Hi, Veronique,
I was kind of scared to tell my friends too but when one friend asked a couple of times about me wearing a scarf/bandanna and I decided to tell her she took it quite casually. I was relieved and now when I go to a support group I…
Yes me to first I was affraid to tell my friends. I was scared people wouldn't want to hang out with me anymore cause they would be ashamed of me. They would be shy being with me, with some hair missing. Such a stupid thought I know. Now I know…
I'm having this scalp pain too, mostly at the back of my head. Sometimes it feels like of somebody was poking my follicles with 40 burning needles at the same time for a few seconds, and then the burning sensation fades to warmt and my scalp…
Your story reminds me so much of when I wanted to come out to my parents about being gay, so many similarities. I was very nervous about that, and even bottled out of doing it on the first couple of attempts. But when I eventually went ahead and…
This is a good topic because it's universal.
At every age people want to feel accepted and are by nature afraid of rejection, especially from those with the closest emotional ties.
The anticipation of negative reactions are far worse than the…
My mother just doesn't want to talk about it. I think that's her way of dealing with it -- ignore it and move on with your life. Oddly, when she had cancer a decade ago and was faced with the possibility of chemo, the first thing she said…
it was really scary for me to tell my boyfriend. but i have found over the years that while i fret about it, if the person loves you, they could care less if you have hair or not. (mind you my ex-fiance left me when my hair started falling out - the…
I don't know. I am not frightened at all for people to learn about alopecia. I just get tired of the endless questions. I even wrote a blog it. People aren't familiar with alopecia, so they have loads of questions, and it's always the…
Finally, it seems like the hormons were the guilty ones. After my doctor put me on a new treatment, my patches re-filled slowly during the fall and are now almost entirely covered with thin baby hair. The new ones at the top of my head give me a lil' punk look ;-) It still itches and burns sometimes, but I really loose less hair than last summer. Maybe it will last, maybe not, but if it doesn't at least I will know what's going on next time I loose a handful!
Le français est ma langue maternelle (je viens du Québec), alors il me ferait plaisir de rencontrer d'autres ''alopéciens'' francophones par l'entremise de ce site :-)

Salut Marie-Pierre,
J'ai vécu la même chose que toi il y a maintenant 6 ans et demi et depuis je me rase la tête tout les matins.
Ça été long mais j'ai fini par accepté que je n'ai plus beaucoup de cheveux, le plus dur cependant est de ne plus avoir de cils ni de sourcils.
Alors ne tant fait pas tu n'est pas seule et ton fiancé n'est pas le seul qui trouve les femmes chauve attirantes.
Garde la tête haute !
François
St-Placide
PS: Si tu as envie de parler avec quelqu'un qui vit la même chose que toi n'hésite pas à m'écrire à adrenaline600@videotron.ca
