About 9 years ago when I was going through my menopause, hair started falling out and I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. Gradually over the years it has got worse and now I have no eyelashes or eyebrows (although I get them tatooed every 18 months). I have hardly any hair on my body. Unfortunately about 5 years ago I became divorced from my husband then of 33 years.
I started dancing and met a wonderful man. whom I now live with
Kind Regards Sharon

Thanks for asking! It's Leslie Ann. I'm doing fine! There's a buncha info about me on my page -- basically I have had AU for about 25 years. Wrote a book three years ago since I have been through so much and added my crazy humor! I hope you get a job soon. Unless you don't want one!
Hugs!
Hi Sharon, I'm from Melbourne too. I was just wondering how long did it take between when you started losing your hair to when all your hair was gone? I have Alopecia Areata now but it is steadily becoming worse and worse... Also, its good to hear you have found a new man who obviously understands and loves you for who you are!
