SOOOOOO embarassing

Posted on April 1, 2011 at 10:33am 10 Comments

Last night I had a new neighbor over for dinner. We are both single and I thought it would be nice to get together. I have had AU for two years now, but I ALWAYS wear a wig. Dinner went well, and when he left, he gave me a hug and my wig caught on his sleeve and fell off.....I picked it up off the ground and put it back on, and made some joke about how I can go from bald to beautiful in 2 seconds flat...and quickly explained I had no hair due to AU.... I am still so embarassed....(I know it… Continue

Reasons for Alopecia

Posted on August 13, 2009 at 7:17am 6 Comments

Hello everyone,

I have had alopecia universalis for only six months.. I shaved my head five months ago. I have no hair anywhere on my body... Doctors around here are somewhat clueless.. they have never seen anything like this. They say it is caused by stress. Is this what the rest of you are told too? Yes, I have stress in my life, but who doesn't??? I don't feel that my stress is that high to cause such a dramatic outcome. From what I understand, there is really no cause or cure for this.… Continue

Hallo Linda
I think , alopecia is caused by
a genetic component and stress .
A lot of people have stress, but not everybody get alopecia, who has a stress.
A lot of people,who has alopecia , hade not a stress before( for example some small children here, who has good parents).
Stress is one of the reasons for alopecia.

Well, I can't give much insight on how to deal with dating anxiety, because I struggle with that myself. What I can give however, is feedback that I think you are being too concerned about it. You are very attractive, which I'm sure many guys will see. You may have to work a little harder to find those guys, but I'm sure they're out there for you.

Hey Linda!

Thanks for the friend request. Reading your page, it sounds like you do a pretty good job keeping a good attitude about AU. I know it can be tough. I've been bald for about 10 years now, so it is not big deal for me anymore, but the first year had challenges. Whenever I got down, I would remind myself of all the far worse conditions I could have.

Hope you're having a good week.

Bob

New Hampshire requires insurance companies to pay for wig coverage for hair loss caused by "(1) various forms of alopecia and (2) injury."
Check out this page and you will find this information under "Summary" in the very last sentance of the paragraph.

Linda, you must be feeling terribly isolated - or at least until you found Alopecia World. I had my hair until almost age 55, so we had similar experiences. I, too, didn't know anyone else. Have a good time browsing through the discussions and photos here - it's really wonderful. Check out the Group "Sisterhood of Women Who Shaved" to meet some really neat women. It took me the better part of a year to come to a place of acceptance and relative peace with my baldness. Hang in there.

Mary
