Hi Lolin
People will judge, we all do it and we always will. Unfortunately, judging and gossiping are two different things and people who gossip are not usually very intelligent. When I was very little my father used to read this poem to me about a wise old owl who spoke less and heard more. I try to remember that all the time and to always be considerate of others. If someone needs their eyes and ears opened then we all have to act together and make them realize how foolish they're being. I see myself as a teacher and role model and try to practise what I preach and I would hope that if you were in a similar situation that you would stand up for yourself too. Have a nice day!
I just read your profile and I'm amazed about how people feel so different about alopecia.
I need to say that I also ALWAYS wear a wig. Everywhere and always except when I'm at home. I've had AT for only a few months. In march my hair was already thinner but I was still able to have a ponytail and to go out even without a hat. Now, all my hair is gone and I really don't mind. Hair, to me, has never been anything special. I've never been that kind of person who was able to style it in great and different way. Now I can wear different wigs and I look different and I feel great.
Hi Lolin, how are you doing? I have a women's hair loss social you may be interested. But you need to email me so I can forward the info. My email is hodmark@comcast.net. Then I can add you to the local support group email list and keep you updated on stuff. Q's? Heidi ...
I read your blog and I loved it. I know exactly where you are coming from. I have had alopecia for 36 years and have never gotten used to and I doubt I ever will.
Hi Lolin. I live 10 mins from Farmington. It's too bad you don't live here anymore. I'm sure though that Minnesota is more exciting. I did find a group in Rochester, just wish I found more people to meet with it. I think it's cool that you wrote about still being mad about having Alopecia. I still get mad from time to time. I think we all do, but don't always say it. Hope all is well in St Paul. Allie
Hi Lolin, would you like to connect up with the local suport group? It really helps being face to face with others who are in the same situation. I live in Minneapolis. Let me know. Heidi ...
Hi Lolin,
Do you need a support group? You might be able to find out about one close by -- go to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation web site: www.naaf.org and ask for some help.
Hugs, LeslieAnn
idk.. my friends are really cool about it, and i guess everyone kinds knows, but sometimes i get little comments like... why are you wearing fake eyelashes and stuff like that. that kinda stuff really bugs me.. but other than that i havent really just wipped off my wig and been like "hey look at me im bald" .. haha.
hi there, i would love to email you my story. i would post it here, but it is pretty long. i think it would help you and inspire you. i felt exactly like you did. it has been almost 2 years and i am just now accepting it.

I LOVE the pic you have posted above... I may have to borrow it from you.
Have a great weekend!
