Paulina commented on Sarah's blog post I've broke down."his sarah-
when i feel like that i try to do something where i am in complete and utter control-for me that is artwork, but for many people it's different things. I always thought alopecia was kind of symbolic for how we as humans don't…"

- hello fellow alopecians
i've had alopecia since i was 12- throughout highschool i tried various treatments which would make hair grow back almost all the way sometimes, but never fully, i lost it all again my senior year of highschool and went through college wearing scarves and then wigs. i'm now a graduate student studying painting in boston. i have two freedom hair wigs and about 13 synthetic wigs or something ridiculous like that! i still have those tough days, sometimes i get anxious about being infront of people i don't know well without my wig. alopecia has been a hard thing to accept in life but i don't think i'd be the person i am today without experiencing it. it's made me more compassionate, understanding, stronger definitely, and has made me see a lot of things about our society in a different light than i ever would have before. i wouldnt want my hair back at this point because i would hate to go through the loss of losing it again, i think im at a point of acceptance now that was really hard to get to.
go baldies.....!

- Hello and welcome, Paulina!
I'm an artist too, and I also have universalis! It must bring out the creativity in us.
How are you today?

- Hi Paula, my name is Cindy and I am parent of a 7 year old with this condition. She is doing a somewhat parallel treatment to yours and is having good results. I love your attitude and glad to see you have been able to be you regardless of your lack of hair. There is going to be a Bald Girls Do Lunch in Boston on Sept 26th at Vinny T's on Boylston Street. I have started a childrens support group in Mass that is supported by the childrens alopeica project. The girls have been invited to attend I am planning to attend. There is a a new New England Non profit that has been formed by 3 woman. They have a lot of things they want to plan. If your interested in the contact info to get on their list let me know..Cindy
