Hi Jean, I hope that you FFA is still in remission, the problem I have with this support group is that long term members stop contributing, which leaves me to believe the worse that there is no cure and a hair piece is required. The literature says the disease burns itself out..if this was the case with you, would you be happy to answer a few questions..I am currently resisting medications due to toxicity and lack of results..bit would love to here your story..I know it's traumatic bit bome guidence would be great..hope you r one of the lucky one,
Jean, I saw your comment today about the positives of having FFA. That was a good reminder. I have to ask a question. Is your hair loss to a point that you are in a wig daily? Have you lost a lot? And may I ask what medicines/treatments you've been on since diagnosis. Any info would be appreciated. Blessings, Lori. If you prefer to email me outside of this site, feel free. My email is lobertella@yahoo.com. Thank you so much.
Jean - glad you had the Belinda Hayle treatment - I wonder where in the UK you live and whether you would like to come to the next get together we will have in the spring, if you're close enough. ^ of us got together last week for the second time and it was so good to talk. Hope you get this message, Celia.
