I have had Alopecia for about 10 months now, since like February. It's been quite a struggle not only for me, but my family, friends, and community as well. It's proven that I'm not the only one effected by this.
I don't have eyebrows, I basically have no hair, and am in the process of losing my eyelashes again and arm hair. I am pretty much always losing or regrowing my hair, and it's really tough because it's so unpredictable. I'm getting through it day by day, though. Things are getting easier for me. I am finally at that point where I care what people think about me being bald, but my life doesn't revolve around it.
I want to raise awareness for Alopecia especially in my community because no one here has a clue. This disease isn't rare, but so many people don't even know what it is. I can honestly say that this disease has benefited me and if I could take it back, I WOULDN'T because it's presented me with the opportunity to meet great people, determine my true friends, realize my family, and see life from a new perspective. It's not so bad after all, but who doesn't have their bad days???
