Is there a website where i can see them? would i have to go in person to try them on? I´m very new to this and I live in Berlin, i´m kinda desperate, i really need a wig and all the wigs here are pretty bad, they look very fake and look…

Amy: I did the exact same thing last year....I was just getting ready to get in the shower, one quick look in the mirror and it was like I changed, my husband got the clippers and off the rest of it came. HOW LIBERATING it was,,,I DID IT after 15…

Hi Sol I think our terminology has to change. Our Light implant would be what most European womans growing hair would be like - (a normal amount of hair - not fine or thin). Our light/Med would be for those that really like full, hair and who…

I've got a question for all: I'm a lover of thick hair, as mine used to be. I would ideally want a wig to replicate the same thickness and considering that vacuums are so expensive I would want to make sure I was satisfied with what I was…

Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: Hi!
I'm Amy!
I'm 33yrs old & have been battling Alopecia Areata for over 10yrs.
I'm married to the most wonderful man...Jeff & we have 3 kiddos, George is 7, Andrew is 4, & Allie Grace was born 5/17/08.
I am originally from Oklahoma City, but marrying an Air Force man has allowed me to live in places I never thought I'd see, like Belgium!!
My husband is now a civilian, after 10yrs of service & we now live in Jim Thorpe, Pa.
I am a huge US history nut, with anything WWII related being my passion. Before getting married & doing the SAHM gig, I majored in History & American military history. I still plan to eventually finish up the 13hrs I have left, so that maybe one day I can get my dream job of teaching college kids about the Greatest Generation & having a dingy little office cluttered with books!!:)
Aside from being a mom & wife, I like to get involved with as many activities as I can.....this allows me to forget about the A/A for a while, by keeping busy.
I've coached the boys soccer teams, been active with a wonderful military wives group, & try to devote time to other causes such as POW/MIA's, military & veteran's affairs, & AD/HD(our oldest son is afflicted with this condition.).
My life hasn't been easy, by any means, but, I try to look at it like this: Life is never easy, so it's best to work with what you've been given & try to make a difference in someone else's life!
Living with A/A has made me realize that no one is perfect, love comes in all shapes, beauty is not what's on the outside, but what's on the inside, & being true to yourself is the most important thing!
I have a very supportive family, from my parents to my husband & children. I also have a close circle of friends who push me to be who I am & for that I am grateful.
I've just recently "come out" with my A/A, & the funny thing is, some people whom I've known since childhood, had NO idea I had struggled with this! So, I am opening up & trying to raise awareness, hoping that by getting the word out, people will learn more & be more accepting of people with this devastating condition.
I'm hoping to find some people who have been there, done that!

Do you have alopecia?: Alopecia areata

At 12:06pm on December 11, 2008, Maygensmom said…: So your first encounter with AA was when you were 22? Does anyone else in your family have AA? I am wondering if your triggers are hormones and stress? My daughter is 13 and she has AA. She just recently started loosing more hair, she has always had patches here and there, but now she is loosing a lot of her hair all over. I get very sad when I see the drains and her bed pillows. Actually it is everywhere. I am thankful for women like you that share your daily experiences and prove that you can carry on with a normal life. :-)
