So, this evening did not end on a high and not just because England got kicked out the Euro2012. I first noticed on Friday when I woke up that I began 'moulting' from the lower part of my body. This was not unexpected but it still took me by surprise as up until then, there has been no hair loss. I ended up just shaving it all off, everything that was falling out as I didn't want to start leaving a trail around the house and especially in the bathroom. After brushing my teeth this evening, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I was pleased that I still had so much hair left. For some reason I thought, let me try to pull a bit of my beard hair to see if it would come out. To my surprise I found a lot of my little beard hairs in between my fingers and it was a shock as to how easily and without any pain it came out. So I ended up pinching out more and more and in no time it was virtually all gone! I actually ended up plucking my beard hair out. After then I went into the bedroom and I looked at myself again, and I stood to think for a second. I was really curious to know but at the same time as was scared of what the results would be as I didn't want to further upset myself. I knew that I wouldnt be able to sleep tonight if i didn't try so I ended up pinching a bit of my hair and I pulled a little. I looked down and my fingers and there it was... My hair is officially coming out! It's been two weeks tomorrow since I had my first session and if I am honest I didn't even expect my hair to be on my head at this point so I've done really well. Secretly I think i was hoping to be an exception where my hair wouldn't fall out but that is definitely not the case here. The treatment is definately working though, so at least I know that for sure. I am just going to leave it at the moment and just let it fall out gradually and not pluck it like my beard. It is a sad moment when you are faced with it.
I had such a good weekend though. Friday I ended up going to work and caught up with everyone and got to see some of my work mates from Canada who kindly sent me some presents down. They are such nice people as Ive only known these guys just for 2 months and they are all so genuine and caring. Especially my buddy Randi who I got to Skype today finally. Then I also had my best Shevz visit who I took to Durdle Door and we went on a treasure hunt :). Oh and Nat from Cardiff also popped in who cheered me and brightened up my saturday morning with her funny stories. Today has also been the first day in a very long time where I didn't actually take ANY drugs at all. I have finished my course of drugs and currently only taking pain killers when necessary. It feels so amazing not having to take anything. I think I will sleep well this evening with no funny dreams. I will go and test that theory and will blog again later.

I plucked myself tonight
