About Me:
Im on face book now look for Elizabeth beech from mobile or Grandbay Alabama im 26 years old. I started loosing some of my hair at 14 it got very thin all over . but didnt develope (or notice) bald spots until i was 17 . I didnt have access to the internet and my docter was so concerned with my ear surgery and migrains to put much thought into my complaits of hairloss. all he said was its Alopiacia. wich means loss of hair and there was nothing he could do." and that was that untill I saved up the money to see a dermitoligist (Ican't find my spell checker lol) and he said that at the piont I was there wasnt a lot I could do. Ouch!.... now here I am I went ahead and shaved off the little scraglies here and there. its the second time Ive gone complete baldy. I got my feelings hurt really bad the first time (5 years ago) and I didnt think I could ever do it agian, I creid but I done it. I still wear my bandanas and hats in public. I have 1 wig it looks good but its itchy to no end!
Help me I need some self esteem if anyone has any to spare.... I am very open minded and hold none of my friends differances agianst them. and expect them not to play with my bald head like a basketball. my carcasm is alomost always in good natuer, and I meen no harm.
I love with all my heart, and I am very loyal, but I am not nieve.
Im a scatter brain in a wirl. and i also have rhamatiod athrits. im a stay at home mom with 2 beutifull children a 7 year old son, and a 5 year old daughter.

    Hi Ms. Elizabeth!! I'm Brandy, 31, married and mom to two beautiful kids..boy and girl as well..ages 9 and 11. I've had alopecia for almost 2 yrs. now and am very comfortable with it these days although I still refrain from going completely bald in public. I work irregularly at our local hospital and only wear my wigs there lately..otherwise I just buy material and make my own wraps. I, like you, find humor here w/alopecia. I went through ups and downs....and the downs were pretty bad...but I found support here and had very accepting friends and family members.
    Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm stuck working a few midnights here at the hosp. and thought I'd check in here (I need to do that more often) and take a break from my work for a bit...in fact I think I finished all my work anyway and would prefer to type then read a book and risk making myself more tired then I already am!!
    Bye for now! Brandy

    Hello and welcome, Elizabeth!
    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 just won two national awards!) You can find out more on my page -- and it's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf." Let me know if there's anything else I can do!
    By the way, you have beautiful eyes. I am sure you heard that before!

    Hi Elizabeth...yeah..I understand about the wig. I only wear mine to work..as soon as I get home it comes flyin' off and I wrap my head up w/a wrap. It's been so hot here and my hair (what's left) is growing and it gets itchy so I'm constantly taking my wrap off to itch or let my head "breathe" for a minute or two...We're stuck in a heatwave here so I can imagine it's really hot down by you.
    Not much else going on here, getting ready to do some camping this weekend before we start work on our house..fun fun. I have alot of laundry to do and not sure how I"m going to get it done in this heat.
    Your job sounds nice...I was a stay at home mom for quite sometime but then got into photography and started a small business from home..then took on a small job at the hospital here in town working at the switchboard..which I love. It's swing shift so it's been an adjustment for us all but it's only a few days a week and the paycheck helps....doesnt last long but it helps...lol!!
    Hope all is going well with you...what did you decide on the tatoo?? I was thinking of getting one done of a shamrock on my head...a permanent one...but at this point would just do about anything to get my eyebrows tatooed!! LOL!!
    Talk to you soon ~Brandy

    Hi Elizabeth,
    How are you today? Welcome to this wonderful site. My daughter has alopecia so I know how difficult it can be at times. I hope to be chatting with you soon.
