    Hello and welcome, Sharon!
    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!

    Hey Sharon,
    I lost all of my hair starting in January as well. I am now losing all hair everywhere. I have never had alopecia in my life. I think it does get better. I think each day we need to make a concious effort to not let alopecia slow us down. I know for me, I went through hell and I'm back!!! Yeah, this sucks but I'm grateful for so much else in life, I still consider the cup half full, as much as possible. There are crappy days, but life goes on. You will feel fabulous again...you look fantastic!!! Cheers and smile for you.

    My friends and family tried really hard too to be supportive but no, they cannot know what it's like. That's why this site is so great. This type of stuff wasn't around when I started losing my hair. Thanks for the friend add. Let's do keep in touch.

    Hi Sharon,
    I enjoy reading Nora Roberts, Charlaine Harris and Heather Graham. Amanda is starting to lose more hair at the top of her head just this past week. I have an appt for the derm next week. Hopefully he can recommend something. She has a very positive attitude about everything which I am grateful for.

    Hi Sharon. Nice to hear from you. I lived in Norwich for a year, 1989-09, and have fond memories of that time.

    This is a journey, like anything in life. A day at a time is the only way to do it. I'm in such a different place about this than I was just a year ago.

    Stay in touch with us...this AW community has been such a wonderful support and resource.
