Have had alopecia for almost 10 years.
I don't really wear a wig, as I don't think I need to in order to fit in with anyone else.
Studying Rescue and Emergency Management Foundation Degree
I also love sports - mostly rowing, kayaking, sailing
I'm the only one in my family to have this condition, but it makes me who I am.
Don't suppose you would like to come wwith me to B'ham tomorrow afternoon to their coffee afternoon. I'm passing your door and could collect you on route? (tuesday 4th Aug)

Hi, I’m trying to arrange a get together this coming Saturday 23rd May. Can you meet up? When I find out who can make it I’ll arrange a mid way meeting place. I’m from Exeter – please let me know which town you coming from. I can’t wait to (at long last) meet others in the flesh who have alopecia. Margaret xx
Hi Louise, I think you are very brave. I first noticed bald patches at the age of 17. It went from there. At college I wore a scarf on windy day. At 25 it all fell out when I had my first child. Then I wore a wig. That was 27 years ago - no one had heard or seen any bald women then so I never thought I could possible go out bald - but when I matured at 40 I did (although I had some hair them but never very good and always patches. Then 2 years ago it all went everywhere. I am actually happier with none that bits of hair. Well done to you. I wish I had done so years ago.
I live in Exeter, Devon. Where are you?
