It's about time...

I have had Alopecia Areata since I was four years old and have done everything I can think of to hide it from others. I would often times style my hair put on so much hair spray to keep in place.. making sure that no one can see my spots. It worked when I was younger but as I got older the spots got bigger and were not growing anything. I got my first wig when I was 15 and it was really hard to except, but once again I did everything I could to ensure my secret was kept. Only family and close… Continue

Is it true?


But we know, of course, that lookism and other forms of appearance-based discrimination is no joke. Therefore, how do you think you can take a stand against the scourge?

Dont laugh at me....

Ok where do I start...Everyone who has children knows what it is like to love them so much it hurts and just to think of some one hurting them can tear your heart out of your chest. That is how I feel for all three of my kids, but my daughter has a special place in my heart, she has the condition called Alopecia Areata Universal. She lives a normal life like every other kid out there, she just doesnt have hair. My worst fear is her being made fun of and how she is going to handle it. Last night… Continue

The secret is out!

I was initially going to keep alopecia a secret from everyone I worked with but it's been slowly seeping out. I was walking home from work one day and it was soooo hot out that halfway home I ripped the wig off. Although I know I shouldn't, I tucked my wig away in my purse on the side of a busy street. Shortly afterwards I ran into a woman I work with and didn't realize she wouldn't recognize me but I said hi anyways and kept walking. About five steps beyond her she turned and out came… Continue

Quick Question

My head has been itchy, basically since all this this began a few weeks ago. Oh man, has it been itchy!! But a few days ago, my head started to feel achy. Its only on the right side of my head. I am missing a big patch on the right side. I was just wondering if this is normal, or if it is something I should go back to the doctor early? I have an appointment on the 16th, to talk about the topical temovate treatment (which is NOT working). Am I okay to wait to go back to see him, or should I go… Continue

That Awkward Inbetween Stage

Hi Everyone,



I hope you all had a nice Labor Day Weekend.



I cant decide what to do with my white fuzzies.

To shave or not to shave. They dont look bad and I actually had someone tell me they thought I did the Platnum Thing. So 1990 something......Was it a backhanded compliment or a Queenie remark? With my friends probably both.



The white/transparent hair is about 40-50% of what used to be on my head with no patches. Since the begining of the year I have… Continue
