Kate commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post How damaged are our immune systems??"Well, I'm sure you've heard this when you were first diagnosed but basically what Alopecia is it's the immune system not recognizing hair as a safe object and assumes that it is a pathogen. When our immune system attacks our hair it…"

Hey all, It's been a while. How y'all doing?I've never really been interested in the medical side of alopecia. I've never bothered with any medications or injections so I've not done too much thinking on it.At the moment, I'm doing a little research. Does anyone have some good information on how alopecia affects the fuction of the immune system? I mean, on its affectiveness against infections and viruses? I know that I tend to get sick a lot more than any of my friends, and have always assumed…See More
Georgia Gardner commented on becky b's blog post My child's comment"wow, you handled that really well. I tend to get hot headed with such things so I probably would have gotten angry. Its really great that you're comfortable with who you are and are teaching her the same values."
Georgia Gardner replied to Karen Smith's discussion Diet and Alopecia"don't know if this will help, but my theory on alopecia cures is this>> Alopecia Areata is an auto immune disease. Everybodies immune system is different, the result of many different environmental factors. I very much disagree with the…"

I wore my scarf today, as for most people it was the first day of classes. I went out to the zoo with one of my new friends and…"
Justine commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"Hi Georgia, The advice you have gotten is great! In my experience, I have done a little bit of both, some I have told after a few months or so, others I have waited longer (I do wear a vacuum piece so it is not apparent to most that I don’t…"
Georgia Gardner commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"Thanks guys for your advice and stories. I've told a couple of my friends and taken my hair off in front of one of them so far. Most people have added me on fb were I have several photos of me without my hair and links to stuff about alopecia…"
Joshua commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"I couldnt agree more with what most others have mentioned earlier. I would like to add that, probably you tell him about it in a private environment ( it must not be necessary within four walls and roof on top), a place/environment where you can…"
Devin commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"Ive always thought you sould tell someone at the very beginning so you dont have to feel like you are hiding anything, but that doesnt mean you would show him until you new that there was something real there. You really should do what makes you…"
Alliegator commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"I think this depends on the people and the situation. I wouldn't say there is one way that would work for everyone. I don't think you should worry that you might scare him off. I do believe the sooner that it comes out, the better. I agree…"
dannii commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"I don't know what the best advice is. It's difficult without knowing the guy. All I can say is good luck and if he's a decent sort, hopefully it won't matter to him."
Karen Smith commented on Georgia Gardner's blog post Relationship advice wanted"I hoped someone else with really great advice would jump on and answer. Follow your heart. Make sure this is a good guy before you tell him. Someone gave my daughter the advice to tell a guy if you think it could go somewhere but to give it time to…"

So I just started college and for the moment I'm wearing my wig full time (cos its gorgeous and short and its a little easier to get to know people). I plan to wear my scarf after a few days so that the alopecia card is introduced early. But I think I've met a guy who may become more than a friend. I don't want to scare him off, but i really don't like the idea of hiding my alopecia. I was wondering how other people handled similar situations or any advice? (And yes, I know the whole "if he…See More

I was in town today, hitting the post-chrissie sales with my dad. I wore one of my pretty triangle scarves. We stopped for coffee and sat outside. Amoung the many people walking past was a family with a little girl in a pink dress who kept staring at me. Little Girl said the best thing ever. "Is that a pirate?".
Then she walked into a post. Which was only funny because she wasn't hurt.
But I love that, the kid logic. Scarf = Pirate. Completely awesome.

- Georgia, if you go on Amazon and search "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing," you will be able to see if they ship to Australia. I think they do! If you read it, please let me know how you like it!
Hugs!
