timing

i've never really thought about this before but reading other girls blogs on here got me thinking about the time i got alopecia i was 14 and i left school at 16 and spiralled into depression until about 18-19

but u know what it was when it should have happened, i know i'm only 24 but i would not be the person i am today with out my alopecia and i'm sure most people on here would feel the same. we see things different its not so much about how you look, you never take ur health for granted… Continue

twin alopecians

hey there,

i find it fascinating that there are so many alopecians that are twins. I am an identical twin and for so long i thought that there was very few twins that had alopecia. now i read there are heaps of you! and some even loose their hair at the same time!



my twin doesn't have alopecia but has that anxiety about getting it. i can say for sure it has been difficult for her to see me loose my hair and my identity with depression. it was really hard for me as we always had… Continue

genetics

a while back, i went to a genetics doctor, cant remember what they call them.

i wanted to know more about alopecia and my dna.

and two because i like being the only one!!! haha

so the Dr said she has a 55% chance of getting it.

also i wanted to know what… Continue

insight

you know how your just so busy sometimes or you are thinking about other things so much that your bald head isnt something u really think about. then one day while doing something or getting out of the shower or sitting down at the computer a thought washes over you. I'm so different to so many people i know. I'm female and dont have a single hair on my entire body and some people who have met me dont have a clue. I dont go on rides or swim, i avoid rain and wind, and i dont wear my hair up...… Continue

alopecia and me

so i'm 23 now about to turn 24 in november. i was 12 when i lost my eyebrows, i didnt really think anything of it since i have fair hair and skin it wasnt that noticable. at 14 i got my first patch, small. i went to a dermatologist but i already knew i had alopecia before he said a word. he said i should go on cortisone, 3 months later was almost bald with only hair at the top and bottom of my head.



i shaved my head after getting my first wig, i think it was one of the most freeing… Continue
