About Me:
Hi, I'm Amy. I'm 40 years old and live in Worcester, MA with my husband JJ and our two little boys (ages 5 & 3). Although I've dealt with small bald spots since the age of 16, that would quickly grow back, I was officially diagnosed with AA from a biopsy in January 08. Within two months of that I'd pretty much lost it all. I'm here to find support from others who understand. I would also love to get some folks in the New England area interested in some BGDL events (as Thea says...we are all hiding in plain site :-). I attended a BGDL event in CT that was truly a life changing experience for me...I even had the guts to finally shave off those final strands of hair that I was desperately holding on to. It was nice to finally feel empowered again. I look forward to meeting more people on this site and sharing our journeys together.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes
Just wanted to share an article I did regarding my Alopecia (also in support of BGDL coming to my city) for a local Worcester, MA publication:

Hi Amy,
Sorry to get back to you so late. We had a great time in philly at Alopeciapalooza. Ella loves getting together with her friends and making new ones. I hope everything is well with you. Are you going to the BGDL/CAP event in Boston next month? We'll definitely be there, and it would be great to see you again!
Hugs, Justine

Hi Amy, nice to hear from you. I am beat from spending the day in Hampton, but it was worth it. I am taking Samantha to the BGDL in Sept. Are you going? Please feel free to email if you have any questions about the squaric acid. It took Samantha about 5-6 months before we saw the fuzz and then 2 before color. Be patient and I bet it will work. Sam is wig free and wants a hair cut before school. We may trim it up in a few weeks. I call her my nurse Jackie. Sam has had some rashes on her body that have tolerable and with steriod cream have cleared right up. She gets them periodically. It has been a whole year since regrowth and she has a few small nail size spots that are covered by her hair. She is doing the .01% Stay positive! Cindy

Hi Amy,
How's things my friend? I wanted to let you know that we are planning an "Alopecia beauty day" at a boutique in Chelmsford on June 7th as our first official awareness event for our newly incorporated non-profit Alopecia company. They are opening the boutique just for us and we can try on clothes, take lots of pics, and just have fun together. I got at least 40 dress up costumes for the kids. They will look so adorable. We are going to do a buffet brunch at the hotel nearby first and then go to the boutique. I hope you can make it, we had so much fun at the last one!!! I know it will be great!!! Miss you much. Say hi to the family. Please let me know so we can do a head count for the restaurant reservations.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty

Hi Amy,
The pleasure was all mine. I enjoyed meeting you and your family and am always happy if I can in any way help someone cope with this crazy condition. And I will be happy to go with you if and when you decide to get a tattoo on your beautiful head! You are a beautiful lady with a beautiful family and I am happy to know you and look forward to seeing you again. I am hoping that we can put together a real bash in the spring!

I have just joined this site at Dottie's urging and haven't figured out how to post pics and things here, but I will figure it out soon.

Be well.

Peace
Joyce

Hey Amy,
It was great to meet you too. I appreciate your compliments about Ella, but it really is easy to accept her the way she is since she's almost always been like that. It's you that I can't stop thinking about. I would never have known you were bald under that wig! You are beautiful and your personality shines. It's great to meet other people that embrace the fact that it's just hair, and to be glad it's nothing life threatening. I hope you attend the meetings in the future, because I think some of the older kids need to have someone like you to look up to.
Can't wait to meet again,
Justine

Hi Amy,
You gotta check out the pics from Saturday. They're awesome. DJ keeps talking about his new best friend. Jack is the older one right? There is an awesome pic of them hugging. I'm so glad you came. I had a wonderful time and I can't wait until the next one.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
