  • Courageous and inspirational story Charlotte - thanks for sharing

    "This is a story with many ups and downs and bumps along the way. This is the story of me with Alopecia. This story all starts in Year 3. Year 3 was a very up-and-down year for me. This is where my Alopecia story begins. In about the middle of the year, very close to my birthday, I remember this very specific time when my mum was doing my hair in the morning for school and she saw a little patch. She said to my dad what is this doing here or add least something like that. My parents decided to take me to the doctor. The doctor said don't worry about it, but my hair kept falling out and it was hard not to worry about it! My parents decided to see a different doctor about it they recommended that I see a specialist about it. A couple of weeks later I went to the specialist doctor and that’s when I got diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and got my first lot of medicine - it was so tiny about the size of a baby's nail."
