i've been suffering from alopecia areata since 2006, for a long time i was wearing wigs, as far as i know there still isn't a cure.. but i was also told in some cases this hair loss was related to stress... kind of hard not to stress when you know your hair is falling out.. causes quite alot of distress and anxiety..
but after a while i stopped stressing about it.. im not dying.. im surrouned by people that love me... i just learnt to be happy.. and not let the negativity get the best of me.. its taken a few years but my hair is now the longest it has been since i was first diagnosed with alopecia.. i did at one stage have less than 50% of my hair..
i still stress out from time to time.. and i will loose a tiny patch about the size of a 5c piece but the regrowth usually kicks in about a week later...
i just wanted people suffering to know there is always hope.. and im living proof of it :)

Hi All,

I have an oportunity to tell the story of Alopecia on National TV here in Australia. I would like to hear from any of you, in Australia who are brave enough to help tell this story so we can get some assistance in finding a cure. I know this is a long shot, but it seems to me, that due to the fact that Alopecia in all it's forms isn't life threatening, it is ignored.

Let me know if you're interested and I can give you a call for a chat

Kind regards
Tracey

Hi Aussies,

The Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation is up and running. Please visit www.aaaf.org.au and see how you can get involved or connected into your local support group.

I am keen to get more photo's and articles on Aussies in the media.

The AAAF will be attending the Australasian Dermatologist Convention in Darwin in May and Hair2010 in Cairns in June - if your in those facilities, come along and I will shout you a drink.

Cheers
Chel

Hi fellow Aussies!

I am new to this site, live on the Gold Coast and wondering if anybody else here is a Gold Coast resident? I have an appointment with a Freedom Wig rep next week, terrifie of shaving my hair but from what I have read from others with FW they seem like the most natural way to go. Look forward to connecting with some other Aussies :)
