No, I won't be able to make it. I'm taking summer school classes and working this summer to get money for school. I really do wish I could go and meet others with Alopecia and enjoy myself at the same time. Are you going?

Oh cool. I was just afraid I screwed it up somehow. Glad to know it worked. It would be interesting to see the whole results for that survey. there were some good questions on there.

Faheemah

I bet it is. I have never been in interaction with anyone with Alopecia besides for this site so I know the conference will be a great experience. I am planning to attend one next year. Everyone is so happy to go and it has inspired me to take a break next year and experience the conference first hand.

I'm a little confused, you're saying that you've had alopecia since you we're a child yet you had Universalis since you were 10 onwards.
