I just clicked on the "members section" and could barely believe that there are over 700 members on this site!!!! Who knew there were so many people with some form of Alopecia!? I know the stats say about 2% of the population is afflicted by it, but I never knew anyone else with it while I was growing up. I wish the internet was around when I was a kid, I sure could have used this type of support when I first was diagnosed. It feels so good to be with such good company :-D

Yeah, I am really fortunate that, although I don't know anyone nearby that has Alopecia, I can meet people on this site to ask questions and get advice from. I don't think I'd be able to get through it without knowing that it's not only me. I didn't even know what it was until I was diagnosed; I never would have guessed that so many people have Alopecia.

I so agree! I felt very alone growing up, I knew no one else until I was 18 that had alopecia.

I agree with you. My wife also has alopecia and I keep asking her to take a look at all the helpful information and the great people on this site and she is very gun shy about taking a look. I guess eventually I will get her to check it out.
