So the last time I blogged I was 3 months pregnant and my hair had started to fall out again. Well it decided to do that wonderful thing that alopecia areata does and grow back and give me hope. At one point it actually started to get really full and thick and i had no spots. Then my little pumpkin was born (Hailey Darlene Burley-Heslop Oct 31st, 2010 thats why we call her our pumpkin 8lbs 13oz she was a big pumpkin lol) and then i noticed the back of my hair line started to creep up and up and… Continue

So i found out not too long ago that i am pregnant and as much as it is a wonderful thing it is stressful and stress is not my best friend lol. I have only been with my boyfriend for two months and our relationship is still very new and this is a big unexpected surprise. We are both very happy and cant wait but there are still the concerns and worries of being first time parents at such a young age and in a very fresh relationship. Since i found out i have noticed my hair is falling out more… Continue

Alot has changed for me in the past little while. When i first started on this site I was dealing with alot of emotions linked to my alopecia.

So since the last time i wrote on here i was starting to deal with all my insecurities of my alopecia. Since then I have met a wonderful guy named John and we started dating each other.

I just need some more time.



About 2 weeks into our relationship he started complaining about back pains.… Continue

As i explained in my other blog I have been dealing with this for 4 years and just recently came clean to my mom about my true feelings about my alopecia. When we had discussed it further she asked if I would talk to someone about this. Today I went and saw my doctor about talking to someone about my feelings and that was really hard for me. My mom went with me and afterwards i felt really crumby. I feel like I have given up that i am too weak to deal with it on my own and that everyone i have… Continue

I was diagnosed with alopecia when i was 20 years old and it was the worst feeling in the world. I watched my hair fall out in clumps and did not know why. I use to have such long thick beautiful hair that my mom was always jealous of. I was so broken up when my doctor told me it was just going to keep falling out. I tried for a long time to cover up the spots with makeup and everything i could think of. Finally it got to hard to cover it up and i had cut me hair as short as i could. I remeber… Continue
