My First Day of College
Posted on January 11, 2010 at 5:57pm 6 Comments 0 Favorites
Welp... after almost 6 years I finally did it!!!! I started back to school today after graduating from HS in 2004. The past few years going back to school has been so scary for me for some reason... I even started the financial aid process and got accepted into like 3 or 4 different schools and never followed through!! I had once again planned on going back way before this November when my alopecia started and was of course falling back into my same routine of doubt. I was so scared and nervous… Continue

I was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis around Thanksgiving of 09 while I was 6 or 7 months pregnant with my 3rd child. The last picture taken of me was November 6th and I had a full head of hair; the same hair I'd had my whole life. By the 2nd week of December I had lost all of my hair, body hair, eyelashes, and most of my eyebrows. It has been extremely hard for me to cope with this because I have never had problems of any kind up until now and my doctor is telling me that AU usually… Continue

- Beautiful Babies!!!
I lost all my hair at age 10. I wore a synthetic wig until 1989. I then purchased my first vacuum piece and I still love it today. It has made a huge difference in my life!!
I am only an hour away from Cincinnati.

What did you name your little boy and what did he weight?
As far as the hereditary thing, I have been told that children of an alopecian sufferer have a higher chance of contracting Alopecia. I was also told that anyone who has an auto-immune disease passes that on to their children-but...their children could contract another auto-immune disease - not neccessarily the same one.
Maybe you should ask your doctor for clarification? I think this is a very good question myself. Might 'Blog' it.
Good to hear that your little one is here safe and healthy

- That is great. I take my hat off to you. Studying a degree with 3 kids. It will be worth it though as you say.
I know 8 years feels like a long time. My husband did a masters degree over 8 years while working and we had 3 young children at the time. You get through it. Hope you have some family support. Good luck with it all.
My son Jon is doing alot better now. He has 6 months homeschooling last year. Now he is happy to go to school. He changed to a small Christian school this year and he feels alot more comfortable. He has a close friend that goes to the same school so he is set. He has started getting involved in things as well. Playing indoor soccer and going to youth group. Talking more to friends and family. He is not interested in wearing a wig. He is trying to be happy in his own skin if you know what i mean. He wears a bandana most of the time but will go a-la-natural around the school and other places when he wants to.
