I have had alopecia since i was 8,at one time i was trying to become a wig model. I wanted to become a wig model to motivate young women with alopecia.But lately I have been thinking about going to school for cosmotology. I want to be able to give people the support or help that I needed. Especially, when i was trying to find a way to make me feel complete. I'm currently in school taking up pre-med praying to become a dermatologist. Me growing up with alopecia has made me want to help people with alopecia. Mainly children, kids can be sooo mean if they dont know why this little girl is wearing a wig or why this little boy has no eyebrows. With me accepting the fact I have alopecia, my life has been great. Every body has at least one person they remember that either educated them about this or helped them with the resource. Thats what i want, to be the person that people will remember.

It has been a long time. How are you? I'm doing well. I met a few others with AU that live in my area we've gotten together a couple times now. We're supposed to have a get together @ least once a month. Would you be interested in joining us the next time we have another get together?
Thank you. I live in MD. Well I am going to continue to do it but the place says most insurances pay for full cranial prothesesis so I may be able to get it done for free. I am sure I have to pay for the hair do itself but if I can get the hair for free that would be GREAT. I understand about school between Grad school and my daughter life is crazy. I just have a laid back job.. but dont tell them.
Just came by to check on you. I see u are wearing that wig. Those are the days I love. The confidence is all over your face. Go girl. It is about to be time for me to get me a lace front. I have been making my own wigs for the last 8 years but since I am getting married decided to spend some money for someone else just this once.LOL.. So what is a good place to get an inexpensive lace front from?
