 ilent Auction\n\nAlopecia Areata is a common autoimmune skin disease r
 esulting in the loss of hair on the scalp, and elsewhere on the body. 
 It usually starts with one more more small, round, smooth patches on t
 he scalp and can progress ...to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totali
 s) or complete loss of body hair (alopecia universalis). For more info
 rmation, please visit http://www.naaf.org/.\n\nMy history in short –
  I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata when I was 17 years old (1997). 
 I was a senior in high school and honestly, I was totally devastated b
 y this. What girl doesn’t want their hair for prom? What girl wants 
 to be made fun of because she looks “different”? Please tell me wh
 at girl doesn’t want their hair, period. When you find her, I’d li
 ke to shake her hand. ;o) Anyway…over the next few months of my AA, 
 I went to dermatologists, I tried natural supplements, I saw different
  types of docs (medical, holistic, you name it). Nothing provided me w
 ith a long-term “fix” to my hair loss problem. Treatments ranged f
 rom topical ointments, pills/vitamins on a daily basis, to having cort
 isone shots injected in my scalp. Let me tell you, THAT is painful. I 
 decided to stop all treatment because nothing seemed to be working for
  me. I had patchy hair loss then, this form is most often referred to 
 as Alopecia Areata. It progressed in to Alopecia Totalis which is comp
 lete loss of hair on the scalp. Eventually it grew back. In 2003 I sta
 rted losing my hair again. This time, it was the worst case, Alopecia 
 Universalis. Alopecia Universalis is the rarest form of AA and results
  in total loss of hair on the entire scalp and body. I was a nervous w
 reck because I was getting married that year. Lucky for me, I had a fu
 ll head of hair through September. It was falling out worse and worse 
 everyday. Eventually my eyebrows, eyelashes, and every other hair on m
 y body disappeared. It was to the point of not being able to hide it a
 nymore and like everyone knows, I decided to take matters in to my own
  hands. In November, Mike shaved my head for me. It was a very emotion
 al experience for both of us. You see, AA doesn’t just affect me…i
 t affects everyone around me. Everyone that loves me. I tried that nig
 ht to wear a wig and it was THE most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever d
 one. Not only was the wig itchy, but I felt like a complete fake. Beca
 use I’m not a fake person, about two hours in to the evening, I deci
 ded to take it off. I went to our vehicle, took off my wig, and came b
 ack as a new woman. Please, don’t for one minute think that that was
  easy for me. Even today, 6 years later, I struggle on a daily basis w
 ith my hair loss. I have gotten used to the stares, the snide comments
 , the poking of fun behind my back. Through all of this though, I coul
 dn’t have made it without my parents, my siblings, my husband, and m
 y friends. As strong as they all make me out to be, THEY are all my ba
 ckbone…\n\nWe look forward to seeing many of you, along with some ne
 w faces, at our next event! If you have any questions, please get in t
 ouch with Mallory Crowner, Brooke Jacobs, or Amanda Lipsey. You can al
