My first time posting. I have had Alopecia for about 12 or 13 years now.  It started with a little circle at the nape of my neck and I thought my hairdresser had nicked me with the clippers.  Then it progressively got worse and was coming out in the comb.I had always had relatively thick hair that I kept short...then it began thinning out and it was horrible.  I was used to people complimenting me on the cut and color which was naturally mixed gray. I finally decided to try a wig that was very similar to the color and style in which I wore my hair.  People/co-workers would ask "what did you do to your hair?" My answer "oh I got a new style" ;)  I finally became totally bald and it grew back, but not all over.  Then it all fell out and it never came back. Now I have gotten used to wearing wigs and I get lots of compliments on "my hair" :)  I am a pretty positive and upbeat person and I have come to accept it.  I will even tell other women sometimes when they start discussing their "hair issues".  I am grateful that since there is nothing I can do about it, and that since I Am bald, it is not from cancer. I am not ready to go au natural in public, but my hubby loves me...bald head and all <3 .  I had my eyebrows for a long time, but then they thinned out and went away.  I have become proficient in "drawing" them on. Everyone deals with life situations differently, and I guess I would just rather be out taking pictures of the moon,birds, bees, flowers and things instead of stressing about my hair.  The only time I stress a little is when my wig starts looking a little frayed and then I just order another :)  Hope this gave someone a little laugh or encouragement :)
