    Hi Megan, the back of my head was one of the places I had AA, I used to pull my hair in the front over the spot and wear a pony tail at the nape of my neck. Welcome to A-world, if I can help in any way, send me a message!

    Hi Megan.
    Saw your prayer request where you mentioned that you might have to give up a couple of cats because its causing an asthma in your Mum.
    Something that might be of interest to you. My sister has worked in the past as a Vet nurse. One of the vets she worked with would say it is not the cat that causes asthma attacks, but rather, it is the dust that a cat carries. He recommended people with asthma to bath their cats regularly. This would enable asthma sufferers to be able to keep their cats. Your cats are still young so maybe it is possible to get them used to being bathed? Worth a try?
    Mike.

    Hello. I will be coming out on The Doctors show today. I will be asking about childhood Alopecia Areata. Check it out if you can.
  • Moni

    Hello, Megan. I hope and pray that you are feeling stronger and stronger. My daughter goes out w/no hat. She'll put it on for awhile but eventually pulls it off. How are you doing in school? What grade are you in? I read that you are Christian. We are too. Praise God everyday. Even when it's so hard, Megan. I tell God, "Don't let go of me". Write back. I will pray for all of us tonight.

    hey megan
    how r u?

    HI Megan, I am new to this site, but alopecia and I have walked through life together since I was 12. I am now 36. If we can truly accept the way the Lord sees us (on the inside) and accept HIS acceptance and love for us, there is nothing we can't be in Him! Philippians 4:13 says we can do ALL things with Jesus' help! Pray and ask the Lord to just help you to let it go everyday if you have to and let HIM keep it and He will lead you, to this site ( I wish they had sucha thing when I was 16). People will be unable to accept some of us due to the fact that we're "different" and believe me I know how that hurts when you just want to be "like everybody else". As Christians we are "different" than the world anyways, right? God will use this in your life to allow you to bless someone else down the road, Romans 8:28 says He uses it ALL for our good but for HIS glory, you stay encouraged and ask the Lord who you can bless by this, He'll show you how to live the life He has planned for you, alopecia doesn't happen without His notice. Psalm 91 is one of my favorite passages and Isaiah 41:10 was and has been a comfort to me since my husband died and gave him peace thru his illness. The WORD is alive!!
    Because He first loved us,
    Lori
