Hello. I'm Carmen. I have lived with Alopecia since I was 3 years old. It's had it's ups and some very down, downs but I have survived. I can honestly say that I am no longer just a survivor of this condition. I have felt God work through me in transformation. I have to talk to and met so many people who have Alopecia or who have experienced hair loss. Though I don't wish it on others, there is deffinately healing in knowing others like myself.
Hi Carmen--
Thanks for saying Hello! I'd love to meet you. I know 4 other alopecians in south central Indiana & we've gotten together once so far. We're due for another get-together soon so let's see if we can coordinate schedules. All the best....Mary Beth
Oh ok well if you ever wanted to meet somewhere just let me know! Only thing is I'm so busy lately! Attending school full time and working whenever I'm not in school basically. But I'm sure we could find time sometime or another. And the short wig you see in my pic now is Jon Renau (I dunno if I spelled that right). The long one I have is Raquel Welch. ;o)
Hi Carmen, 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 and we look forward to your input. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi.. thank you for taking the time to comment on alyssa.. it means a lot to me.. i always thought she was alone out there and I see that she is not.. have a great week.. :o)
hi there i am like u never wear my wig in the house and keep it very private if some rude person asks i tell them it is a wig or im rude back lol i have 2 boys and they understand it is very uncomfortable to wear my wig all the time so we compromise they dont ask 2 often and when they do ask to have friends sleep over i say yes my boys are 15 and 21 and they adapt to the fact they jus cant walk in the house with friends they have to check im dressed which is what they shout out im not embarrassed that i wear a wig and my kids are not either although when they were really young they hated me to change colour and style but now they are fine there is nothing wrong with your children have n to compromise a bit they will not feel difrent from other kids they will just know these are the rules of your house
Hi Carmen,
I'm back after a computer crash--lost everything including all my alopecia contacts. I'm trying to re-create my contacts & get back in touch. Are you meeting other alopecians? I'm ready to look for new options--wigs, hats, scarves. Do you have any recommendations in Indianapolis? Thanks for any leads, I hope you're well....Mary Beth
Hiya C! Great to be pals.... glad to know I can make you smile! Always wondered why you wrote in txt spk. You're just a techo wizz, aincha?? Later, Tater!

Hello, Carmen, it is Melanie, a Hoosier in Germany. Hope you are having a great day. I think this sight is wonderful because when I am feeling insecure I can see that there are so many great people who think, feel, and look exactly like me. When I get back to the States I would love to get together. I have Univeralis too and only have hair on my left big toe (how lucky is that?). Hope to talk soon. Melanie
L O, CD! How's you? Saw your posts giving out top advice... you're pretty cool, aincha? :)
Was wondering, though - with initials like that, do you have a sister called DVD? :) ...only kidding... you take care!!

Me? Sarcastic?? Never... :) ... although, it has to be said, I'm a Born-Again Cynic. Fancy joining my church? You only have to bring a bottle and be prepared to slag off authority in all its forms! :)
But thanks for the words. You're right in what you said too, but sometimes I can't help thinking that whatever gets posted on here in that vein is a bit like one of those political rallies... preaching to the perverted, sorry, CONverted! xxx
Hi Carmen, Thank you for the invite and arranging the meeting! It was great meeting you, your daughter and the other ladies! Are any of them here on Alopecia World? Also I would be interested in a Indy t-shirt or 2 even though I didn't go, if there are any for sale!!!

You could try a soft hat to sleep in when your daughter has friends over.
