- About Me:
- I am 54 years old and got alopecia areata when I was 18 and then alopecia totalis when I was 27. I am now losing my eyelashes on my right side and have lost my eyebrows on that same side also. I really thought the hair loss thing kind of came to a stand still, till this started happening a month or so ago. Looks like I have just about arrived at alopecia universalis...
This has been a very frusting and long trip for me but I have accepted this trial that I have to bear in life. It is just something I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy. My family is a great support system as well as my friends who know that I have AT. After all these years though, I still haven't gotten enough courage up to just tell people and let them accept me for who I am. When someone comments on my hair, I get so self-conscious and I feel so very uncomfortable, that usually I quickly change the subject and move on to talking about something else. I am hoping joining this group will give me the courage to stand up for myself and not care what other people think or say. After all, this is not something I asked for or can control. As I said before, this is a trial I have been asked to bear in life and I try my best to do what I can to live life to its fullest each and everyday :)

- This is the song i do at Kareoke. I love this song, but lately it seems that i have lost the notes to my songs. I recently found a bald spot and have joined the group to seek support and encouragement. I , too, try and disguise my spot as I cannot bring myself to tell people what has happened to me. My boyfriend is the only one who knows and he is a major support system for me, but he doesn't quite understand how it feels. Thank you for reminding me of the good old times with this song. Maybe one day i can get back up there and sing!
