About Me:
Hi everyone, I am 34 years old and I have alopecia areata. The first sign of it came in 1997 and actually was one of my friends who noticed it. At the beginning it was so confusing to me, I did not know what was happening to me; just after a while I realize it was alopecia. I have never heard of it before. Since then I got bald spots in different areas; the hair grows up again but not before another spot starts its way out. This has been a kind of shocking because I also have another disease since I was a kid that have not make me be a normal person especially in relationships. There was a point where I just stared to ask my self why I was so unlucky. Now I have more acceptance with myself, but still battle with it . . .
