Eye Make-up for Alopecia Universalis

Posted on June 2, 2018 at 5:00pm 2 Comments

I love this community. It is helping me to accept my Alopecia Universalis. While I strive to get healthier in hopes of regrowing hair, I've found so many wonderful and caring people on this website who have helped me to accept the condition. I still hope that the autoimmune disease cures itself, but I'm not stressing out over it anymore. 

Today, I created a vlog on doing my make-up and getting ready in the morning. I don't bother with fake eyelashes. I don't have real ones to…

First and foremost, let's talk about wigs. If you have more than one, people will notice,…

I Quit My Job Because of My Alopecia

Posted on May 7, 2018 at 5:00am 27 Comments

I loved swimming. I was a swimmer and as an adult, I taught swimming classes. I was great at it. Then I started losing my hair. I went bald really quickly. I have Alopecia Universalis. For about a year, I taught swimming with a wig on. Most of the instruction was simple enough that I didn't have to demonstrate for the kids. I chose a stellar student and had him demonstrate.

I wore a really cheap artificial wig. It fooled everyone. I didn't have to deal with comments on my health. I…

I've got some hairs!

Posted on April 6, 2018 at 2:21pm 5 Comments

I'm going on my 9th year with Alopecia Universalis. I struggled with this for years. I decided that I was going to heal it naturally with diet and exercise because the medications that were being prescribed for me were interacting with my epilepsy medication. 

I started out with a raw vegan diet and lots of juicing. It really didn't do much for me. I loved fresh juices and they tasted great, but I lost weight. That was about it. I also looked a bit too thin. 

The next diet I…

Hello All.

I too quit my job after 17 years with my employer once my alopecia started.

I didn't know what was happening to me. I thought it might be stress or a chemical in the environment or anything else for that mater.

Anyway, It's been nearly 11 years since that happened. I'll never know what  my trigger was so I just keep moving forward in this journey called Alopecia...

Best to All!!!
