I am 47 years old. I was at my mothers funeral when I noticed a bald spot. I assumed it was from stress. The spot became larger so I went to the doctor he found another bald spot. I was told I have alopecia. I have known for 3months at this point. I realize I will eventually shave my head. I am wondering about jobs who hires bald women. I have been depressed I think. I must ad I am blessed I am not diagnosed with a disease I am dying from. Maybe I feel guilty about loosing my hair. (vainess) My mother suffered in pain from rheumatory arthritis for over 30 years. maybe I need to relook at my life and see how blessed I really am it is only hair. My husband thinks I will be beautiful know matter what. thank you - Tammy

Tammy, I think you will like the book! There's a link on this site...or you can go on Amazon.com or any other online bookstore.
Let me know how it goes, okay?
Hello and welcome, Tammy !
I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. You can find out more on my page -- and let me know if there's anything else I can do!
