About Me:

When I was 6, I got a mild case of AA; just a tiny bald spot. Two years later, after another traumatic event took place in my life, it developed into AU. About nine years later, it changed to AT, where it has been for 26 years. I tried the steroid shots and had a biopsy. I have cicatricial alopecia..poor prognosis. Strangely enough, I've had some scalp growth. First it was peach fuzz, then I had long white wirey hairs on both sides of my head, then dark hair grew..I have to trim it to wear a wig. I have body hair, (minus the legs-but who cares about that anyway); I have most facial hair, (including some very charming hairs that insist on growing out of what I'll call a beauty mark, ok, ok, so it's a mole), and I don't have nose hair. I've always worn a synthetic wig. My parents were totally ashamed of me so I dealt with a lot of negativity at home and at school. I was never taken to a specialist or even a dermatologist. My first visit to a derm was sometime in my thirties. I've had a lot of unhealthy relationships but 8 years of therapy have helped me in many ways; including my self esteem-thereby my choices in the relationship dept. were improved. I married a wonderful man in 2006. We do a lot of exciting activities together. I'm really having the time of my life. He is absolutely my soul mate. And I met him online!!! Looking forward to many supportive exchanges on this great site.
