About Me:
I have had alopecia for about 20 years. I was in my early 20's when my hair started falling out. I started wearing a wig almost immediately. I just felt more comfortable that way.

I believe I have accepted my hair loss and after 20 years you'd think I would have, but not a day goes by that I don't think about it or wish I had hair, but I have moved on and don't dwell on it.

I am married and have 2 beautiful kids that are my life and it's because of them that I am now starting to get out there and do the things that I thought I couldn't do because I have AA.

There weren't any support groups around 20 years ago (at least none that I knew of). That's part of the reason why I joined to be able to help other people out there with their questions.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia totalis
Are you age 18 or older?

Hey Marla,
couple of questions for you. In regards to coverage for wigs do you have anything? I have blue cross and they cover up to $1000 in a lifetime...wondering if there is anything better? Also, wondering if you have a synthetic or real hair wig. I'm hoping to get real hair but not yet sure. Hope you are having a good day.

Hey Marla,
Thanks for the message. I went to Giselles a couple weeks ago and yes she is fabulous. My first hair trial was at the Bay...not so good. I'll be going back to talk to her again. Giselle had suggested a "topper" but since the visit 2 weeks ago my AA seems to have gotten alot worse and I'm wondering if a full wig would be more appropriate.. I hope your staying high and dry. I'm amazed at the number of people in Wpg that I'm hearing have alopecia...I've never heard of it until this year. Thanks again
