    Hi Amy,
    I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. Check it out on my page -- and let me know how else I can help.

    Hi Amy, I was diagnosed AGA when I had just turned 21 (now I'm 23) and I had the same experience you write about. I am now walking my way towards acceptance... i hope we can stay in touch.

    Oh wow! I've actually never met anyone else with Alopecia before, I have friends who have friends or relatives with Alopecia, but have never actually met anyone face to face! It's nice to know there is someone close by with the same stuff going on!

    Well, before it closed down, I went to La Dolce Vita. The owner's name is Michelle, and I believe she has now opened up a new shop in Sauk Rapids. Michelle is great at what she does, and she provides a very comfortable, private environment to look at what she has. I now order my wigs from www.namebrandwigs.com. It's actually a local company, and I have yet to find another site that beats their prices!
