Around the age of 8, I was diagnosed with alopecia universalis. About 5 years later, it came back in and ever since I've been with hair...until about 2 months ago. I'm now 31 and the hair is completely gone. I will admit I had to get re-adjusted to not having hair again, but at least I knew what to expect. My mother is my confidant through this and I don't feel comfortable with telling anyone else. But I come on here and spill my guts? Yes! I feel this is the only place where people understand what I'm going through and can relate to the challenges that come with alopecia. The only other person I told about it is my boyfriend who broke up with me today (and no it wasn't because of alopecia). Been reading some posts to cheer up my gloomy day. :)

LOL!! Yea, I tried to get my mind off of it and ate plenty of chocolate cake last nite. It doesn't help any our kids go to the same school so I have to see him every afternoon. I've done my nails, put some nice eyelashes on, and I'm all cute with no guy! But it'll be okay.
