- About Me:
- I am a mother of a 14 year old girl with AU. She first started losing her hair when she was 9. It started as AA, then went to AT, then AU, now back to AA.
She is an incredible person...the strongest person I know. I think she has only cried 4 or 5 times about her condition in the last 3 years (compared to my 4 or 5000). She just has this wonderful attitude of "This is who I am. I have more important things in my life than worrying about my hair (or lack thereof)."
I believe the old saying of "God will never give you more than what you can handle" is true. I don't know why she has this condition, but I do know that God has very special plans for her in her life. I consider myself blessed to be her mom!!!

In December, 2006 my daughter, Rachel, was wearing her hair up in a ponytail and a friend asked her what that bald spot was. The spot was about the size of a quarter. We took her to a pediatrician who told us not to worry about it...it would grow back.
By February, the bottom half of her head in the back was bald. We took her to a dermatologist, who broke the news to us that she had AA. I was devastated. All of my hopes and dreams for her felt like they were smashed to tiny pieces.… Continue
