About Me:: I am married and have a daughter with alopecia her first bout was at age 3. She lost all her hair eyelashes, brows everything. It came back almost as fast as it all fell out but 6 months ago she lost it all again but with no return. She asked for a wig which she wears at school but wears a hat most other times, she doesnt mind going without it all depending on her mood. I hope she keeps her confidence as she grows up!

Do you find that your daughters eyes are exceptionally itchy with the hair coming in and are the lashes white? We are doing a treatment. Samantha has a layer of hair on about 60-70% of her head and getting thicker. I am seeing her brows starting to pop out, but no lashes yet. They were were the last to go in Feb...Cindy

At 7:35am on October 10th, 2008, Cindy and Samantha said…: Hi Stacey. I was reading your post about your daughter on the childrens board and it made me smile. You daughter shares a very similar attitude to mine. Sam would like her hair back very much, but she has the acceptance to live her life without hair if it is deemed that way. I hope not...Sam developed AA at age 5. She has been wearing a wig since Dec and lost her brows and lashes this year. That was harder I think..Are you doing anything to help her hair regrow or is it coming back on its own? Cindy

Thanks for your comment. Yes they do sound a lot alike. Jennifer loves wearing her wig, she doesn't go out without it only on our back yard when she plays with her little brother. We have a new problem now ,he attends kinder at the same primary school and he has been telling his friends that Jennifer wears a wig and we prefer to keep it quiet to avoid teasing. So I have to try and convince a four year old to keep quiet. For him it is normal that Jennifer wears a wig, but he doesn't realize that other people may not understand. I love your quote I have to tell that one to Jennifer she will get a laugh out of that. All the best to you and your beautiful daughter.

I haven't met any maritimers with AA or AT either. I'm sorry your daughter is going through this but you (and she) seem to have a great attitude about it!

your question is not stupid. for the moment the sun isn't too hard. moreover, anthéa is half-breed (her dad is from Ivory Coast). but this summer, I'll use sunscreen.
tomorrow, there's the fancy dress ball: anthéa will be disguise with the dress of Scarlett O'hara! she doesn't want to take the big hat on! lol
she doesn't know who is Scarlett: she says that it's a princess dress!
I'll add some pictures on my page if you want to see my little Scarlett! lol
have a nice week end!

I see some older girls on here who look vibrit and full of life. I've learned so much through this site and other websites that not to expect much but anything can happen, we made an appointment to see a specialists at sick kids here in Toronto who has done studies on alopecia just to hear more and maybe if find out anything we haven't already heard.My daughter's only 6 so any kind of steroid or heavy meds is out of the question but will be interesting to hear what she has to say. Well thanks for connecting ,oh shes hasn't had any eye problems yet but like your husband I've got all the things that can happen covered ,spent many nights on here researching all there is to know about alopecia. Again thanks for sharing and will let you know what the alopecia specialists says, chat again I hope take care stacey,

lol
today, we had to see the doc who looks after anthéa for her alopecia. she has changed the treatment, once again... she told us that the sun was good to help the regrowth so anthéa have to take her bandana off when she's outside!
have a nice day!
