Was it destiny or just luck?

This I just can't figure out?? Why is it I have had to deal with alopecia areata now for almost 17 years, I just recently find this great website with people just like me (have never met anyone else with this condition before), and now in the last two weeks...I now have alopecia universalis? Yes, it's almost all gone now.

Because knowing there are so many people out in this world also dealing with this condition, I feel I'm handling this better then I would have. Don't get me wrong....I'm a little depressed, but I feel that this will definitely help me and to soon now accept this.

Not only by everyone's stories of getting through lifes daily challenges, but by all the caring people I have had the great oportunity to now relate to.
Thank You.....

Jasmine think about getting a wig. I didn't want one because I felt I was giving up, but now I love wearing it!! I put it on, go on with my day and can completely forget about my hair.

The same with me..I ve been dealing with terribly bad hair loss for the past 15 odd years,lost almost one third of my hair and I just found this site about an hour ago.Finally some place were I need not try to cover up my scalp with the scanty hair.For 15 yrs now I ve been hiding it,having people comment about it and pointing out was not exactly understanding.And this was from friends and relatives.When ever I spoke of hair products,a haircut or hair styling they would laugh over it as if it was a big joke and say things like "Ya right for your hair" and stuff like that.Its not like we chose to have this condition.It took a lot of courage to brush it off like it dint matter while deep inside every word about it crippled me and made me feel more conscious.Some times I think I should start wearing a wig,but my husband says that Im perfect just the way I am.He is a true blessing in my life.He never once commented about it;its as if to him I have Rapunzel's hair...Lol.Anyway,its just such a huge relief to have found this wonderful website and all you wonderful people.

Welcome Sherri
This site and everyone a part of it truly are a lifesaver. I too only recently found this site after dealing with alopecia for 28 years.
