Now I love and embrace my baldness. It's such a huge part of who I am.Laurenhttp://lululandadventures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122624424398040309.post-49519750647617127442013-02-11T17:05:34.509-08:002013-02-11T17:05:34.509-08:00I have Alopecia Areata and sometimes I feel alone ...I have Alopecia Areata and sometimes I feel alone with it.

Alopecia has been such a part of who you are that I just didn't realize how much you have been going through lately with the total loss of your hair. I am glad you have decided to write again. You have always been a gifted writer and I know how much it helps you sort things out. Please know that I am only a phone call away. You can always call me!

I appreciate it!Laurenhttp://lululandadventures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122624424398040309.post-60193159252682147642013-02-10T05:54:17.238-08:002013-02-10T05:54:17.238-08:00I had no idea you have alopecia!

His patches seem to fall out following a fever so it's quite interesting to me that your mom commented on the chicken pox! Wes is pretty much hairless all over his body, none on legs, arms, trunk, nothing. I have counted it as a blessing on a number of occasions as I cannot imagine feeling comfortable providing him a razor to shave his face when he's of age! I don't know that he notices the spots, they're usually on top and back of his head. We just sunscreen his head extra and stick a hat on him all summer long (he's got some pretty cute hats!) but I imagine this is a very different experience for a girl than a boy. Fwiw, I think you are beautiful w/o hair!<br /><br />KaraKaranoreply@blogger.com
