About Me:
Well, it was time to change my site around a bit after having been on the site for a while. When I first logged on here I thought I would easily be the person having alopecia the longest. I was a little surprised to find out that there quite a bit of us that have had alopecia for some time.

I first developed alopecia at age 5 maybe 6 years old. I went through all the same issues as everyone else although I will say that we didn't try too hard for a "cure". My grandmother had au since she was a little girl so there was already an understanding that shots and heatlamps and creams were not going to bring my hair back. But we did try everything but the shots. LOL. I won't say that alopecia has controlled my life, but it certainly has had an affect. Some good, some not so good. Since I have had it through pretty much every stage and change of life I can honestly say its been a struggle.

I love to travel and explore new places and new things to do. I have lived all over. I grew up in Chicago but have lived in St. Louis, New York, Japan, San Francisco, Australia and now I back in Chicago.

I love college football. I went to the University of Notre Dame for my masters degree and so I am a fierce and loyal fan. Charlie Weis will succeed!!! And to all of you Big Ten fans out there I send my condolences. USC fans? Just wait.

I am logged on to this site quite a bit these days for several reasons. Mostly to make friends and talk and share experiences about alopecia. I wish there had been a place like this when I was 5 or 12 or 18 or 28 years old. If you are a parent of a child with alopecia talk to some of us that have had it since childhood. Hopefully we can share some thoughts with you.

What exactly does it mean to deal with Alopecia????

Posted on February 8, 2009 at 10:12am 5 Comments

I have to believe this truly a subjective question and everyone's answer would be different. Coming to terms with one's alopecia I am sure is a personal reflection where each of us come to different conclusions of what it is to live with alopecia. Having chatted with different folks here on this site, we have all had such different experiences depending on our age and when we first lost our hair and the degree to which it is gone. And then there is our unique personalities that push through all… Continue

Hmmmm..... LOL.



I have had au since I was 5 years old. At least I think I was 5 years old. Could have been a bit later. I guess 5 years old is the last time I remember having hair. Well, a full head of nice hair anyway. I guess even at that age I was looking for the day when my hair would regrow and wasn't trying to remember the day it started to fall out.



Now I am 42. I grew up with an incredibly supportive and loving family. Working middle class. My parents loved me and… Continue

Hey Frank...I hope things have slowed down at work for you. You need to contact Tony Jordan on here. He'll be coming to our Holiday party on the 29th and bringing another guy with him so you won't be alone anymore! Anyway, he's having a hard time right now and though maybe you could chat with him.

Have a very Merry Christmas and I'll see you on the 29th!
