About Me:
I've been living with Alopecia Areata for 13 years, and feel I'm about at my limit...
Always had a few patches, but in the last 2 years it has gotten worse and now I'm wearing clip in hair pieces to help disguise and give my hair more volume.
Still hoping it will stop falling out and grow back, but starting now to think I might be dealing with this forever.
So this is my first step to begin dealing with it, and accept this disease as a part of me.
I truly believe it has given me more strength and courage than I thought I would ever have.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

    Yeah sometimes I do get jealous of other people's hair, especially their eyelashes!

    I'm living in Ascot Vale right now, but only for another month. Hope to stay somewhere around the inner city though. I've lived in quite a few different suburbs of Melbourne over the years. Whereabouts are you?

    Snowboarding is so much fun! That's cool that you're going to learn. I can't help you on where to go in Vic though, because I've only been in Canada! I lived there for over a year. I'm planning to go to New Zealand this winter to get some riding in though, from what I hear the snow is a lot better there than in Oz.
