I find it very sad but yesterday I realised I cannot dry my hair with a hairdrier any more.

There I was endeavouring to make my short bobed hair look reasonable you know give it some body and shape when my upper middle back decided different. I have a section of osteoporosis and it must have nipped nerves I was creased up for rest of day. It is still hot and tweaky and making all my other points more aggressive. IAt the moment I was totally incapacitated pains going around both sides of my ribs ---------phoo------ Right that is out of my system. I read the blog on Oxycontin with interest I am on areally healthy dose every day it is what keeps me going I knew it was very addictive but anything that makes life liveable is where I am at . I shall see if the specialist has any suggestions when I see him on the twelth. The twelth day of Christmas my rheumy said to me............................

I hope my friends you are okay today and have a gentle happy day :) luv gins

Awww gins I had my hair in a shortish bob easy to manage..... Not .. I gave up 12 weeks ago and had the mobile hairdresser give me a short layered sort of pixie cut amazed it came out so well and suited me. Takes me 5 mins to dry, I can dry it if I feel able with hair dryer but I can also put a bit of mouse in and run my fingers through and leave it to dry

I do feel for you as I have not been able to wash, dry or straighten my hair in over a year. I have tried many hair cuts but not had the nerve yet to go too short. Maybe now you will give me the confidence to do it.

I'm pretty sure that you can buy hairdryer stands that you put on a table .They hold the dryer while you dry your hair.

I gave up on a hairdryer years ago, I couldn't hold it as my left arm has been bad for years. My hair has a will of its own and I was worried that it would stick out at funny angles now its short but its been surprisingly well behaved since it was cut. I just run a brush through (no mice) and leave it to dry.

I would love to go back to my very short cut, but I'm a coward!! As I'm a very large lady I feel I would look silly...like a pea on a potato kind of thing!! I can't dry my hair anymore either so I just leave it dry on its own and try and tie it back...of a fashion!! XX

Amanda is right you can buy stands that you just put your dryer onto and hey presto lol. I have never bought one though as I got used to letting my hair dry on its own. I have not used a hair dryer for over ten years now and my hubby bought me a lovely set lol. And I will not have my hair cut either. When I was younger I had very very long hair and I loved it. My father made my mother get it cut short so now I refuse to have it cut by anyone. I trim the ends now and again myself if I can, other than that it is left alone. I only wash my hair with shampoo once a week at most, and that is if I can. Other than that I put myhead under bubble water lol and just chill xxxxx
