Hello and welcome, Sonia,
I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your hair loss.
I know how hard it can be; I've had it for about 30 years and even wrote a book about it.
Let me know if you need to talk or need advice. I'm here to help.

Welcome to the AW family. I hope you find it as inspiring and supportive as I have found it. You are welcome to check out my profile and read any of my blogs.
Hi Sonia! Welcome. I'm pretty much a newbie here myself, but I have learned so much in a short time. The people here are great and so open about sharing their lives with the group. You'll be okay, hair or not, you're still Sonia.
Hi again, Sonia...I just posted to your discussion, but I want to add that we're very similar in age. I was diagonosed and had my first bald patches in my late 40's, and lost it all at age 55. Yes, it sucks. But, I have a rich life and I'm trying hard not to let my hair loss control it. Please take care and remember that you are not your hair.
