When I first found out


My Life With Alopecia
When I first found out
When I first found out that I had alopecia, I was a bit upset when my mum told me what it meant. Because when you hear that your hair is falling out you think you’re going to be bald straight away.

I went to the doctors and I didn’t understand what they said but my mum told me what it meant. When I heard the word blood test I was a bit frightened because I have never had one before and it sounded like it was a lot of blood and that it was going to hurt. My brother had 2 because he got a fat neck and he told me that it didn’t hurt, so I felt a bit better. It didn’t feel that bad it was just a little pinch, it did make me squeeze when the needle went in.

School with alopecia

When I went to school with alopecia I was a bit scared because I thought people were going to bully me. But it didn’t happen.
In lessons I cried a bit because I feel like it was all going to fall out straight away. Then I told Freya my best friend she kept on saying alopecia but she didn’t know what it meant, so I told her what it meant. Then we agreed that she wouldn’t tell anyone else. Now I feel better about my alopecia because everyone knows and I have my blog.

  3. Someone much cleverer than me once said; "Life is by nature a process of ongoing challenge and constant change. The important thing is to not be fearful. Boldness builds a strong, undefeated self."

  7. Erin I think you are a very special little lady. I'm sure that lots of people will be helped by following your story and I know that you will have a wonderful record of your journey. Being brave is hard, it's much easier to hide away and not be true to you. At 7yrs old you have more courage and grace than many way beyond your years. I wish you all the very best and look forward to reading your blog xxx
