Hi Michelle,

Thanks for inviting me. It is always good to have a friend that knows what you are going through. I have been reading your blog about your children and I take my hat off to you. You are such a wonderful mother who I can see is going through so much yet it seems that you have such strength.

My goodness, don't you have your hands full! I have three daughters and thought I was busy! You deserve a medal! I went to a high school where the year before I went there were twin girls with alopecia. It was amazing how they coped, they had such strong self-esteems. I think that a major part of that was they were going through it together and constantly had someone just like them to pull them through. Does only one twin have alopecia? Is anyone concerned about the other twin having it as well?

Hi Michelle! I have twins as well. I want to thank you for the invite. I also want to say welcome to our group! Feel free to make an introduction! It's nice for everyone to know where everyone is coming from! Are your twins identical or fraternal?

Hi Michelle! Yes my twins are identical. They had Twin to Twin Transfusion when I was pregnant. I was diagnosed when I was only 13 weeks along and had surgery to fix it. This only effects identical twins. Have you heard of this before?
