About Me:
I have AA my entire life and up until i was 15 I dealt with the task of trying to cover up my many bald spots with what little hair I had. Finally I shaved my head. So now its 7 years later and I'm more comfortable with myself. I'm in a loving relationship with a person that loves me with or with out hair and has supported me through all my ups and downs with hair loss.
Things about me that have nothing to do with hair. I'm an animal lover, I enjoy spending my day hanging out wiht my dog. I love playing soccer, hiking, camping, pretty much anything outdoorsy. Right now I'm in college and thats proving the biggest challenge so far.

    Hi,Thanks for your words. have you lost spots of hair or have you lost your hair totally? I think that everyone on this community are so surprising brave and strong. Is this just a front that they are using to cope with this?

    Hi Lauren,
    I live in Albuquerque too!! What doctor do you see here?? I went to Dallas to see a specialist because no one here knew anything about alopecia. You can e-mail me too, my e-mail is mjharris27@hotmail.com. I am 37 years old and never experienced this ever until now. I would love to talk to you!!

    Hey Lauren! I'm ok, thanks for asking. Just trying to figure out what is my next move, I guess I'm gonna start wearing hats more but I'm hoping that this will start to slow down and go into remission. This AA is crazy! Anyways, why didn't your wig work out? Did you get it here in Albuquerque? I couldn't find a good place here in New Mexico for wigs at all. I'm curious where you got yours? As your wig not a good one or you just didn't like wearing it?

    what kind of wig was it? Was it a lace front one or just a plain regular one? I'm sorry to hear that they are not comfortable, I was told that there are some that are better than others but they are really expensive too.

    Hey,
    Fair enough about not wearing the wig.I got a hairpiece to try and cover up the back but its really unconfortable aswell so I don't really wear it either.
    It's coming back in a little.
    What else you been up to?
    Love Megan x

    Hey,
    Yeah they really should,considering how long you have to wear them for if you're waiting on regrowth,and even longer if its permanent.
    Emm,nothing much.Spend basically all my time doing homework at the moment.I just got two kittens - they're absoloutely gorgeous.And I went to London to see a show in the Westend.It's my birthday next week so thats why my mum took me to London.
    Love Megan x
