About Me:
I am a Proud First Nation Aboriginal Canadian of British Columbia.

At the age of thirty-three, I have a lot to be thankful for.

I have been blest with having two wonderful Parents who have taught me right from wrong. In their own tender way they have guided me through the toughest times in my life, they have never judged or criticized my decisions throughout the years.

With all their love and support, I made it!
I am who I am today because of them.

God blest me 15 years ago with my first son Warren. He was nearly taken from us not long after he turned one. My mother calls him our miracle baby.

I was blest again with my second son James 1997. He has such a wonderful imagination.

In 2007 I had my 3rd son Cyrus Dre Chance... we got the name Chance of off Little People Big World. Cyrus was nearly taken from us upon delivery.
God too has given my baby a chance in this world.

It will be 4 years this coming July since I had married the love of my life... (but) we've been together 16 years. My loving husband has stayed by my side through thick an thin. Through hells gates and back; our love for one another that is so strong like no other, has brought us to where we are today. Yeah, we have our share of problems, ups an downs, alot of learning experiences have come an gone. Some bad experiences I hope not to pass unto my children. (Our Children)

I have two beautiful younger sisters; before all this Alopecia stuff...
People would think I was the youngest. I love my sisters to death. Without them, I wouldn't be able to deal with all this frustration, confusion, fear and sadness. Being by their side... I can laugh about all this. They make me feel normal... comfortable and free to express who I really am. I miss them so much, everyday that passes... my heart would ache but only for a second, I would think of them and start praying for them and their families. I love you my dear sisters...
love u tons an tons...

I also have an older brother, who I wish I was close to like my sisters.
Right now; I thank God he has his children with him. Thats all that matters to me right now, for he loves them more than anyone will know.
Thank you Lord for you blessings on me.

I recently found out in October I have Alopecia Areata! Still not sure what it is, I have seen one doctor. Trying to educate myself, look for support groups. Finding it helpful watching other people's stories... I live a Community with a population of less than 500 ppl. To my knowledge, I am the only one here with this condition... Dear Lord, help me find an answer... or the support I need to get through this! I feel so lost.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

It is starting all over again...

I wish this wasn't happening to me...

I am so scared

Well, what can I say... after all this time has past!

It has been over a year now since I lost all my hair.

Everything was going great, so I thought!

Damn! I don't deal with stress as well as I used too.

I lost my hair in October, a year has now past...

My hair grew all back, oh what joy it brought to my…

I am still sad, stressed and depressed!

I am still confused, tired and hurt!



Sad, because I want to just hide under the covers of my sheets and sleep until my hair grows back!

And now reality has just struck… it may never grow back

I feel I can't go through another day like this…



Stressed because I have been trying to avoid going back to work,

I really do think it was the job and boss I had back in October

I blame him for all this has happening to… Continue

Thank you all for your love and prayers...

Seeing everyone's comments brighten my day



The weather maybe nasty...

Strong winds blowing; (I used to love letting the wind blow through my hair )

There has been alot of rain; (Trying so hard to wash away my pain )

Dark clouds hovering over me the last 2-3 weeks... Trying to dampen my days



The weather may be nasty;

This pain, it hurts so much! I am trying so hard to let go...



I am trying my best to understand!



I am! I AM!! trying to understand WHY ME????

when I don't understand myself...



I am tired of being in the dark, hiding... feeling ashamed

Hello Ursula
Thank you for beeing my friend. I come from a little country in the middle of Europe named Slovakia, former Czechoslovakia. I am at the same age as you are, married for 12 years. I have got 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. The yongest girl 15 months old has got congenital alopecia aerata due to hemolyza after rh-inkompatibility during pregnancy. Simply she was born with it. Alopecia aerata at all is very rare in our country maybe becouse we have got only 5 000 000 inhabitants and our dermatologists are not very experienced with it. My child began regrowth in december after her first haircut, fortunately. I like your children , they are so cute! Especially your youngest one. How old is he now? In our country women used to stay with children at home until they are 3 years old, to have a babysiter is very expensive. Do you work? What do you do? I am florist and gardener.
Looking forward for hearing from you soon. Dana .

Hi Ursula,

I also live in rural BC - though not as rural as you I think! - in Nelson. Just wanted to let you know that I have a friend in Prince Rupert who is a teacher in a school there... she has told me that she works with another woman who has alopecia universalis, just in case you want to perhaps speak to someone in person who has been through it all. I believe this woman wears wigs and so may be able to give you some info if you are interested in going that route. I think you are fairly close to Prince Rupert? In any case I wish you all the best. I am near the same age as you and lost my hair last year. It does get easier.

Hi Ursula, Glad to see you here! I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to Alopecia World. I have been living with Alopecia Areata since 1991 and know full well the struggle it can be. I look forward to getting to know you. Cheryl, Co-founder

Hello and welcome, Ursula!
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 on my page -- and let me know if there's anything else I can do!
