About Me:
I'm 25 and I work as a drugs counsellor in criminal justice. So I spend all day dealing with other peoples problems as well as my own! I have had alopecia areata since October 2009 and currently have a hair piece. It developed after I went to work in America for 3 months and was very homesick, so the stress of that could have triggered it. Its starting to grow back a bit now, but I know these things take time and can start all over again.

I live with my bf and friends and I like going to the gym, cinema, CSI and Sci-Fi.

    Hi Rachel, you have quite an involved job. Your wig looks sensational. England is kind of my adopted country. I was laid off of my job some 8 yrs. ago and went online asking chatters of what job could I possibly do. Someone from Yorkshire, England mentioned that they clean pubs. With a few suggestions and not too much thought I started my own cleaning service here in NYC in the United States and have had it for 8 yrs. now. I developed alopecia over 30 yrs. ago and just 4 mos. ago went on this site after going to a support group. I was really glad I did. Also started my own group for Alopecians. Welcome to Alopecia World!

    I would love it if you accepted my friend request! I think you are a beautiful woman and the work you do as a drug counselor shows your love for people and helping others. Stay strong and know that you are a good person and no matter what, you are beautiful!

    Sounds like your hair is progressing. how long did it take for you hair to really start coming in? I started loosing mine in March and most of it is growing in pretty good, but I have a large patch along my neckline that is driving me crazy.
