My name is Carrie. We live in Berea Kentucky. I have three sons, my youngest son Nicky is almost 10 years old, he was diagnosed with Alopecia when he was about 1 year old.
I just want to say that your story is inspirational. I began to loose my hair to Alopecia about 3 years ago and have been forced to shave the rest of it all off ever since. when I first lost it I went looking on the Alopecia world web sight berore becoming a member and happened to come accross the story about nicky which I found to be quite touching. I thought Nicky and your family handled this very maturely. At the time it helped me to realize that it must be a harder thing to go through as a kid than as a grown man. I am now happy to go around with a completely bald head and have come to really like it. I dont think there has ever been a more fashionable time to have a bald head if you are a guy anyway. My name is Richard Tuck and I come from a very sunny part of New Zealand so I have to remember to put on pleanty of sun block. Hopeing that nicky is doing really well I wish you all the best
Tracy and Amanda
How are you and Nicky? My daughter Amanda also has AA. I hope to chat with you soon.
