About Me:: I am 38 yrs of age (soon to be 39) . I have Alopecia Total Universalis. I have been like this for 5 yrs. I lost it all when I had my 4 yr old. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and am now discovering I am growing peach fuzz. I had AA when I was 15, and did the cortizone shots, and through out the years did topical ointments, which did nothing for me, except stain my hair and scalp, and cause bad burns. My photo shows me with a wig, and unless out running around, I don't wear my wig. I live in PA, and if anyone needs any support, I am here for them.

I lived comfortably with AA for over thirty years [cortisone was my friend], although it progressed over the last ten. Moreover, after childbirth and nursing (2005), I lost nearly all my hair on my head. It has grown back, but sparse and see-through. When I'm out I wear my wig, but when I'm home I don't. I refer to it as my hat! Hey, that explanation works for a three year old!

Would have loved to go walking with ya although everything is ice here. The spring is finally on it's way!!
OH! Thanks for the tip on the cap to wear to keep my head warm!! ;)

I just got my wig and love it but if I'm not going anywhere it feels more comfortable to wrap it up. Boy is it cold with out anything on it though!!! I've had to ask my bald husband a thing or too about it before. Even had him shave my head and then asked if he ever thought he'd be shaving his wife's hair....had to laugh about that one!!
Your babies are GORGEOUS too!!!!
Hope to get to know you more.

Seems there are tons of discrimination cases against them. and her friend is one and her grandmother works for the Equal Employment Op. division here. Do you have a scanner? If you do could you scan one of the good pictures of me and email it to me so I can put my picture on here. LOL there are no good pics just that stupid gray man there. lol
