About Me:
Mother of 15 year old son with Alopecia. I have had Alopecia as a young adult for about 1 year. I am anxious for my son as he is having a difficult time with this experience. It started July '08 lost most of his hair by September and then eyelashes eyebrows body hair AU. We live in a world of so much diversity however when it is about the exterior there are double standards. To put much more emphasis on this for me as a parent with a teen dealing with this I am in the process of selling a hair salon and am still working there.

I do not have alopecia
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

    Hi Jean, We are practically neighbors. I live in Orange. Anyway, my daughter has been OK. She just turned 13 and has been wearing wigs almost 2 years. We are in an unusual situation because she goes to a small private school and has been able to adjust to AU without to many social issues. However, she never goes w/out the wig. I'll be glad to talk to you more on a personal level. I think if we are "friends" I can privately give you my email and phone.

    Hi Jean, How are you? I replied to your note to me on the discussion board. Please email if you have any questions. I am happy to share my story. I have pictures posted of various stages of Sam's regrowth. My profile pic is what she currently looks like after a year on a regrowth cycle. Cindy
