Hi Julie! I see that my Mom has already introduced herself :) (Jean from Wisconsin.) I grew up in Milwaukee and have just recently moved out east. Please feel free to ask me any questions about alopecia. It's a difficult journey, but I promise that you will come out of this on top! This website is a great place to find support. Please know that you are not alone. Take care :)

Hi Julie,
I see you are from Wausau Wisconsin. I also am from Wisconsin. I do not have alopecia, but have seen my daughter go through the challenges of alopecia. You are right; the doctors really don’t know much about alopecia. Natalie had gone through an array of treatments, including steroid shots, oral steroids, and creams, nothing seemed to work. Not knowing what this disease was and not being able to cure it was by far the most frustrating element of all.
This site has been a great resource and affirmation for me and my daughter. Knowing others are going through what you are can be comforting……..you are not alone. Reach out and get strength from people on this site. You do have a place on this earth and you are more than your hair. Please know that you are loved. Reach out…you have much to offer.
Hi Julie Ann, that sure is a beautiful fish you caught there, what lake are you on?
Concerning your profile..."pain is worse than hairloss" I think not just some of the time
but ALL the time.
Hello! I read your profile and I to felt the same way many times. I started loosing my hair in March went to the dermatologist in April and my hair is coming back :) It is taking forever, but I am thankful. This is a great support place.
Hi there I just wanted to say hi and welcome. I have felt what you are feeling and boy it so gets to you some days. The pain is the worst. Ach!
Big hugs and take comfort you are never alone in all of this

You are absolutely stunning girl! Thank you so much for your kind words and I am always here for you if you ever want to talk or need advice! Losing my hair was the worst experience I ever had to go through, and am still going through it constantly each day. I have completely lost all my hair on my head and are starting to see bald spots in my eyebrows which is so upsetting, I try to stay positive but this disease does get me down alot of times and I know exactly how you feel. I take each day at a time and try to see the good in everything i guess.. Always keep your chin up hun and realize god wouldnt have given you this if he didnt think you couldnt handle it!
Hi Julie, how are you, thanks for the add. I read your profile and I totally understand your feelings, here in this site you will see that there is many people in a similar condition than you. You seem to be a very intelligent person and pretty sure you can deal with this decease. I do not like the word suicide. If you don not mind what is Telogen effluvium I am not really familiar with it ...
Thanks for the friend request, i have bipolar and other issues so i can relate to the depression. Always here to talk and your a beautiful lady and no loss of hair will change that. I hope you draw strength from the people on this site who have been and are where you are. So keep your head up and welcome agian :o)
