Profile Information:

Relationship Status:: Single
About Me:: I am separated with two college age children and work in a hospital.
I first noticed Alopecia Areata 4 years ago which started with loonie size patches mostly on the left side of my head. Since then I have gone on to develop 2 more autoimmune diseases. I am still getting used to this new me and have had regrowth and lost it again. I am in the process of losing my eyebrows now and some new patches appeared recently.
I am happy that I have found this site as it is reassuring at times to know that what I am experiencing (the feeling of a burning scalp etc) is part of this condition.
Thanks

I am not sure myself. I saw it listed on the Bald Ladies Do Lunch website and decided to go, as I live 10 min. from Philly. Now that I look closer, it seems geared toward children. It does have some make-up workshops (which interests me). Will let you all know tonight what happens!

Unfortunately, I was only able to go to the Alpocia Palooza on Friday afternoon. I saw only one vendor - Debbie from Fuller Hair. Even Debbie seemed surprised to see me, an adult, at this event for children. The make-up events were scheduled for Saturday and due to a previous committment, I was unable to go. Has anything such as this ever been established for those with alopecia in general?
