I'm 24 and just got diagnosed with Alopecia Areata.I just chopped off my hair to just above the shoulder. Right now i just have a dozen bald spots all over my head. Having just recently been diagnosed i dont know if it will all fall out or not. I'm just trying to stay positive and take it day by day!! I thought that i would add some personal stuff about me.....
I was a professional Syncronized Swimmer for 6 year, and did gymnastics since i was 3. I no longer do either of those sports, but i try to get out as much as i can to keep in shape. I grew up boating and on the water, and enjoy all water sports.....Did i already mention that i love the water...hehehe :o)
I have the most supportive and caring family anyone could ask for! I have been through alot in the last year. I also got Diagnosed with Chrone's Disease and Iritis(inflamation of the Iris), which was not a shocker since i have been dealing with it since i was little. It's kinda weird how everything happens at once. It has definitely put of strength to test. All in all like i said before i'm trying to take this one step at a time.
I am on facebook! Look me up. I live in Plano Tx so you should be able to find me that way. Thanks for the advice. I actually just went ahead & had my best friend do it about and hour ago. It is different and it was emotional. I had a martini before I went through with it! LOL! I think I will be happier now. Hit me up! XOXO!
Hey, it certainly is difficult to deal with the bald spots, i remember reaching a point where i had more bald spots than hair and realizing that it's really not going to go the other way. But it's only hair. You're beautiful now and you'll always be beautiful not matter what happens to it, so long as you don't let life get you down and keep a smile on your face anything is possible..

Wow, what a story... that is a lot of medical things to hit you all at once!
I wanted to tell you you are very pretty, and that your eyes and smile are bright warm beacons.
Would you believe I have British Columbia tattooed on my upper arm? Probably not something I should disclose too often...
take care,
jmh.
