Canadians with alopecia

It is so exciting to see a special web for Canadians with aa. I have alopecia universalis & have tried to get a group started here in my hometown with little success---although I am aware of a few with aa & au. I am interested in knowing how others are coping. I have had this condition for 6yrs & it started late in life---so I am not so young. Are there any "older" people out there that would like to chat????

Hi Delores
Have you looked at the NAAF's international support groups? They have a listing of all the support groups in Canada, there may already be one nearby! If there isn't, it's not hard to start a group, the NAAF can help you with that. I live in Guelph, Ontario and recently started a group. There are quite a number of "older" people with alopecia, even in my group three of about 20 people are retirement age or better. You are not alone! If you need any advice on coping with alopecia, feel free to chat with me. I've had alopecia for 30 years and although I may not be "older" I am here if you need me!

Hi there! These are some older postings, but I am really interested in reaching out to other areas of Canada, to see if people are connecting to CANAAF, and might be interested in talking about how we are all organizing in our respective cities . . .
