About Me:
I developed aloepecia areata when I was 10 years old. Since then, I've had 4 episodes of Areata that has always been related to stress. This last episode began 3 years ago when I decided to change jobs and return to graduate school to become a CRNA. This triggered the full blown Alopecia Universalis. I had no idea that I could lose all of my hair. I've done all of the conventional treatments and am now on the waitlist for experimental treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. I am make the best of my situation and trying to stay positive.

    Marianne,

    Sounds like you have an excellent attitude. Congrats on going back to school. It will be worth it.

    I have had universalis since age 10. I have worn a vacuum piece for over 20 years and I still love it. I went down a water slide at King's Island a couple of years ago. I made my husband go down first in case my hair fell off when I hit the water. IT DID NOT!!!

    I will be in Ohio next month.

    Let me know if you need anything.

    Alyce
