About Me:
I'm trying to live happily with alopecia...I do wear wigs but my goal is to be able to go without and not worry about what others will think or say; however, I have other goals to reach before I can get to that point. I first developed AA in 1989 at 21 years of age and dealt with it on and off until 1992 when it was so bad I had to resort to wigs. After many torturous steroid injections my hair grew back enough to where I was able to cover any spots I might've still had and lose the wigs all together. Fast forward to 1998 when it started all over again. I've been in wigs ever since with no hope of ever having my hair back. My husband and I ride a motorcycle and it's my dream one day to not care what anyone says about a bald head underneath the helmet.
I've been married to my husband since 2002 and he's never minded the fact that I was blessed with so much scalp (ha!), he's been really great actually, always encouraging me to go bald and be proud.
I have lived in Nashville since 1989 but was born and raised in Maryville, TN at the foothills of the Smokey Mountains (aka) God's Country!
