About Me:
I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata a little over 2 years ago. My first visit to the doctor seemed hopeless and was very agonizing- I received about 30 shots into my scalp. It was the worse moment of my life. Since then, I have had a great reaction to treatment and most of my hair has grown back. I am very grateful, but still wish that things could be different. I am scared all the time that my condition will get worse. This disease is such a rollercoaster of emotions and I have felt so alone in what I am feeling. I have a great support system, but my family, friends, and boyfriend can't completely understand what I am going through. I am glad that I found this website!!
As for other details of my life: I come from a big family. They mean the world to me. I am moving to Texas with my boyfriend this summer. I went to school for elementary education. I am subbing at the moment and work in a pharmacy. I am a very happy person who tries to enjoy every moment.
Are you age 18 or older?

Nice to meet you Katie! I am the mother of a 13 year old daughter who suffers from AA. Right now she has about 70% hair loss. This is the most she has had since she was 3 years old. When she was 3 she experienced AU. I am in Paris, TX which is about 6 hours away. I am also in elementary education. I have my masters in educational administration and have taught for 10 years. My specialization is reading, so if you have any questions, let me know and I will certainly try to be of help.

No I grew up in Chicago and moved here when I was 12. I am so excited that you love Texas. It really is a whole new way of life down here! Hopefully we can meet up sometime once you are down here! XOXO!

Hi Katie,
That's great! If you order from the web site on my page, you get a 30% discount! Otherwise if you get it from Amazon or order it from a regular bookstore you pay full price.
Tell me how you like it!

Hi Katie,
I know, no one but us alopecians knows what we are going through. One thing that helped me is giving friends and family my book (it's just out): "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing." It really helps them understand our situation a lot better! It's a great read -- go to my page to find out more if you're interested.
Take care!

Hey, thanks for commenting me! Yes, I would for sure love to be able to chat with you on here! This is so frustrating so I love being able to talk to as many ppl as I can! So, how long have you had AA?

Hi Katie - I hope you enjoy Texas. San Antonio is a good place. I live up in Austin (about 1.5 hours away). Maybe we can meet up! I also have my degree in elementary education but I'm not currently using it. Hope to get to know you better! :-) Cheers!

Hey Katie. San Antonio is a ways away. However I do go down there everyonce in a while to see friends. Maybe one day we can grab that drink. Hope you are having a beautiful day! XOXO!

Hi Katie, I have three children but none of them have AA. I am the only one in my family to ever get it. My youngest has long beautiful hair. She is growing it out for me if I want to make a hairpiece out of it someday.I have been teaching 4th grade for 9 years. Before that I taught 5th and 6th. Did you do your student teaching yet?
