Thats the best way to look at things. Because there's nothing we can do to change it. Thats great you have such a good attitude about it. I feel the same way. =)
are you going to conference this year?
I was pretty excited to find some people on here my age. =) And thanks, i love my mohawk =)
Well my story is basically...When i was a baby, 3 & 5, i lost hair in a big round patch on the back of my head. In junior high i lost some patches on my legs & arms. Then when i was 15 i lost two big spots on either side of my head. It all eventually grew back. this most recent time it all fell out of my arms, i lost almost all of my eyebrows, a lot of eyelashes, some more of my leg hair, & every hair on my head. But my eyebrows are almost all back & my eyelashes are back, & as you can see in my pic, some on my head is back. I consider myself extremely lucky.
I wouldn't trade having alopecia for anything in the world because i've become so much stronger & become so much more comfortable with myself, & also, I never would have met all the wonderful people i have on this site. =)
what about you? whats your story?
ive had AA since i was about 4. i had patches up until i was about 10ish and ive been completely bald since then.
ive always had a large majority of my hair missing, so i dont know any other way to live. my alopecia is who i am. i like being different from everyone else in a society where everyone needs to be 'perfect' whatever that means. i think that having AU has made me stronger and more confident in myself.
well if iv learned any thing in life its that you have to look on the bright side of things make your self laugh and the whole world laughs with you and god forgive them if its at me.
My friend Lyn also lives in Australia. I'm not sure of the exact location, but she has had Alopecia for well over 20 years. She's a great lady. So, don't despair, there are lots of us around. You just gotta do what you're doing and make lots of friends. Even if they are just online.....Those are the best kind!!!! I have Alopecian friends all over the world.
Welcome Goody, nice to meet you. My best friend in the whole wide world is moving to Australia from New Zealand next month. Her son is already there. He is in Brisbane. I hope to chat with you soon.
