Relationship Status:: Engaged

About Me:: Determination and rising above my new challenge is what defines me right now. Alopecia is what you make of it--some days it goes by and I am good, and other days are difficult for me. I am grieving.
This disease is given me the opportunity to learn more about myself. It will show the beauty and sprit for who I am, while NOT defining me as a victim of hair loss. Nothing has changed. Hair, is just hair. And I always will keep smiling!
I can't wear my hair the way I used to, even from this photo its hard to tell. In the end I will be stronger for it.
"Determination and rising above my new challenge is what defines me".

Do you have alopecia?: Alopecia areata

Are you age 18 or older?: No - I am not 18 or older

Touching Tears

I'm not one to "blog" very much, but I feel this deserves proper attention. I had just received my sister's wedding invitation, and in lieu of gifts they each picked a charity. My sister picked the NAAF. Although I did know about this.... (and I cried when she told me)....... seeing it on the invitation just put a big ol knot in my throat ....... and yes, made me cry all over again. So, I thought I would share my sister's thoughtfulness with you all! Have a Wonderful Day!!! I am sooooooooo… Continue

There was another one in Chicago but I called them and found out that the project was cancled before they even got a chance to start it because of funding issues.

Good luck with the test if you descide to take part in it.

Especially a group of college girls who can be rather judgemental at times. I just try to do the best that I can. What kind of nursing do you do?

At 10:22am on January 6, 2009, Nini said…: Welcomo Jennifer:
Yes, never loose your beautiful smile. Keep on keeping on, this is an opportunity for all of us to shine for who we really are. And as you said sometimes we wake up ok and sometimes we don't, but at then we are healthy people. We may be missing some or all our hair, but we not handicap. So keep it up and as you wrote "Determination and rising above my new challenge is what defines me". gotta love it!

Welcome, keep in touch!

I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. You can find out more about it on my page -- and let me know how else I can help.
