A Bald Woman's Journey Back to Love

Cheryl Carvery with and without hair I was camping one day in 1991 when a friend asked, “Why do you shave the back of your head and around your ears?”



I had no idea what my friend was talking about. So I found a mirror, looked closely at my head of long, thick hair, and was shocked to discover that large bald spots were developing on the sides and in the back of my head.



Confused and afraid, I consulted a doctor who told me that I was experiencing patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) due to…

I keep meeting her this way

I opened the door to my home late Friday night and saw the most beautiful woman in the world. She glistened as I fastened my appreciative gaze on her and thought to myself, “What a lucky man!” I walked in her direction because I needed to divest myself of the things that were in my hands, but as I approached her and noticed that she noticed me, I could feel the rhapsodic rhythm of love beating in my heart. She did not initiate our conversation. Rather, I did because I was so pleased to have her… Continue

Since it is my pleasure to support Cheryl, and given my involvement with Alopecia World, I am excited to have the opportunity to attend this year's conference. However, this means that I am going to miss seeing my middle daughter's…

Relationships are relationships -- regardless of our alopecia

Having a relationship with alopecia is no different from having relationship with hair.



We find someone who accepts our lack of hair, but everything else remains. We still have to battle through the process of merging 2 personalities, and me and rj are no different.



We have our good days, our bad days and the days that our relationship is just a struggle. It's all part of the package of loving and growing with someone.



I am not perfect and neither is… Continue
