About Me:
Hi,
I'm Nicole. At the end of 2008 I noticed a few bald spots underneath my hair. The doctor told me it was nothing and to get over it. I saw another doctor 8 months later as i had lost more hair and he believed I had some sort of rash causing hair loss ( but in fact it was my birth mark which had always been concealed by hair).

I finally went to a specialist and have been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. My eyebrows have recently started to fall out and for some reason, I care more about that than my hair. I think because I know I can easily cover my baldness with a wig.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?

    Nicole, I wear a wig every day. I have alopecia universalis and have had it for about 30 years. If you get the book, let me know how you like it!

    Hi Nicole
    Welcome to AW
    So glad that you have joined us here
    If you want to wear a wig- wear one. If it makes you feel better than it is worth it isn't it.

    Thanks for your comment Nicole! Right now I have 2 large spots on the back and one behind my ear which I've just been covering up by wearing a pony tail the past 3 months, it gets annoying. My hair is long and when it's all grown in I LOVE wearing it down and doing stuff to it. It has been falling out since late September and last year was all grown in during may june july and august. I'm not sure if it will start growing in again soon, usually this time of year it does but if I keep losing more I may have to resort to a wig or try to find some partials. I don't want to shave it since there is still so much hair. None of my friends know, and I've kept it hidden very well, that's how much hair is left. How are you doing lately?

    Hi Nicole,
    Thanks for the add..
    I was so encouraged by your posts. My hair is falling out the same way, I am glad to know someone else is going through something similar (not that I am happy you are..you know what I mean though). I wish my hair would just make up its mind. Fall out or grow back. Hope to hear from you soon.
