People say..."Kevin...if there were two of u....i couldn't handle it"...i say..."if there were two of me...well...double the fun"!!!
Im 22 finishing my BA in International Business with finance as a major. I was diagnosed with AA when i was 17, experienced full regrowth the following year, and began to shed it again when i was about 20 and still have it now. I have had hard times both in boarding school, uni, and at work...few have asked questions like...why do u always wear a hat? (because its hot) or why do u always shave ur head? (i hate combing)...only admitted to close friends that i have AA...I mean i have the patchy hair loss...so when people see it...i get all kinds of comments and expressions...Anyways i hope through this website to gain courage and stare back at those people that point....but more importantly...courage to accept change and strength to go on!
"Well Mr. Arnold...u have a auto immune deficiency known as Alopecia Areata"
"hmmmmm"
"they say the chances of getting it are 1 in 100"
"Dam...im that special..ha"
"The good news is...its not life threatening...but their is no cure"
"So..."
"Yes...things will be different from here on"
