The Repigmenting is amazing! Although my Vit has never really bothered me, or made me feel different, I learned to live with it. All this Repig stuff is just a plus, I never thought I would see it fill in with color, I always just thought I would keep losing my color.

We deserve to live a good life, why should skin color affect any of that? Yes I do see progress daily take a look at new repigmentation album I have to see results :)
At my dermatologist we are using laser therapy and I go into a regular UVB tanning bed at a tanning salon for ONLY 5 minuntes and they have a controlled one at the derm i use too sometimes. I do all light therapy about 2/3 times a week
i know what you mean re: spots around your eyes, people used to always ask me if i forgot to take my sunglasses off :/ i only started treatment in august but I have had vitiligo for about 17 years now, i am on a vitamin regimen, a variety of skin cfreams/ointmets and I jus started light therapy, it is repetitive and annoying all this upkeep, lol
indeed ;) what have you done so far with the vitiligo ? i'm still glad that the spots are very small, about 3cm2 for each spot on my hand (about 3 each per hand)
but the most anoying are the spots around my eyes, everyone always asks if i have been to wintersport (i wish !)
wow, some people can be so ignorant, shame on that doctor for thinking that. If you need any info on anything, my treatments... let me know, i will be happy to share
she thinks it's not that important because it won't hurt you, i'm already trying to get in contact with a vitiligo research centrer here in the netherlands
i'm still a bitt struggeling with the vitiligo, i'm lucky that its still not very noticeable but that will change when the summer come's. to bad my doctor won't support me with it....
Of course when it first started i was like WTF is this??? and I researched it a lil and it was devastating to me, I chose to ignore it (prob not the best thing) but by ignoring it I came to terms with it, and at this point in my life I am humbled by it, It is a part of me, nothing I can hide, I can live, or hide in my misery. I personally, choose life :)
I love your positive spirit!! It is definitely OK to be OK with your vit!!! At the same time I definitely can relate to those that are struggling with vitiligo. Unfortunately all vitiligans have to take the vitiligo journey!! It takes time to come to terms with it! It forces a look at the man/woman in the mirror!! Keep smilinng VP!!

it suprises me that most of the people who have vitiligo are living a good life ( healthy enough sport and care for there body)
are you making any progress with your treatment for the vitiligo ?
what do you do with the light therapy and wich sunbeds are you using ?

Thank You, it's a shame your doctor does not give you support, why is that? Have you looked for another doctor?
keep up the positive thoughts !
