Hi, My name is Tasha and I am new to this whole alopecia world, as of yesterday! My daughter Sierra Sue is 5 1/2 and has had alopecia for over a year. What a journey it has been. Ive done so much research about alopecia. When she was 1st seen by the family doctor for her quarter sized bald spot, she said it probably got rapped around a toy and pulled out. I refused to excet that as an answer and ended up researching. Alopecia is what I came up with, never hearing of the issue before I was terrified. We ended up finding a derm that had his practice an hour and half away from home....he diagnosed her with alopecia. Recently it has been hard for her. I have found the NAAF web site and saw they had a video for school. They sent it and origanlly i thought it was geared at older 7 n up children. So i hesitated to let Sierra watch it. Finally after her asking for a hwile i let her and it was the best thing i could of done. It made her feel alot more comfortable about alopecia. So we pklayed for her dk class and a treat and handed out goodie bags with 2 bandannas for each child and a glow stick! what a great idea nearly all the kids wore their bandans today and are allowed toi for the rest of the year! Plus her teacher worte a really nice aticle in her classroom newsletter. Brought tears to my eyes along with my mom and sister! Alopecia World is so great in the two days that I have been on here and I would like to slowly interduce it to sierra!
