I was where you are not too long ago. I thought my life would be over if I lost my hair. Then I thought it would be over if I lost my eyebrows. Two years later, and my life is great and I'm comfortable going everywhere bald. It's who I am now. Take care,
Mary
Hello Emilie,
I know how you feel believe me, I am also tired of covering up the spots. And also in the spot of I don't know what to do. I've been going through that alot lately in trying to make a decision. I was so happy to find this site, anytime you want to chat, I'm here.
Hi Emilie, I've been meaning to say hi,
So hi, how are you doing? My name is Eileen and I will be oving to Sacramento in June to live with my son and grandson. So maybe we could chat sometime. I think that your a very brave young lady with a beautiful baby. I hope that you have a great New Year.
I just joined tonight didn't even know there was such a sight out here. So this is very late in posting to you. I have had AA for less then a year and already about 30 of my hair is gone. its just such a weird disease, I can't understand it, my moods are up and down. I have felt like shaving it all off many times, but until I can find a good wig I wait.
Anyway looks like there are some good people out here,
Hugs to you, and keep your chin up you are not your hair, you are unique and special with or without it.
I know exactly what you're going through and how you feel about it. My hair started to fall out right after my second baby was born but didn't get that bad till a year ago. I too tried to cover until I couldn't anymore; got a wig but didn't shave what I had left of my hair, it fell out short after that anyways. I still hate this, and some days really are a challenge but it gets better, you get to the point where you realize you can't let alopecia prevent you from enjoying your life, especially when you're a mom; I know my kids are happier when I'm happy :-) It's great that you have your husband's support and I'm glad you found this site, it helps to know we are not alone. So hang in there...
I think families would be welcome, but I am not really sure. This will be the first meeting I will be attending. So, I am not really sure about anything. Sorry I am no help!
I was born and raised in Los Angeles area. Valencia California. Do you know where that is? Its right by Magic Mountain.
I wouldnt worry about what your little cutie will think when he gets older. I can tell you from my experience, my son being 9 years old in 5th grade. He hasn't been teased at all. Infact, all the kids come up to me and talk they want to hang out..lol Its cute!
I am the only parent they all run to on the block and ask questions.. Makes me feel pretty good that none of them run and scream from me. I am not sure if anyone asks my son what's wrong cause they have never asked me.
I have had one of his teachers ask if I was okay. I think they thought I had cancer. (I wear my scarf all the time)
Anyways, its so far away. I am sure everything will be okay!
