About Me:
Hi, my name is Jeanne (most people call me Bird, u gotta luv childhood nicknames that stick w/ ya 4 life). I'm a 32 year old wife and mother. I have the most spontaneous, loving, motivated, supportive not to mention super hot husband (my hott-boy). My son is just as spontaneous, loving and adorable as his daddy. My family is a true blessing they have been very supportive of me in so many ways. I love art it is my true passion but, I also love writing and philosophy. I could honestly spend hours and hours in my studio at home painting on canvas and reading or writing. Being creative has really been an outlet for me in dealing with my hairloss. I have had alopecia areata since I was 7 years old and for the most part was always able to hide my bald spots. When I turned 30 I started losing my hair at a rapid rate and within 3 weeks lost it all. So at this point I now have alopecia universalis. I have had a very hard time adjusting. I constantly remind myself that I'm healthy, it could be worse or its only hair....but sometimes its still hard to cope. I don't know anyone else that has alopecia so when I found Alopecia World it really gave me hope. I'm looking forward to making lots of new friends :-)

    Hello and welcome, Jeanne!
    Boy, I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it 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 help...you can find out more on my page -- and it's available on this site under "Bookshelf." Let me know if there's anything else I can do!

    Hi Jeanne, welcome to alopeciaworld! What a coincidence, my nickname is Bird, lol, my brothers nicknamed me when I was a little girl. It has stuck and at 52, most of Harrisburg knows me as Bird. We are namesakes, lol! Our alopecia started around the same time in life too, now if you were born in December, I'm going to be spooked, lol! Stay blessed and come join us at Sisterhood of Women Who Have Shaved Their Heads and National Bald Out Day!

    Oh yeah, I write poetry and short stories too, I wrote my first story when I was in the second grade, I won an award and it was published in the local paper. Nothing published since then...

    Hi Jeanne, nice family photos. Thanks for the friend request, the think positive is very positive and sweet. It's weird because that sounded like a remark my daugher (has AA) said one day with the shedding "I wish it would just all come out" she's ready for the wigs, just recently got a fall piece and loves it. have a blessed day. Alma.
