Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: I'm a 36 year old married mother of three. I live in Baltimore, Maryland but love the beach and go there as much as I can.

I've had alopecia areata off and on for about 15 years. I used to have bald patches that I could easily disguise by styling my hair differently, but I've been totally bald for about a year now. I just recently stopped taking prednisone after taking it for 10 years, so I kind of doubt my hair will come back. The hardest part about losing all my hair this time has been also losing my eyebrows and eyelashes.

My family and friends all know that I'm bald and love me the way I am, but I usually wear a wig (or at least a bandanna or baseball cap) when I go out. Sometimes I get kind of down, but I try to remain as upbeat as possible and usually don't even think about the fact that I'm bald. Life is just too short to worry about stuff like that!

Are you 18 or older?: Yes

Just had to write and say how at peace I finally am with this whole thing. Having aa was so damn hard on me, but now that I have au (which you would think would be worse) I just don't seem to care. Everyone has been so awesome -- even jealous -- that I no longer have to shave my legs that it's almost funny! I am lucky to have a husband and kids who honestly don't care what I look like. I'm beautiful in their eyes and that's what's important. It's strange.....I really don't know what caused this… Continue

In both a wig, and bald.

My wife is bald and beautiful with alopecia universalis.
To me, a lady is often more beautiful bald than with hair, because you can really see her feminine features better when she is bald.

Thanks
Holly

I am in the process of creating an online magazine called Alopecian Style! You definately have that! I place a posting recently in one of the forums regarding this. If you would like more information, please email me. Glad to see you here with us. CR

At 9:57pm on May 23rd, 2008, Samantha said…: Daria....Hi! I saw you post on someone else's page that you had your eyebrows and liner tattooed. How the heck is the pain on that!??? I am looking at getting them done (eyebrows and top lid eyeliner). I've researched a lot and think I've found someone with a ton of experience to do it. I'm just concerned with the pain....mainly the liner. If you have any info, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

So I talked to the guy and he started putting them in. (all my spots are in the back of my head, people walking by were probablly freaking out) We'll I have a hair full of extensions!!!!! They are synthetic also, they clip in, so you have to take them in and out eveyday, it cost be $250.00!! so this will be fun while it lasts!!! I'm excited!
