I am 29 years old and have had Alopecia since I was 17 months old. I am married and I have 2 sons, Brandon who is 5years old and Cameron who is 6 months old.
Acutally, those pictures of me and the newborns are my niece and nephew, born 2 weeks apart on 7/14/07 and 8/02/07. I don't have any kids, so my nieces and nephew are my babies!!!
Hi Brandy,
YESS! It's Saturday morning, the kids are watching cartoons on TV so I have a minute ;-)
My girls see me all the way with bandana, scarf, hats, bald and with my wig on. However, since I quit my job 2 years ago, they rarely see me with my wig on... most of the time, I'm wearing a bandana. I only wear my wig for special occasion.... so special that the last time I perfumed myself, my youngest said I was smelling like a wig ;-)
My oldest daughter (5.5. yo) has told me she wishes I had hair because I would then be more beautiful. I was extremely surprised by her remark since she has always knew me bald... I guess she would like to have a more 'normal' mummy but hey, she will be stuck for the rest of her life with an imperfect one!

HI, I'm fairly new here and I came upon your page through the BGDL group. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! Your baby is sooo cute, by the way. I was diagnosed w/ AA at 10 months old, and lost it all at age 5. So, we probably have very similar experiences. Did you lose all your hair at 17 months? Or was it gradual?(sp?) Looking forward to forging a new frienship w/ you. Hope to hear from you soon! :) Sarah
Thank you for adding me as a new friend! So what kind of wigs do you wear? I like long hair myself. My color is usually a 4 or 6. I have been wearing just the regular lace wigs. But I have just recently ordered a vaccuum wig. I am so excitedd about that. I'll post a pic when I get it (in about 4-6 months). I know, it takes a long time to get them. So do you work?
