I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata three years ago as a senior in highschool and I went completely bald in a month. Since then my hair had grown back almost entirely, except for three spots around my ears and neck. About four months ago everything happened all over again and I'm back to square one. Now I'm just searching for others like me that will understand.
i saw your blog on how does everyone stay so proud. this is the first time i lost all my hair, and i do get every upset but i dont let others see me like that. i just let it all out so it can pass and that i dont have this thing inside me holding back. i am scared shit-less for when school starts, because i lost everything this summer and the only people that have seen me are my family and closet friends
what is helping me is that i went to a support meeting with others who have universalis like i do. seeing them, how pretty they are without hair, and how confident they are, made me realize that its not just me and that i do look pretty without hair. meeting others changed me, i saw alopecia like the worst thing in the world and now i just view it as if its an accessory like jewelry, some people have gorgeous jewelry, some people have really ugly jewelry and some people don't have any at all. and when i wanna fit in and wear my jewelry i go to my room and put it on.
wow! when my hair first fell out it fell out on the sides and the second time it fell out it fell out around my front hair line and the third time it fell out it fell out under neith my hair about two inches was gone it was really bad all you have to do is read my story and find out the rest!

I actually got it from www.rpgshow.com. It was a custom wig. Full lace wig. Real Indian Remy hair. It only took a month for them to customize it for me. My only complaint it the hair is a bit scratchy and can be uncomfortable to wear at times. When i wore my short wig to work nobody noticed it was a wig.. Everybody just thought I colored my hair.. When I told some people it was a wig they did not beleive me..
I read your profile and it seams were a lot a like.. It's frustrating loosing your hair, especially to come back than fall out again.. Mine has done this like three times.. I am like stop it.. If my hair is going to fall out just stay out.. Don't keep coming back and than falling out. It's so hard to deal with no matter how many times you go through it. grrrr. It does not make it any easier to loose your hair when you get older either. At least for me anyway.
