This stupid thing depresses me from time to time and makes me angry because it seems like nothing you do can stop It from happening.I lost around 40 percent of my scalp hair, started doing kenalog injections every month for the past year and a half.  Finally , i have recovered and have 85 percent of the hair on my scalp. Many many months went by and I thought it was done . And then yesterday I noticed I was starting to lose eyelashes on my right eye and this decides to happen after I just regrew the eyelashes on my left eye .I just wish that someone could just figure this da*n thing out and provide a definite answer for It. Its like what doctors and dermatologists say , " There isnt really an answer for it ." I call bs , that is a crock of bs . Everything in this world has an answer,..even this too.. Its just that no one knows the answer to it. I pray and hope that a cure will be found and the exact cause that sets off alopecia. Im sure there arw more than one trigger.  Im sure of it , but that doesnt explain as to why the immune system decides to go ape sh*t on our hair follicles. I don't believe that something just crops up without a given source. I've never had this before in my entire life. Im glad I didn't have to deal with it in school. Thank God, because I'm self conscious enough as it is now.  I've Had it for two years now .  I'm almost 26.  years old , I feel like I'm too young to lose my hair. If this would have waited until I was 40 or older , it wouldn't have been as big of deal to me.    And I hope my son and future children don't end up with it because it is a nightmare.  Im not saying there is anything wrong with not having hair. It doesn't define a person whatsoever. I just don't want them to have to experience the horror of it.  Like being in the shower and pulling handfuls of hair out while washing.  Literally handfuls. And when you are new to it , it scares the heck out of you because you don't know what the he** is going on. I was scared to death when it first started.  At first I thought someone put nair in my shampoo as a practical joke because I heard one of my friends talking about it. It wasn't  until  I realized that it wasn't a joke that I became scared as ever.  Horrified to go the doctor because I was sure they were going to tell me something was seriously wrong. And I go there only to find out that there is nothing wrong with me and to be told that it is probably a bout of alopecia.  Which they were right.  It takes a lot of strength to hold your head up and live your life like it never happened. Im not to that stage yet , but that's what I plan to do . I plan to just live my life and forget about it because thinking about it just makes me depressed.  I can't even stand to look at older pictures of myself. Not even ones thatb were taken right before this.  Because as soon as I look at them I start wanting my hair back. And I start getting sad and feeling helpless and hopeless.  And I should be happy that I have regrown a lot of it  but I just don't trust this thing at all. That's why I'm not showing the happy and exciting feelings yet. I just don't trust this condition.  Who's to say that all of the hair won't fall right back out after it has fully regrown?  I just don't trust it . And I hate how people misunderstand the reason you shave your head or why you dont have hair. It's like the first thing that pops into their head is  CANCER.

There is no correlation between alopecia and cancer.not a bit.  They are two entirely different things. I would much rather a person walk up to me and ask a question rather than assume somthing. And cancer doesn't usually cause hairloss.  Chemotherapy causes hairloss. And I also hate how people ask me how I ended up with it. Because I sure as heck don't know. There was nothing found on my blood test or panels. I don't have any serious diseases. My thyroid is in great shape. There is no health correlation what so ever. It's just a pain in the as* .
