I need someone who knows what I'm going through/been through

I've had alopecia universalis since 2006 and have been going through it with no one there to understand exactly what I'm going through. I have support, just no one who truly understands what it's like. It's taken a lot to get me to come on this site, but I realized I can only be strong for so long. I need someone who knows.

I understand you, I life the same thing(matter), I stay at home and I find nobody to speak or to understand(include) that I life in the quotidient and especially which I do not support(bear) to see myself in the ice(mirror). Then I asked of the help(assistant) a psychologist and we work above (I do not find difference) but here in France if I want to stay in long disease I have to make what the doctors say or if not I would not have any more of returned. They do not understand(include) our suffering good luck to you and courage

I too have had Alopecia Universalis since 2006. I had hair in early May, found 3 bald patches in late May, Lost all of the hair on my scalp by the end of June and by August I lost all of my body hair. I have never heard of Alopecia until I was diagnosed with it. They've tried multiple treatments, sent me to U of M , tried experimental drugs with no success. It was horrifying, I felt alone, an outcast, everyone assumes I am sick and going thru radiation and chemo. After 5 years I can say I am finally starting to feel comfortable in my own skin. This is who I am, it does not make me less of a woman. I use to look in the mirror and not even know that person inside or out. It's rough! But I lost my hair, not my life, not a limb, not my mind, I have so much to be grateful for and I focus on those things :)

Hi Jen I've had AA since I was 13 and I went through pure hell as was going through secondary school I felt totally alone and put on a brave face but sometimes you just got to blow and I found writing it all down helps. I'm now 44 and totally lost my hair after major surgery 14yrs ago. It's hard to really say how I feel but I guess since I've had it so long it's part of me and to be honest I think I have blocked out all the hard parts from when I was younger. It feels like "why me?" I missed out on the teenage part of learning about how to style my hair etc though I did try with the wee drop I still had. I've become quite lazy when it comes to styling my wigs because it just feels too much energy lol. I now see it as part of me and I love my bald head to be honest. You are not alone though and please stay with the group but be aware there are sites out there that will try and con you into guaranteed hair growth and ask for money....STAY WELL AWAY FROM THEM.
I'm here to talk to if you need to ok as are the rest of the group.

Hi,

My name is Adam Pongan I have AA for 21 years. I have seen loads of doctors and tried every solution available. The best thing to do is to love yourself it took me 15 years to take my hat off. I now love myself. The only thing that needs to be fixed are the people that do not support you. I dropped out of school and got into drugs because of my hair loss. Fight it head on become comfortable with yourself and eventually you will love your self and the rest will fallow.

XOXOXO
Adam Pongan
