About Me:

I was diagnosed with vitiligo 2 years ago. I was devasted and for some time stopped all of my activities etc. I still feel very self concious and continually cover up. Summer holidays are a nightmare as I will not swim or wear summer clothes. Until recently I felt very isolated as I didn't know of anyone else with vitiligo. Would love to chat to fellow suffers x

  • Hi Viv, sorry it took me so long to reply, I haven't been on the site for a while. Hope you are still using the forum? I'm on the Isle of Mull. Funny that it's almost a year since you sent your message, so we are back into summer and all of those same problems and anxieties raise their ugly heads again :( I think I prefer winter! I just came back from having a back massage (a present from xmas that I just got round to using!) and the therapist noticed it, said she had a few patches on her arms, and said she sees lots of people with it! Well, if they are on Mull, they must be hiding it well as I've never seen anyone else with vit here! Good to be reminded I'm not the only one. Anyway, message me back if you're still on here. Gem PS love your dogs, sooo cute!
  • I look forward to it! Your dogs are really cute. I have a little yorkiepoo names Lucie. Do you wear makeup to cover?
  • Hello !!!!!!! Welcome !!!! How was your holiday ??? How was Turkey ???!!!!
  • Hi Viv! I just joined this site too, it's so great! I really feel welcome!
  • Hey Viv !!!!! Have a great time in Turkey with your friends. Have a good flight, and return to your vitiligo family safely !!! :) :) :) Hope to see you in Sri Lanka someday. I wonder if you are on holiday !!!!! How is school ?? What is the latest on your vitiligo? How are you coping with it ?? I have some success on my vitiligo on face and right hand. I am relieved. Take care. It was a pleasure to hear from you again.

Now I am back home - enjoying the warm sunshine !!! Mum is doing great. I take her for a checkup next week. Asia is a great continent to explore. So like you said ..... maybe one day !!!!! Take care !!!!

    This weekend I will be in Essex for 10 days :) I guess I will feel the cold too !!! But I too like it - as I can wear long sleeves !!! :) My mum has been unwell since last weekend - which worried me much. But now she is 99% well !!!! The past 5 days have been so tiring - I think the vacation will do me good :)

    Take care, Viv !!!! I think of you often too :) It is always a pleasure to hear from you :)
