About Me:
I am a graduate student working on my master's and credential in school psychology. I am a swimmer, a cyclist, a runner. I am a triathlete. I am always active and always looking for the next adventure.

I have had Alopecia Areata since I was 6 monhs old. I did not have eyebrows or eyelashes until I was 7. I did not have to worry about shaving until the end of high school. I continually have patches of peachfuzz on my head that I shave off. I've gotten to the point where I do not want the hair to grow back...it is just easier this way. I am who I am...

    hi mary,

    I think i pretty much share your outlook on the hair or no hair theme! I always wear a wig or scarf when I go out but tend to be bald around the house, I have a 9 month old nephew and i often wonders if he thinks he's got 3 aunty jo's!!!

    Hi Mary,

    I'm Mary, too - I live in San Diego. I wanted to let you know about the Bald Girls Do Lunch events in Irvine and San Diego in January. Do you live anywhere near either or those places? I just posted some info on the California group page. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be at the San Diego event - attending one last January was a major help to me.

    I'd love to meet another woman who feels the way I do about going bald. Have you seen my YouTube video "Alternatives to Wearing a Wig"?

    Best,
    Mary
