Frontal Fibrosing Sucess and Burnout Stories

A site dedicated to tracking success separate from a broadly focused site on FFA. When people are new to the diagnosis and searching for info, the success side of things is elusive while the dark side is at every turn. I think this is in part because with success, one moves on. I want to make a plea for people to leave their good stories --- timeline and treatment --- here as those of us who are early in the process need the hope and understanding that success and burnout do happen.

BubbaLu, it took about 3 years. My eyebrows, then the front, and then the sides. My hair is very curly, so I would push it forward and anchor it with headbands, prolonging my denial. When I cut my hair from shoulder length to about one inch, I saw how much was really gone. That's when I saw a dermatologist and received a medical diagnosis that confirmed my hunch. It was actually a relief to learn that I am otherwise healthy, didn't do anything to cause my alopecia, and I don't need medication or a lifestyle change.
