Hi! sorry for late reply.. haven't been on this site in a while. Yeah well I suppose it is hard but you have to learn to live with these things. Everyone has something wrong with them or an illness they have to live with... we just have alopecia, nothing too heavy haha. x
hey, how're you? i'm actually so jealous you live in New Zealand, England is not soooo nice.
How are you taking the news of finding out you have alopecia?
I've had it all my life, so i'm 100% used to it, but finding out you have it midway through life after having hair all those years is going to be tough, but you'll be fine :) x
there are having an alopecian meeting in new zealand in Nov Do you want to meet up with them? In your area. If you are interested add a paul jackson on here. Though he is 30 plus.
I often ask the students who start to whisper behind my back (but enough for me to know I am about to be outted on my alopecia) to either discuss or write a paper on what they would feel and do if they suddenly lost a body part due to an incurable disease (and had rude comments made about it from so-called "friends"). Sometimes, midway through the paper, one savvy student will get an "Aha!" look on the face, and figure out that MY lost body part is my hair. You might soften the blow for your FB friends by asking this on your status (without telling what is happening to you yet), and deleting any friends who have moronic answers. Do this before your alopecia gets worse. Those people will NOT be good for you. Keeps the sensitive ones out of the 600.
