Hi Stacey! Welcome. I am sure you will find alot of encouragement for you as well as your daughter as she grows up with this disease. It is great source of support for those who experience the same things daily.

Hi Stacey
I grew up with alopecia since I was only one year old. This site is a wonderful resource and is full of support, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Welcome! :)

Welcome.

Hi Stacey, My mom was born in Truro, her maiden name is Paris. I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder

Hi Stacey nice to meet you, ya it gets fustrating and sad at times, but we have to stay strong and posetive for her sakes.Funny shes seems not to be botherd by it as much as I am and hopefully if hair doesn't return I do my part to make her be strong and confident to deal with it. I see some older girls on here who look vibrit and full of life. I've learned so much through this site and other websites that not to expect much but anything can happen, we made an appointment to see a specialists at sick kids here in Toronto who has done studies on alopecia just to hear more and maybe if find out anything we haven't already heard.My daughter's only 6 so any kind of steroid or heavy meds is out of the question but will be interesting to hear what she has to say. Well thanks for connecting ,oh shes hasn't had any eye problems yet but like your husband I've got all the things that can happen covered ,spent many nights on here researching all there is to know about alopecia. Again thanks for sharing and will let you know what the alopecia specialists says, chat again I hope take care stacey,

Hi Stacey,
Thanks for your comment. Yes they do sound a lot alike. Jennifer loves wearing her wig, she doesn't go out without it only on our back yard when she plays with her little brother. We have a new problem now ,he attends kinder at the same primary school and he has been telling his friends that Jennifer wears a wig and we prefer to keep it quiet to avoid teasing. So I have to try and convince a four year old to keep quiet. For him it is normal that Jennifer wears a wig, but he doesn't realize that other people may not understand. I love your quote I have to tell that one to Jennifer she will get a laugh out of that. All the best to you and your beautiful daughter.

Hi Stacey. I was reading your post about your daughter on the childrens board and it made me smile. You daughter shares a very similar attitude to mine. Sam would like her hair back very much, but she has the acceptance to live her life without hair if it is deemed that way. I hope not...Sam developed AA at age 5. She has been wearing a wig since Dec and lost her brows and lashes this year. That was harder I think..Are you doing anything to help her hair regrow or is it coming back on its own? Cindy

We have to be blessed our kids are handling this so well. We can't say that about every child!! Do you find that your daughters eyes are exceptionally itchy with the hair coming in and are the lashes white? We are doing a treatment. Samantha has a layer of hair on about 60-70% of her head and getting thicker. I am seeing her brows starting to pop out, but no lashes yet. They were were the last to go in Feb...Cindy

Thanks Stacey. Olivia is a very beautiful girl and she does remind me of my younger years. I can see she is a very confident girl and she will get through her teenage years as easy as I did! How old she is now if you don't me asking?

Hey ! my daughter (8 years old) also has Alopecia, she has lost most hair on her head and just started losing it on her eyebrows. I find it hard, I think she is dealing just fine. I feel almost selfish for thinking her hair was the most beautiful ever, then she lost it! What do we moms do! lol. Your daughter is just beautiful!!!!

Well my email is tfisherthegreat@hotmail.com You can send me an email there and I will give you my address and I can take yours down and the girls can start writing letters to one another!
