Just some random thoughts

I am a resent member to Alopecia World. Since joining I have visited the site everyday, read blogs, and joined some groups. I am in total amazement with this entire "world". I have suffered with alopecia for 21 years. It is funny as I sit in in front of the computer trying to get my thoughts out, I am overwhelmed with all that I have wanted to express about my life with alopecia for all of those 21 years. I don't want to bore anyone, but I guess if you don't want to read you don't have to.… Continue

What a busy week!

I've just spent the week travelling and meeting with cancer and alopecia patients in London. Yesterday I worked at Kings College hospital, in Lodon and saw 6 lovely ladies, who are undergoing treatment for cancer, who I helped with finding great wigs for them. I love hosting my wig clinics, you meet the most incredible and inspirational people.



On Wednesday I met a beautiful young lady called Kym from London who is eight and has alopecia. Kym was extremely brave and took her scarf… Continue

Reasons for Alopecia

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

Wigged out on a sailing trip...

Hello, lovely ladies!



I just spent the past 10 days sailing the British Virgin Islands with my guy. What a wonderful time. We sailed in heavy winds, snorkeled around beautiful reefs, and visited little beach side bars – and I did it ALL in my wigs!



I brought two basic synthetic wigs, the kind you can buy online (Noriko, Aspen, etc.) They are not custom made (but I usually have them thinned out a little and perhaps have the bangs cut.) One was pretty short and razor cut,… Continue

Joseph Paris Opinions

Hello to all the beautiful people on alopeciaworld <3



I received a call from Joseph Paris about his products yesterday and I am pretty much convinced to buy a wig from him.

Currently, I'm buying a $2000 (Canadian) or so human hair, lace front prosthetic. They last about a year (often requiring a $500 repair) because I tend to be a little harsh on my hair (I guess lol). I'm pretty happy with it, but I hate the tape-- it tends to pull my skin so hard that it comes off, and I… Continue

Getting ready for the school year

School starts in 2 weeks for my 10 year old. His journey with aa began last summer. At the begining of the school year a "health" assembly was held where the nurse explained to all the kids what AA is and Casey was given permission to wear a hat. THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER!!! The school and kids have been fantastic (except for just a couple of situations). Casey did wear a hat all year and it wasn't until the beginning of summer that he moved to AT (no hair, eye lashes or eye brows). With… Continue

research???

So, I was searching the web today and I couldnt find any new developments in alopecia research. Maybe i just suck really bad at searching the web but it upset me. there are no new findings and it makes me feel like nobody cares about it. if people do get grants to research on it shouldnt there be updates or something online. i would think it would be news worthy.



so this is half venting and the other half is a question...



has anyone heard anything new… Continue

Trouble with other peoples acceptance

I have never really known anyone else with alopecia and i guess its really hard.
Whats even harder though is dates, most people said they would go on a date with me if one thing, i had hair.
Im not comfortable with wearing wigs and i want people to like me for me and not just my hair. How can i get people to accept me for ME?



And no...even though i have had this for 13 years i still wish i had hair...guess i cant accept it

To an alopecia artist

Hi my name is Tasha im 24 year old mother of two. my eldest daughter Sierra5 have alopecia areata. I am looking to create a newletter to be sent some with all the children in her school. instead of putting a picture of an actual person with alopecia or a picture of her, I thought it would be nice to have an animated drawing of some children playing happily. I think it will catch more eyes and interest to create better awareness. Unfortanatly i stuggle with stick figures. Drawing doesnt come… Continue
