all that hair...

YAY, Erin! You'll love shorter hair for the summer. I'm proud of you, and glad this has been a great day for you! Now that I'm getting where I can sit without back and head support for longer than a few minutes I have GOT to go give my donation soon!
|
Good on you Erin
|
Good for you Erin ! I want mine done, I just can't do it yet. After my treatment boost, I'll give it a go !

Way to go Erin!!!! I donated my hair in January 08 so I know what a great feeling it is to know your hair will make a wig for someone who needs it.
|
Well done you! You'll have to post some pictures of your new "do" now! Bet you look fab!
|
YAY! :yahoo:
Now we want pictures!! Erin, did they tell you how many inches you have to have to donate? This picture taken Mother's Day kinda shows the length of my hair. Honestly..the color isn't that orange. lol. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...d190226a68.jpg |

You asked 'bout the breathing problems....mine have improved with the Mestinon, but at one point I was waking at night just gasping & "grabbing" for air...that has ceased for now...when I do anything exerting, walking, lifting, changing water in my aquariums, or just toward days end, I get very weak & then the dypsnea starts...feels like I'm panting to get air, & I'll sit & gasp a lot!! does get better with rest.... JME....

Annmarie , When I am in crisis & I can't breath, I am totally limp & am not stong enough to pull air in period. Through out the day, doing my daily stuff, when I weaken, I get the out of breath, gasping , you mentioned, I don't believe with MG we are able to breath deep enough with our weakened lung muscles, so we tend to shallow breath to get the air we need, when we do things.

Hey Annemarie!
Hey there! Yes, I was literally GASPING for air - couldn't get any and started to black out - decided it was time to call my dr.........
Never want to go through that again! :hug:Erin:hug: Quote:

Hi Erin,
You have inspired me, as its comming on winter here I will let my hair grow for winter and spring, and get it cut off about December. all I have to do now is find where to donate it here in Australia. |
Hi Erin,
You're an inspiration! Here's a hug for you for all the children out there! I've just chopped off my hair recently due to huge amounts of hair loss, will wait for them to grow again (sure hope it grows quickly) and then find a place to donate it! Quote:

Hi Connie!
I bet it will grow back really quick! It has been quite a shock getting used to my new do, but it will grow back! LOL!
People tell me that it looks really cute, but I have a really hard time with any kind of change so I don't love it - yet! On the positive side, it is much easier to do now! Big hugs! Erin:D Quote:

Hey Redtail!
I bet with your curly beautiful hair you will make someone an AMAZING wig!:D
Just to let you know, though, they will braid your hair and need @ least -8-10 inches to make a wig - almost flippied out when I saw how much they needed! It does help out with the Texas heat! In a BIG way!:D I still freak whenever I go to wash it - used to soooo much more! LOL! Take care! Erin:D Quote:

HEy Annemarie!
Girl, you are so pretty that ANY hairstyle would look GREAT on you!
I don't feel sexy - not yet! Still have those pesky 40 lbs to lose........but as long as I feel well enough to do some things for myself I am grateful!:D When I had my crisis it stopped on it's own - thank GOD for that one! I was blacking out before I was able to catch my breath.....whew! Usually when someone gets that weak they need to be intubated - something that scares the heck out of me, but I'll take that over the other any day! LOL! Hope you are having a great day! Erin:D Quote:

Go to my profile Erin, it has a new picture of my and my granddaughter. Yep..curly hair.
I have a good 8 inches I can cut off. :D |
HI Steph!
You are sooooooo flippin funny! I remember that 90's "do" - cuz' I had one! LOL!
I remember when just blow drying my hair was too much for me......so I went days without washing my hair - not attractive but oh well! How are you doing today? Are you feeling ok? Big hugs! Erin:D Quote:
|
Hi Curious!
The shortest amnt thay can use is 8 inches.......beware though b/c they braid it and that takes a lot off!
It is sooooo much cooler here now that my hair is gone! Big hugs! Erin:D Quote:
|
Well, I cut mine off today ! I will get a picture posted soon !
Mary |

That part has been great - I must admit! I'll post some pics as well! Erin:D Quote:
