Whitney replied to alicia's discussion 'How to cope with being diagnosed with alopecia? Life is so unfair :'('
Hi Alicia,
As Deeann said, we all understand how you feel. There are so many people who love and care for you (this site included) and losing your presence is this world would be extraordinarily tragic. I lost my hair at the age of 12. Everything…
Whitney replied to julie's discussion 'Alopecia and Heartbreak'
Hi Julie,
My only advice is to take some time to care for yourself and try to heal from this break up. You'll know when you are ready to date again. Out of all of my experiences in dating, only one man left me over my Alopecia. As one of my…
Whitney replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Re: Stinging words'
That was the first time a man ever left me for Alopecia so it definitely left a mark. I agree with Jennifer. You've got to fake it till you make it. Generally, I feel pretty great about myself. Yes, I could be 20 pounds lighters, have…

yes, no, maybe.. lol. i don't think i have a real choice to be honest, my body doesn't seem to want to grow back any hair by itself which sucks. i have my good days and bad. i've decided as a final ditch attempt to get an appointment with a dermatologist again (which could take months grrr) and suggest trying sulfasalzine or if that fails then possibly cyclosporine (both of which i have never tried).
oh and i'm always living in hope of something miraculous happening or a cure/effective treatment being developed ;)

- I just want to say that I read your story and I look up to you for being able to tell your boyfriend about the alopecia. I have a boyfriend now and we have been together off and on for four years and I had a difficult time coming to him to speak to him about this, so I waited for him to come to me. I have never had the strength to come to any man and tell them about my alopecia. I really am inspired by your story and just know that you will find thee right one. One who will accept you with or without hair.
