Unfortunately it seems like some of my friends changed/deleted their homepages, so if you can't find it, I apologize.   I don't know what it has been changed to.

Keri and her familyThis is Keri, who gets lots of help from Potassium

I have had this problem for so long. Willpower is truly the answer to this problem, but the Potassium really takes off the edge for me. When I'm on it I really have no to desire to pull my hair at all. Still pull-free since Jan 8  1998.

A letter I received from Keri (Carrie) on 2/7/98

Hi Amanda,
I read your page on Potassium and your message was music to my ears. I haven't pulled out any hair since Jan 8. 98 when I read on the BB about Potassium. Several months back I pulled on the very tips of my hair with split ends on them but only a couple.
My really bad spots behind my ears are about 4-5" long right now. That hair is curly and the rest of my hair is stick straight but I don't care because I now
have hair there. Plus I no longer have any urges at all to pull my hair. The urges do come back if I don't take the Potassium at least once a week. I usually take two 99mg pills in the morning when I feel I need them. Sometimes this is every day sometimes once a week, it all depends on how I feel.

When I first signed on to the BB in Jan. I was to embarrassed to use my real name, (Carrie) so I called myself Keri. (Still the same but not) if that makes
any sense. But now I want to come clean and use my real name if you get a chance can you change it in your web site.

I haven't been to the BB lately. I felt like I might have been harping on my Potassium usage too much, but for me it was truly an answer to prayer.

In Crissy's own words:

Anyway, I have decided, that I will take one plunge. If you want, you can add my pic to your site. Of course I’m wearing a wig in the photo, but maybe it will ease some people’s fear of looking "wierd" in a wig. I don’t like wearing it, but as far as appearances go I have come to accept that most people can’t tell.

 

Here is a very brave Chrissie
This is Kim (Kimmers).  She wears a wig, and was willing to share her picture so that people could see that it is possible to wear a wig, and still be beautiful.  Check out her website!. ##    Beautiful Kim, with her wig
