I am from Ireland and I have had AA for about three or so years. I am 27, living in Phoenix Arizona for about a year and a half now - working at ASU. I have never lost my hair completely and have only had regrowth with treatments. Currently I have lost between 30-40% of my hair maybe less. I can still cover it up pretty well - unless it is windy ;). I have just uploaded some pictures of my bald areas (not really patches!!!).
I spend most of my free time mountain/road biking, swimming, and running - I also enjoy kayaking!!!
I can't say that having AA has affected me alot - lately it is bogging me down because it is getting more difficult to cover up and I feel the impeding doom of total hair loss!! ;) I will need to go wig shopping soon.
Anyway this site is really cool! it is very comforting to know that we are a big group. I have never met anyone with AA before!!!
Sorry that I did not get back to you sooner. Had some computer problems for a few weeks that resulted in my not being able to regularly access my e-mail accounts. Today I finally got them resolved permanently, I hope. Appreciate your June invite to Phoenix, however, Saturdays I have a volunteer commitment that keeps me in Tucson for the day. It's good to be in touch with others.................
Hi Ev, there is a Brunch on Saturday the 26th of June at 10am in Tempe, would love to meet you and share my experiences with Alopecia. I have had AA AT and now AU since I was 3 years old, so a lifetime of dealing with it.
