About Me:
I'm continually discovering the beauty of baldness. I've experienced "spotty-balding" since being diagnosed at age 11. Just after turning 24 I lost all of my hair. A humbling experience that has helped me to discover so much about myself and the world around me.

    I FIND MY SELF FEELING ADMIRATION AS I READ YOUR STORY, I WISH I COULD HAVE THE COURAGE YOU DO. I AM EXPERIENCING MY 2ND ALOPECIA OUT BREAK AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM AND I FIND MYSELF FALLING APART ALL THE TIME OF JUST THE THOUGHT OF BEING BALD WHICH IS WERID I NOW ITS JUST HAIR AND IT DOENST DEFINE YOU BUT I AM TRULY SCARED AND FELL SO ALONE RIGHT NOW.. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AND GIVING PEOPLE LIKE ME HOPE THAT I CAN FIND AWAY TO DEAL WITH THIS YET AGAIN. THANKS AND GOD BLESS I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH THIS HORRIBLE DIORDER :)
  • Christina Bostwick

    thank you. i hope that you have a great weekend to ..hey i have a question i was diagnoised when i was 16 with one really big patch on the crown of my head..and now at 26 i have another atch is it possible to go from just haveing AA to having AT or Au?i agree i think the hardest thing about this disorder is all the uncertainty of it its like playing a gussing game only just when you think your going to win bam you loss again.so if you dont mind my asking how many times did you have spots b4 you lost all your hair i find my self worring all the time and since noone i know or anyone in my family has this noone knows what i am going thru..you know and when i ask questions with my doctor i always get the same uneasy answers well i am not sure whats going to happen we have to wait and see ...like we have a choice right (is what i am thinking..lol). well either way i am glad you took time to share your story with me and i wish you all the best in coping with this crazy disorder...lord knows i am trying too..lol. well thanks again and have a awesome weekend! :)
  • Christina Bostwick

    thanks for answering that for me...i know it was personal. i am finding comfort in knowing i am not alone but i have to admit i am not coping well at all...which is weird for me i am usually the strong one that holds everything together in the family and this has hit me soooo hard but last year wasnt that great for me i had alot of bad things happen and i think this was just the breaking point for me..i know i am such the drama queen as my mom would say..lol. well yeah would luv to chat some time ..that would be cool.thanks again for helping me understand this condition better it gives me more peace of mind than you know!!! also i want to say i think you are a very strong individual for coping as well as you are and i hope one day to be able to cope and accept this as you have ..you go girl! you rock!..:)
  • Christina Bostwick
