Hi there. Marietta is really close to Atlanta, in fact I am headed there this evening to listen to some music on the square. Best square in the metro area!! I'm doing pretty well with my alopecia. I finally just stopped feeling bad about it and figured people can either accept it or not!!! Your book sounds cool! Awesome of you to write something that you knew people needed.

From what I have heard a support group has started up again in the Beaverton area. The leaders are a couple who have a daughter with Alopecia. There was an article written about her in a local paper recently. I have their phone number, but have yet to call!

I see Dr. Roberts for Cortizone injections about every 1.5 years or so... actually, I was just there two weeks ago! I buy my hair pieces for Wells Hair Goods in Beaverton... I have been going to them for years (although only once or twice a year as I only wear hair to work).
Are you involved in the support group at all?

Thank you LeslieAnn. It's a sassy name for a sassy ol' broad! ha

No. I am from the southeast part of Georgia. I am kind of close to Jacksonville, Florida.

Hi LeslieAnn,
So nice to see someone in the area... the photos of downtown are beautiful! We live in a great place! How are you?

hi sorry so long to get back to you but had to get new comp but at the moment all is good got new wig feel great

Hi LeslieAnn,

Thanks for the note. I am very new to chat rooms (if that is what this is!) so I'm not used to checking in. My grandson is doing all right. He also has ADHD, which is really a bigger issue because he is taking medicine and that needs to be regulated. His personality has changed so much, but medicine is the only thing that keeps him focused for school. It is hard to be his grandma and love him so much, yet see him facing these major challenges. Like almost everyone else affected by AA, we are so grateful that he is basically a health kid. I only get sad when I look at pictures of him before he lost his hair (and before we knew he had ADHD). God has his reasons, I know...

P.S. My daughter lives in Portland. She's an OB nurse.

I just ordered your book. I'm anxious to read it.

Leslie

Thanks for checking on me. I really like your name, too. That's also my middle name. Leslie Ann. What a small world.
I'm doing okay with my Alopecia. Some days it really bothers me other days I think "WOW! If this is as bad as my life gets, that's pretty damn good!" I've had AT for about 21 years now. I really don't think about it much, unless I know I'm going to see someone that I haven't seen in many years. I do wonder sometimes, if people can tell I'm wearing a wig. Which is stupid, because no one has ever know. Even at the salon with my daughter, the hair dresser said what pretty hair I had and even felt it. She didn't realize it was a wig.

Is your dog a Pekingese? He is just TOO cute!!!

Girl Im glad that you did find someone to style your wigs cause I sometimes get wigs that looks very abstract to me and I have to style it myself.

hello Im fine how are you doing? I have AU too for about 10 years.

hey leslieann!! your book sounds interesting i might just have to go buy it! :) yah loosing the hair before prom was a little bit of a shock but im getting a little more use to it now, its a growing process for sure!

well at first, my eyebrows were coming back in, but then they all fell out again. i still have my eyelashes..i wonder if they will ever come out! well, i have a wig and i just got it, and i havent worn it to school yet.

Hi Leslie- My hair is growing like a weed these last 2 months, I don't know what's happening, but its great, I will add a new pic later today when I am home from work.

My alopacia falls out in the spring and comes back in the fall.its the weirdest thing! i just wish they would find a cure faster :\
By your own oppinion, do you think that if a person has alopacia, most likley all there hair will fall out? _and also do u wear a wig or something? or did all your hair come back? your hair is so pretty!

Hi LeslieAnn! I am a parent of a child with AA. She was diagnosed about 7 years ago and has had a steady but slow loss. She has a growth pattern that would best be described as a reverse monk. She has hair on the top circle of her head that she grows down over the bald areas. I joined alopeciaworld to help her out, as much as she needs it.

Thank you for the warm welcome. My husband has been so supportive through this journey. I just lost all my hair back in January so it has been so nice to find this site and read about the stories of others that are going through the same thing. It is especially nice to meet other women and get their tips on eyelashes, wigs, etc.... any advice I get I will take. I am still trying to come to terms with losing all my hair. I am hoping every day brings me a little more peace and comfort. This site is a great start for me.
