About Me:: I Got AA when i was 26. I am now 32.. I have had AA and AT in this 6 and half year time span. When I got AA I had no idea what it was what I had. Never heard of it. I went through depression,denial, shots and pills. Im finally able to live with this disease. I cant say i accept it. In my mind its something you never truly accept.

I know how hard it is...I've been through it all. Had it for 30 years! I have accepted it, and written a book. Let me know if you need any help!

What I did around when my son was 5 and started school we went to counseling, and his school and my friend who has AU were also supportive. We did many things to keep Joe confident. I have to say AA did effect him,there were times my insides came out for him. But remember if they are not getting teased for this it would probably be for something else. So you have to empower them. My Joe is now 19, his AA isn't even a thought to him now. He is attending A Music Conservatory. I think having AA taught him how to focus on the positive. I hope this helped .

Best Wishes,
Maureen

This wasn't traumatic for me at first. I did turn traumatic as soon as I noticed all the regrowth was falling. It was VERY emotional for me. It seemed I cried daily, sometimes hourly. I don't remember crying so much. I'd cry because I was sick of crying and then I'd cry because I'd get mad at myself knowing this could be so much worse. I must say I quit crying the day I shaved my head, there was a release there of a burden. I can know look at myself in the mirror..wether wrapped, wigged or bare. It's been a journey that surely hasn't ended yet.
Thanks for the response. Hope to get to know you more.
