Hey, I also recently joined on here. I would love to chat with you! I was diagnosed with alopecia areata last year, and have several spots right now that I hide by wearing my hair up. But I am definitely interested in getting some great hairpieces! You look amazing, I love your hair!
And I know what you mean about how it makes you feel about yourself. I LOVED my long dark hair and always got compliments on it. I always felt like my hair was what made me ME. That probably sounds silly but.....
Well, anyways feel free to chat me up whenever you like!! Do you have a myspace?

Hi Katie, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.

Hey, how are you? My little girl just turned 2 on the 10th. So how did you alopecia progress? Did it start with spots, or did it all just kind of come out at once? Also, do you think that stress or anxiety has anything to do with it? Well, I look forward to chatting with you!

Hi Katie. Welcome to Alopecia world. You said you wanted to hear my story, well, it isn't all that interesting. I got alopecia when I was in grade five so I guess that was when I was ten. Since then I've lost all of my hair and I where a wig. How about you? What's your story?

Hi Katie, and welcome!!! I really do admire your spirit and attitude regarding your alopecia! I would like to invite you to join the "Tennesseans with Alopecia" group here on our site -- I went to school in Sewanee, TN just up the road from where you are now, and am always glad to meet a neighbor!!!

The short and sweet version of my story is that I started losing my hair when I was 4 years old. With the exception of high school, I was totally bald and wore wigs. Currently I have my head shaved, because I finally got sick once and for all of having to worry about my hair coming in and falling out constantly. It's such a relief to not have to worry about it! I look forward to getting to know you -- enjoy your time here!!!

Hey :)
How are you?

Thats good, I'm alright. Well when I was 10 I got really sick like out of the blue, my immune was really low and let me catch everything. Then in about a year because of all the stress of being sick at such a young age I got spots all over my head. The progressed so that I had lost all the hair on both sides of head, with only hair left in the middle. I eventually got sick of it being in the way and just shaved off the rest...and it never grew back. It's deff been a huge trial for me with school and boyfriends and even family sometimes, but I love that I have that this site is around now, cause I've never met anyone who had the same thing as me. But yeah, talk anytime<3

Thank you for the message. I haven't had a chance to really update my profile, my son keeps me busy. You are so strong and beautiful.

Hello my Katie! Just wanted to say hey. Love ya!

HAVE A GREAT DAY! Luv u bunches!

I am so proud of you! You have made a big step. Show them what kind of girl they are dealing with. Strong and powerful with God given strength!! Have a good day. Off to the hair show I go. I love you and pass it along to everyone else.

Hey so the Doc made the call. Yall were gonna do that anyway. Sometimes that little bit of hair will get in the way. We can do whatever you would like. Are yall gonna check about a vac wig? It might be good to decide now because it will take awhile to get it. Check with L.O.L. and see what you have to do. I love you!!! We will talk later.

Girl you so Hot! LOL! You are now, what I want to become some day. A strong mental and spiritual woman. I love you so much!!

You go, girl! What a beautiful color you're wearing!

Heeyy katie,
i am 17 i was just diagnoised with alopecia this summer actually. I'm terribly worried to go back to school. Although i only have 3 spots. How did the kids at your school treat you?
I would LOVE to hear from you
Laceey

Katie,
I can completely relate to you with the whole crying yourself to sleep thing, i've been doing that for the entire summer. When i told my friends i actually couldn't help but get tears in my eyes. My friends have been amazing so far how ever. I do worry about the whole boy thing a lot . Your story gives me faith though that there are some boys out there that will love you no matter what. You are a very lucky girl to have found someone so early. I am very religious to, it has helped me through this so far. Its just really hard. I hate thinking about some of the things i won't be able to do like go on roller coasters, go to the beach. Did it change your life allot? And you seem like a very sweet and strong person as well! You have an amazing outlook on life and this whole experience. It does feel amazing to have a connection with someone you have never met its cool to talk to someone who has actually been through what i am going through because no matter how my friends really try to understand they just never fully can. I hope to hear from you soon! And i will be here for you when ever you need me as well.
Hugs
Laceey

heey katie,
your soo cuute aha. I hope i will be able to make it through, talking to people like you is most definitely helping!! You just have such a positive outlook on such a sad condition. One of my biggest fears is being treated differently by people. Even my friends have just been so much nicer to me. I know that doesn't seem like a bad thing but to me it sort of is. I just want to be normal and be treated like before i was diagnoised with this. I can not believe your only 14 you are just so mature. Do you think this condition has changed you for the best. Many people say it helped who they are inside. I think it is doing that to be for sure. I'm so glad i found someone like you to talk to you. =). When is your first day of school? Mines coming up. I'm VERY nervous aha. Hope to hear from you soon
Hugs!
Love Laceey

Hey lovely,
that is so odd never heard of that before. aha. I am going into Grade 12 now. How are you liking high school? I personally liked junior high a little better, smaller less scary i guess aha. But if you keep your good friends close by you'll be just fine! Ahh, did you head itch alot when you were losing your hair?! My is .

awee, Katie your the best!
It would certainly be really neat to hear you on the phone! Although not sure how much the long distant would cost aha. I am from Brussels Belgium. I love your outlook its really true. It was so odd, i met my new best friend just this summer when i was diagnoised with alopecia! Its like God gave me just what i needed to be able to handle this situation just when i was losing faith. !You are very right, and i will pray . pray .pray :)
