About Me:
I was diagnosed with severe androgenic alopecia towards the end of my senior year of high school (2005), which at the time was a pretty major blow. I've mostly come to terms with the idea of being bald before I hit 30 and have been looking into a proper solution for when that time comes. Luckily, I have an amazing significant other who I can be totally open with about all the anxiety and daily hair rituals that come with being a balding girl.

My current treatment is just 2% Rogaine in the morning and 5% at night. In the past Finasteride was a part of the mix and I think I actually had pretty good results-- at the very least it was slowing down the hair loss. Now that I'm just on the Rogaine, things are going down hill... slowly but I don't really want to go back on the Finasteride because of some of the more serious side effects it carries.

Other than fretting over my hair, I enjoy playing my guitar, bass, and drum kit. I'm also a major geek and love to screw around with computers, computer games, and Linux distros. I'm currently going to school and majoring in Telecommunications Administration with an emphasis in Linux Admin.

Hello Natalie. I was just browsing the site and came upon your profile. I see you're the same age as me, with the same problem. Just thought I stop in and let you know that you are not alone. Hope all is well. Sincerely, Jessica.

Hello and welcome, Natalie!
I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. Check it out on my page -- and let me know how else I can help.

It's frustrating, isn't it? I also have a guy in my life who is totallycool about everyhing -- at least he never lets on to me that he's not. People love us for a lot more than our hair!
