Wow.. We live right down the street!!! Small World huh!~!

I have lived here since August 2000, I looove it up here.. So much to do. I used to live in the Los Angeles area.. Big Change, Everyone used to ask where I came from. lol

But, I think I will stay here for the rest of my life.. Its sooo pretty and we have soo much stuff to do....

I hope they do the BGDL up here, then we can meet :)

lol I just learned it from joining the club on here.. It stands for Bald Girls Do Lunch :) I see they are having a dinner in San Francisco..

I remember that!! After I had my son It started out as patches all in my hair. It got so bad I could not cover them up. I would wear a ponytail of what the hair I had left at the bottom of my neck.
I went to Walt Disney World when my son was 6 months. When I saw the pictures I almost died. I looked soo horrible....
Thats when I decided to start wearing wigs.. Which now I have worn for almost ten years! I wish they would find a cure to AU, that would be the best thing ever!!!!

Don't feel bad for not knowing the lingo.. I have no idea either when I joined.. But, everyday I learn new and exciting things from this wonderful website.. I am sooo glad I found it....

Yes I love this website. I wear my hair in a bun it and barely covers the spot on the top of my head. Nor does it cover the spots on the side of my head. My hair is so thin anyhow. I have met a few wonderful people on this website and am very greatful for it.

Hi there. Do you have scarring alopecia? If so, are you on any sort of treatments and what have you found the most effective?
