About Me:
I developed aloepecia areata when I was 10 years old. Since then, I've had 4 episodes of Areata that has always been related to stress. This last episode began 3 years ago when I decided to change jobs and return to graduate school to become a CRNA. This triggered the full blown Alopecia Universalis. I had no idea that I could lose all of my hair. I've done all of the conventional treatments and am now on the waitlist for experimental treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. I am make the best of my situation and trying to stay positive.

    Bless your heart for pursuing this career. I've only been hospitalized once in my life. Luckily it was at Hoag in Newport Beach, CA. The nursing staff was PHENOMENAL. From start to finish. I saw my doc maybe once per day, but the nursing staff was there for me when I was scared to death and pressing that painkiller medicine button. Bwahahahaa. I think I may have worn that thing out. :) I'm thankful every day for nurses and firefighters!!

    Marianne-
    I think it's the G.I. floor...something like that. I'll have to check with her on that again.
    We were at the fireworks but didn't get to the festival. It's the first time we've missed it in years...oh, well... next year!
