I stood up for me!

I recently posted a photo of myself without a hairpiece on my FACEBOOK! The Caption read as follows:

"I am tired of hiding. Some of you know this, some don't... I have Alopecia Universalis. An autoimmune disease involving rapid loss of all hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata, with an incidence of .001% (1 in 100,000). Alopecia Universalis may be acute and short-lived or remain permanently. There is no known cause or cure.

Trying a "True to Life" Synthetic wig by Raquel Welch...

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 12:57pm 0 Comments

I just ordered a new wig from wigs.com. I never order synthetic but I'm saving for a vacuum wig, so I'm trying to save money... I ordered a Raquel Welch Synthetic Tru2Life wig. I hope it holds up...

Dear Lynny,
It was so inspiring to talk to you today. You are courageous and beautiful. Keep making a difference, follow your heart. Your light shines so bright even when it feels dim to you. I am always here for you. I'm glad you invited me to your site and I'm so happy you are back on communicating with others. You have such comforting insight. You never know who's life you are touching and maybe even saving. Allow that love to flow back to you. I love you, Mom

Hi Lyndsey,
My love you look gorgeous! You suit every style and color (lucky you!)
I understand your frustrations and pain, I too went through a phase where I was so depressed and very anxious but the first step is actually recognising that you are feeling this way and slowly you can rebuild your self confidence...I sound like a seasoned professional but I only actually just lost ALL of my hair (on top and below) this year. I've only bought synthetic wigs (from www.voguewigs.com) and I love them because I can change my style and color every day (or more :-))
You'll have to post a picture of the Raquel Welch wig because I wanted to buy one too and would love to see what it looks like!
Keep smiling darling,
xxx Lisa (from Australia)

Oh yeah..wanted to tell you that I also suffer from depression and anxiety. I have so much anxiety over my darn head all the time!

Do you think it helps being a hairdresser? I get so mad that I can't do stuff on my own...because I feel like the only one who really knows how I want a wig cut or colored or whatever. Makes me want to go to hairdressing school!
Keep your chin up though. It's a daily struggle for most of us. It's nice to know people here can feel our pain because people who don't have alopecia could never possibly understand. So, make sure you read read read when you're feeling down!
