The coolest thing happened to me the other day!
I have had AU since January of this year. I was wearing a wig or wraps most of the time because I felt self concious but I recently decided to go around everywhere without anything. It was scary but I am so glad I did. I was out with my husband, who is also bald. We make a funny pair. A woman that worked/owned the restaraunt came over to us and asked me very nicely if I had alopecia or cancer. I said I had alopecia and she says, "Me too," and pulled off her wig right there!! I was shocked and so happy at the same time. I had someone like me right there! She said that she has had it since she was three. This is a rare thing and there is someone right down the road with it. If I had been wearing a wig we may never have met. I find that so facinating.
I have been out everyday for the past week or so with my shiney head held high. This is about my life and I am not going to worry about looking a certain way so that other people can feel comfortable. What makes me most comfortable comes first. I know that this confidence will probably not be with me all the time but it is right now and I am going with it as long as I can.

GREAT story! That is so crazy that you found someone down the road. That is fascinating. You go girl! I went bald to the mall last weekend for the first time, and not one person pointed, laughed or made a comment. We can do this!

Good for you. So courageous. I find the more people I open up to and share, the more I meet others with someone close to them that has it as well. We are nor ALONE by any means.
