Hello everyone. My name is Heather. I am a nursing student in Bakersfield, CA. In the beautiful(?) south valley. I am going to be graduating soon and I am just wondering how I am going to deal with the whole alopecia thing in the hospital. I am currently wearing a hair piece and I hope that will work well enough. I am still pretty new to accepting my condition, I have been losing my hair for several year, but I found my hair piece has really helped me get on with my life. I see so many people here who are able to go around without anything on top and I am just amazed. I never had even thought of doing such a thing until I came here today!

Hello People:)
Am Deborah. I live in Paso Robles,CA ,45 mintues from the coast.Central coast. Am married, 36 yrs and have 3 grown children, 2 girls and a son. Have 3 wonderful grandgirls 10,9 and 7.
Ive been in the San Luis Obispo county for 36 yrs. My husband and I had moved to the central coast after we were married in the Bay Area, Castro Valley, CA.
I've had Alopicia Areata for the last 2-3 yrs..In the begining it was very slow, but now the process of loseing my hair has grown much larger now.So far, am able to hide it, cause its comming out from underneath. But in those areas its becoming thin on top now. Its really sad to see my wonderful auburn hair going away everyday by shedding and handful when i wash my hair...Am glad that ive found this website. Able to become friends with others that has the same problems as myself.
