I'm 48. I was just diagnosed yesterday. Kinda in shock right now. My hair is falling out in quarter size clumps. I feel alone and confused. My partner is great and supportive. I'm realizing I'm not alone. These pages that people have created are helping. I want to say thank you for putting yourself out there! Jillian

Hey Neighbor! I live in Hillside. I have had Alopecia on and off from the time I was 12 years old until now (I am 42 years old). It is a tough blow but you can get through it. This disorder is frustrating at times, but I just keep thinking there are far more worse things that could be had and then I remember to be grateful.
Hi Jillian, my daughter is going through this crazy letting go as well. Being her best bud I am going through it along side her as much as I can. I am sorry for your struggle. My beautiful daughter is trying to make sense and make plans. We are in a western suburb of Chicago as well. I am hoping that there might be a gathering for support some time soon. hope you are well, Jackie
great talking to you the other day.
Gald your doing better. Do you know if your going to be able to make BGDL all the info is on the Chicago group page.
hey can I get the info of the man you got your hair piece from?/
take care jess
hi jillian,
sorry i missed you call when i did finally get it i didn't want to call to late so i will try you tomorrow. so you have some info to share can't wait to hear
I would love to see your new hair piece so let me know when you get it in and where you got it. I'm always looking for new places to check out/
chin up girl! your gonna beat this even without hair. what kinda of wigs are you going to look at? did you ever check out that site www.newlifehair.com always another choice for a wig. But look J my hair grew back yes i have a few little spots but maybe it's just gotta run it course. Kims right I felt so much better after I shaved my head it gets you used to what you might end up with or in my case i had such a great amount if hair lost growing it back from scratch was best for me. I think there are a lot of people who have regrowth then total loss.
have a great trip to az
