I have had Alopecia for over 30 years. Mine began as Areata and eventually turned into Totalis (slowly becoming Unversalis). I am a RN in a local hospital ER. I spent 24 years in the military, served in Desert Storm. I knit, crochet, read and doodle some. I'm overall a happy, optimistic person that has learn to love myself with or without hair. It's always nice to find others like you.
Do you have alopecia? (Choose appropriately)
Alopecia totalis
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes

Hi Marie,
Thanx for stopping by my page and thinking of me. I appreciate just knowing that I have been an inspiration to somebody. I hope all is well with you and your family. Stop by anytime and by all means, show off my head!!!! I love hearing that. Joyce is my friend and we just started a non-profit corporation for awareness and support of Alopecia with our other friend Lori whose daughter has AU. I think it's gonna be great and we'll be famous someday so watch for us. "New England Alopecians Unite, Inc." Keep in touch.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
Thanks for the resources. I will have to post pics of my projects. Today my 7 year old son asked me if I would teach him to knit. He said he wants to learn over the holiday break. How fun is that???
I love knitters! I taught myself about 2 years ago and just tonight finished a beautiful shawl (it is getting cold here it Utah) from sock yarn. Any great knit tips or resources would be appreciated. ;)

hEY!!! I noticed you do not live to far from Nashville and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am hosting a Links for Locks tournament here in the Nashville Area Friday Sept 19th and would love if you could make it!!! There are some people coming up from GA and down from KY !!! Would be awesome if you could come. It starts at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like some info. I am in need of golfers and maybe a few more sponsors ... if you have any connections or know of anyone who would like to play please let me know :) thanks
Marie,
Seems like we have alot in common. I too like to crochet, (although I haven't in a few years due to nerve pain in my arm and neck), I have a black kitty that rules our house. I grew up in the Florida panhandle near Dothan, AL. Where in Al. are you? I bet we can share alot of stories about growing up with alopecia. It was not easy, and even now, I struggle at times with sharing it with others. I wish I could be more like you and go to work without my hair, but I am not there yet, and may never be. I applaud those that do though. Maybe if I looked as good as you do with or without hair I could. Your pictures are amazing. I hope we can chat sometime. Christine
Hi Knitty, thanks for the add. I didn't realize you were a nurse. I worked in healthcare for many years so I know first hand that nurses are truly angels of mercy. Wow, from the military to the ER!

Hi KittyCat.
I've been away for a long time so I'm sending a 'hello, I'm back' to all the people on my friends list.
God bless,
