About Me:
In this order... I AM ... the QUEEN of EVERYTHING (in my own world), a mother, wife, friend, student, writer, nature lover (esp. hot springs and green), chef and eater, addicted to tattoos and dyslexic.
When I was 22 my hair on my head began to fall out in patches as if it were areata. It was long and so when the vacuum broke the third time (due to it's wrapping around the gears) I buzzed it. My children used to say to my that my head looked like the earth - LOVE THEM!!
Then I started to notice when I shaved my legs that there were really only sections that needed to be shaved. And before I knew it my eyebrows and lashes disappeared. Of all the things I miss the most however I would have to say ear and nose hairs, even though I get cold so easily.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia universalis
Are you age 18 or older?

    Hey Carmella
    I think the blog was removed anyways - don't worry about it! I just really don't like those fetish people (especially when your profile already mentions that you're married)! How have you been anyways? Hope your having a great weekend though! :)
  • Charlie Sunshine

  • Georgie

    OY! Squaric Acid = BAD STUFF. I do not think I want to do it again. We'll see tomorrow what the Derm. says. The itchiness reminds me daily of my situation. I never thought so much about my condition before...Now it's flaky and it's annoying to have it snowing on my shoulders. But, hair is growing.
  • suzie

    you got some straight up brilliant pictures! Your glasses are sweet i had some that looked almost the same but the frame was white instead of blue!
  • Anna

    thanks ! :)
  • Heather

    Well thank you for the congrats. Congratulations to you also on completing your first year of nursing. I am going into mental health nursing. I love it. :) Thank you for stopping by and good luck in your schooling!
  • Heather

    Good for you! People either love or hate mental health nursing. I currently work at the hospital in the substance abuse rehab program. You use a lot of mental health nursing there...although I am not a nurse there. But I love it. You will find out what field you like the best and when you do it will make everything fall in to place. Having the psychology background is only going to help you wherever it is you go!

  • Melissa Harris

    Car,
    Anytime! You are beautiful! Love all your pictures, especially the one with the cigar! You ever want to vent, talk, anything, I'm here to listen. Sometimes we just need to vent and get it out of our system! I might have to do some venting on these blogs someday soon too and I hope that we can all be here for eachother! How are you doing now? Better I hope! Take care and be in touch!
  • theantichick (Shannon's Mom)

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm new to all of this (11yo daughter has developed AA) so I'm trying to learn what I can about it.
  • rj, Co-founder

    Hi, Carmella. Cheryl and I are browsing Alopecia World this evening and reminiscing. We just wanted to stop by and not only say hello to you, but also see how you're doing. Touch base with us soon, if you don't mind. We certainly wish you the best this life has to offer. Keep your head up, Carmella. :-)
  • Jenn

    bless your heart you do seem highly evolved! i wish that i could always have the strength that you do. i seem to come and go and have alot of mood swings. today i love myself and wouldn't change a thing. yesterday i wanted to have myself committed. read my latest blog on a new tattoo ( i love them) because i want one to signify the alopecia and the battle i am going through and i just know you would have some really great ideas. i wish there was a universal symbol like with other things, but we will just have to figure one out for ourselves.

    Hey
    I saw your post and I am in a nursing program too and find it incredibly difficult. I go to a JC in California. Where do you go. When do you graduate?
    Jennifer
  • Jennifer

    I am almost finished, I graduate in Dec of this yr. I actually know OHSU it is supposed to be a great school. I was considering applying there because I love Portland a lot. I wanted to be a nurse because of my experiences with AU, is that part of your reason for being a nurse?
    Jenn
  • Becky.

    i hate school lol. so much drama & lies & rumours. arggg!!
