You are beautiful!
My wife is bald and beautiful with alopecia universalis. To me, a lovely lady often looks more beautiful bald, because you can really see her feminine features when she is bald.
Hi Kristen,
Hey, I just wanted to say hello. I've had AU for 20 years.
Look for an article in the Orlando Sentinel in about a month on alopecia areata! They want a copy of my book for the article.

hi im becky. i recently have alopacia, i've had it since i was 2. ohk well i was wondering, by your opinion, do you think everyone with alopacia will most likley lose all there hair?!
Hey Kristen! Thanks! :) I think I started out all gung ho and strong girl attitude, but then this past weekend I totally had my first break down. I literally just sat down and started crying hysterically. It just came outta nowhere. I think I just needed one really good cry cuz now I'm feeling ok again. I just wish my hair would make up its mind! I wish it would all fall out or just grow back! Gah!
I'm going to Camp Modin, a jewish camp in Maine (and no, I'm not Jewish but I think it will be very interesting to learn about another religion). It's a general camp with heaps of different sports, including water sports (it has a lakefront) plus arts, crafts, drama productions etc. There's a huge variety of activities & the facilities look just amazing!
Thanks for your comment on my blog post..I know I will be fine, I just have my freak outs sometimes...
Oh, and guess what I'm doing at camp? teaching gymnastics...I used to be a gymnast way back when & a coach more recently. I love the pictures of you in your leotard & bandana...that's awesome! Are you still involved in gymnastics?
I'm new to this web and not very techy, but i know cheryl from NAAF Conferences and am excited to see so many alopecians - I'm alot older than you (old enough to be your grandmom...62 :)), but your gymnastic talents caught my attention !! You are terrific and really need to develope that talent !! I do alot of work in theatre settings and so many actors and ballet stars are bald and look lovely ! I'm AU and this condition hit me in'97 and in 2000 I had a second fall-out and now go bald or wear a short blonde wig or a cap - I admire your strength and courage. Give that Gym teacher a HUG from me !! My youngest daughter (now 30) was a gymnast and she's now a Nurse. Keep smiling ! Love to you, betsy
Hi Kristen! You have such beautiful and intense eyes. Ya know.....it's been said that eyes are the windows to your soul. And I see you are a sensitive earth godess.
My son, Vince, has had AU about as long as you have. He mostly wears a baseball cao, turned around. Vince is a busy beaver and he says he don't have time to think about his baldness anymore.
To me, his charm is so brilliant......he doesn't need hair! xox
I'm sure all that studying will pay off.
Yeah, we got quite a bit of rain this weekend. Had time to do a little yard work on Sat. Otherwise it wasn't bad. Just a lazy, rainy weekend.
Hope you have a good week too!
