- My passion is softball, and in Oregon it's sometimes difficult to enjoy. It's my release that allows me to not worry about my AA.
I've had AA most of my life, for as long as I can remember anyway. Mine, however, never goes away. I have persistent bald patches along my hairline that vary in size based on my stress level.

I've had AA pretty much my entire life. When I was little I had a patches of hair that just never grew. That went into remission for a few years then came back when I was in high school. I've been doing scalp injections for the last decade probably. It keeps the AA in check, but I never have had full re-growth.

Hi! My name is Chris. I have had AA for 8 years and never had any injections in my scalp. I found it to be invasive and knew then that it wasn't the way for me. I shaved my head for a few years and have grown it out where it does grow. I go to the same barber now and have it cut nicely despite the patches. Regardless, I wear a hat all the time. I am in the service business and talk with many people in person everyday. I wish nothing more than to not wear a hat all the time.
I have recently started an alkaline diet. I was acidic and never knew about any of that. I have also started taking Gotu Kola. (look it up). It took a week for my body to become alkaline and I have stayed alkaline. I am also incorporating other organic nutrients/vitamins. going with "The China study" theory. resetting my body naturally. giving it a shot anyway. Just thought I would share and say never give up.
How are you today?
