Hey, sorry it's been a while, my hotmail used to tell me when I had comments but it doesn't anymore so I havent gotten on here! So I have a question... I'm a little worried about how I'm going to explain my hair issues with my 2 year old daughter if it gets worse. I thought since you have a 3 year old you might have a suggestion or two?

thank you! anyone who can not be afraid to say that they are bald and doesn't mind is an inspiration. lets hope the trend continues! :)

Hi Erin
Your pictures are great! You seem very well adjusted to having alopecia. I too live in Canada and have 3 daughters with amazing hair. Nice tattoo too, I've got a butterfly on my chest.

Hi Erin - I just happened across your page and had to mention a few things. First, I was really struck reading your story. You've not only had to deal w/ the loss and cultural context of Alopecia as a woman, but also some other auto-immune challenges. Anyway, I think you fucking rock...totally strong, centered, clear, nobody's victim, etc. So I just wanted to acknowledge that. I also had to let you know that I think that sleeve you're rockin on your left arm totally rulz! It looks like really beautiful work. Can't see the detail in your pix, but can see the composition and flow and it looks awsm! And lastly, just have to let you know that you have amazing style, are a completely beautiful woman and that you have excellent taste in whom you add to your friends list on here (just sent you a request)!!! :) Pretty funny, huh? You should see me once I get on a roll!

Hey Erin, my name's Katie and I just recently joined on here. I saw your page and I think you look great! You hair looks really good! So far I only have alopecia areata, but I get a few more spots every time it acts up so I'm trying to really prepare myself! I was hoping we could chat on here, or if you have a myspace? Well, hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Erin. Just read your response to Signe's forum about passing a.a. along to a baby. I saw that you also have rheumatoid arthritis. Me too. Guess I'm not the only member of this club!!! Yay us!!!! I've also got inflammatory arthritis (apparently not RA, but something similar), hypothyroidism, and a.a. heading towards a.u. However, no one else in my family has anything wrong with them -- past or present. I'm just hoping my three little girls stay healthy in every way. Take care!!

You're Blog is amazing I can relate to so much of your experience...this is a great website I am so glad I joined!

It's national care week...
time to send messages to all your friends, telling them how much you care about them.

Without friends
you would be missing out on a lot.



A friend should be radical;

They should love you when you're unlovable,

Hug you when you're unhuggable,

And bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical;

They should cheer when the whole world boos,

Dance when you get good news,

And cry when you cry.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,

They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,

Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,

Calculate the need deep within your heart,

And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.



I care about you.
Have a nice day, and
I'm glad we are friends!!! Delete Comment

It went pretty good. How was yours?

Are your wigs synthetic or HH? They look so real. Are they very comfortable?

Hey Erin!! I looked at your pics and my favorite is the red wig. AWESOME!!!!!!
