That's me on the right. I've had alopecia in all of its shapes and sizes for 20 years. I've lived in Philly my whole life. I have been through tons of emotions and battles with alopecia and look forward to meeting others who are going through their own thing with their alopecia.
That is how it is with my family. I think some people have a hard time because they are afraid they may say the wrong thing so they just say nothing at all. I am so sorry you had to go through those treatments alone. At that age I know it had to have been kind of hard. Is your boyfriend pretty supportive? My husband is really great about it.
Hi Melissa, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi Melissa, actually members on this site are REALLY amazing. They are really interactive and want to bring their coping to another level. You will make a great addition ;)
I always love conference...it's the highlight of my summer:) I've been crazy busy since i got home but it's fun! I am having lunch with your twin on thursday! I'm super pumped. Have a fun forth!
Hey! Thanks for the nice words! I didn't attend the conference this year, but I am going to go next year, hopefully! Sounds like you enjoyed it -- can't wait to go. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
I've had alopecia for about 30 years. Wrote a book about it called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" That's my philosophy! To find out more about the book, check my page...
Hugs!
Thanks for asking -- I'm doing great! Getting a lot of publicity for my book. Also trying to do some painting! How are you doing? If you get a chance to read the book, let me know how you like it, okay? I'd love to know!
Hugs!
Hey, Melissa. You crossed my mind today, so I thought I'd open your Alopecia World profile and leave a comment. :-) As always, I hope things are well in your life and relationships and that you're getting at least some rest. Today I was reflecting on my experience at this year's NAAF conference and thought to myself that it will be a great day, indeed, when your schedule will permit you to share more of your heart and wisdom with Alopecia World. I'll continue to be patient, of course, because I learned long ago that go things come to those who wait. :-)
Melissa, you are an amazing person with an amazing set of commitments. Alopecia World certainly can wait because it's my heart's desire that you achieve great and good success in all that you are doing. Please keep me abreast of your achievements.
Hey, Melissa. I haven't had much of an opportunity to send greetings and messages via Alopecia World lately, so today I'm taking time to do so. I'm sure you're keeping busy. I hope you're doing well, too, despite the state of the economy at the moment. Keep in touch. :-)
