About Me:
Hi,
My name is Shawn. I was recently diagnosed with Alopecia. My case started this past November. I noticed a small coin shaped spot on my beard. Initially I was concerned but didn't think too much about it. I made an appointment with a derma, was diagnosed, then within a week I lost 60% percent of the hair on my head, all with the same coin shaped spots. It's been a couple months and I've shaved my head, though much of the hair is already gone. I just started a new treatment today and am hopeful with the new information I have. Sometimes it bums me out but I am so grateful that I am healthy and see myself as being more fortunate than many others. Don't get me wrong, I get insecure but I always eventually realize that it's not the Alopecia that will hold me back it's the negative thinking.
Best to all.

    Trapeze is definitely a great workout! I just discovered it about a month ago and I'm loving it. I've been under waaaay too much stress (obviously) and it's been a great way for me to just let everything go and have fun. After just 5 classes over the last month, I feel like I'm in better shape than I have been in years. Good stuff! :)
