only been here for a very short time and I find it wonderfully encouraging. I have dear friends that are understanding and always have encouraging words, but its nice to talk and hear from those that are experiencing the same things.

This website has helped so many people feel they have support and someone to turn to. I wish more Doctors knew about this place.. and were able to give their patients the information. It has helped my daughter cope and come to terms with this condition. It has helped me too, feel less helpless.

Yes it's great that we all have a site like this to bring people like us together for understanding and compassion. But then again its also sad that the rest of the world (the one I am subjected to every day, is not as, or even rarely as accepting.

And let us not forget our 'family members' who are rockin' those scarves, hats, and wigs! If I haven't learned anything else from my hours spent on this website I've learned that covering or no covering, bald or not bald... it doesn't matter! What matters is that this is a place where I (we) can be free to be me - and hopefully that will manifest itself outside of the parameters of the web.

I have never blogged until joining this site. I have never had any kind of chat room type experience until joining. This is the closest thing to a chat room in my life!!! And so comforting to find so many beautiful and understanding people who know a bit of what each other is going through. People to "talk" to and then know then you are not the only one feeling the same things, thinking the same things, doing the same things. A wealth of ideas and information to allow us to maybe make some decisions that are right for us with regard to this hair loss thing. Thank you one and all !!

I would have never healed emotionally so quickly without this network. Thank you everyone!

I agree with all my heart that what you have said is true. Intill I found this site I had no one to talk about me having no hair. So fair I am the only one in my famliy and my circle of friends that has it. I'm just glad that I now have a place where I can talk to people about it and know they have felt what I have and know what I am going through. Cause it sucks not having someone to talk to about it all your life. But then it becomes great because now I do. Thank All That is Holy and Good for the internet!!!^..>^

Of course, we have to remember that this is a really big deal for Tallgirl - after all, as probably the oldest member of this site and having only just learned what a computer is and how to use it, she's truly amazed by all this Interweb malarkey.
Fortunately, the very thing she's amazed by - the fact that I'm 5000 miles away and able to post comments practically "on the fly" - means I'm safe from the immediate possibility of her calling round to punch my lights out :)

You are so right Tallgirl, the day I decided to give up the fight and shave my head I joined AW and within minutes I got so much support and now on a day to day basis AW gives my the courage to face the world without covering up my bald head and I don't think I would be that strong on my own. Without this site and knowing there are others like me I think I would have covered up and hid from the world, it's been a godsend for me.
