About Me:: Hi, I'm Amy. I'm 40 years old and live in Worcester, MA with my husband JJ and our two little boys (ages 5 & 3). Although I've dealt with small bald spots since the age of 16, that would quickly grow back, I was officially diagnosed with AA from a biopsy in January 08. Within two months of that I'd pretty much lost it all. I'm here to find support from others who understand. I would also love to get some folks in the New England area interested in some BGDL events (as Thea says...we are all hiding in plain site :-). I attended a BGDL event in CT that was truly a life changing experience for me...I even had the guts to finally shave off those final strands of hair that I was desperately holding on to. It was nice to finally feel empowered again. I look forward to meeting more people on this site and sharing our journeys together.
