Have had alopecia areata since I was 12 - but at the age of 31 found myself completely bald - I am now 40 and a mother of 3, I run the QLD Australia support group - I never wear a wig - bald and bearing it!! here is a photo of me with my middle child - I am lucky I am told I have a good shaped head... I love to chat so please feel free to write to me - I deal with many people with alopecia!
Thanks Angela
Jon may look self assured but in actual fact he is very angry about having AU. He hates it. We deal with it matter of factly and i am trying to get him involved with other AA sufferers. He won't go on this site but he will communicate with other members through Facebook. So I am quietly getting him involved that way.
I wish that he had your attitude Angela. I know that with maturity he will come to accept and get on with his life. We just have to cope with things until then i guess. All the time trying to encourage him to 'get out there' and experience life to the full. That is not easy though.
Gday Angela..mate you have so much courage..i am losing hair and cannot even begin to fathom how I feel it I lose it all. Hairloss has been eating away at me for years, and yet here you are with complete hairloss gettingon with life with never a care..fantastic. I wish they had these sites years ago I might be in a better state of mind today..cheers :-p
