About Me:
Im 28 single mom who was just diagnosed with alopecia. Im not taking it very well, but Im trying to cope. A year after I found my first patch and I shaved my head Im still trying to deal with everything.

I've been making the best of things. I have a Mohawk (sort of) and the friends that know about my alopecia are very supportive.I still dont go out very much without a wig or a hat it was pretty positive the few times that I was bald in public and I posted a few pictures of me without a wig on my Facebook Im getting a little more comfortable with myself. Im still a work in progress.

    Hello and welcome, Trixie!
    I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" You can find out more on my page -- and it's available on this site under "Bookshelf." Let me know if there's anything else I can do!

    Hi, Trixie. Welcome to our sanctuary :-), it's been so long since I've been here, I almost feel like a newbie, but that will change now that I have my life back from the city's kids, whew!

    Anyway, I can tell you're comfortable here, as I've read a little of this page, it's good you're comfortable enough to talk to us. I hope to see you on the pages around here, be kind to yourself, Clayton

    Hi Trixie, thanks for us becoming friends. Alopecia is something that all of us have to cope with in our own way. I've had it for decades but not until I went to a support group did I start getting re-involved and it has helped me to understand and acknowlege people with Alopecia. It's made me start a motivational talk for Alopecians to come together. In Ohio they should have support groups too.
