I 'am 50 yrs young, I have 1 son 19 yrs. both my son and I have AA. My sons AA started at age 2 and has been shaving his head since 4th grade. He is attending his 1st year of College . My AA started at age 11 but only lost 1 patch,all grow back by age 14,since than no problems until 3 yrs ago and everything started to fall out. As of now most of my head hair is gone and I have to shave now. I have a husband who is retired, and now I am a domestic goddess. I have lived on Long Island, New York all my life. It's a great place to live. Just updating my condition , now it has turned into AU! go figure... You just never know with this fickle disease!
Maureen..Thanks for stopping to say hello..Im doing great...This summer is jsut wizzing by...I just got back from a beach vacation so Im doing great...Thanks again for saying hello..I appreciate that..Bob
I know what you mean kind of....I'm lucky to be a guy with this. Most people probably just think I shave my head compulsively like a fanatic. Only a few really understand I have AA. It would be tougher to be a girl. I think you look great bald and thats a great looking kid you have too! What's he aiming for at school?
Hi Maureen,
Sorry you are not happy with your wig. Did it come with a style already cut into it? I recently got my vacuum wig. It did not come with any style. I need to find a really good stylist to cut it for me.
I get really hot and uncomfortable when I wear a wig outside in the summer. My head starts to sweat and the wig starts to slip. I've been wearing a hat without the wig most days. I am going on vacation next week to the grand canyon. No way am I going to wear a wig during the day - I am bringing my hats!

Hi Maureen,
How disappointing about the wig! Hope they make it right for you. Sounds like you'll still get your re-done wig before I get mine.
Ordering from Fuller Hair, I got a sample of the wig cap to make sure it fit before they started to make the wig. I also got a sample of the hair to approve the color and texture.
I have my fingers crossed for you...

Hi Maureen,
I am from NJ. Where are you from?
Good luck tomorrow - I am excited for you! Definitely let me know all about it. I ordered a Freedom Hair wig - but it hasn't come in yet. I am expecting it in July. I have seen them and they are awesome. I would love to see yours. It will will be interesting to see what the differences are, if any.

I noticed that your son also got alopecia. Do you have any support group in NYC?
