Hi my name is Connie and i was just found out I have alopecia on Monday Septmeber 21, 2009. It is a day I will never forget! I noticed a spot on the front of my hairline was balding about a month ago. Went to the Dr. and they showed me that my hair was also missing in the back, around my ears, top of my head and spots all around. How did I not notice? I thought it was just thinning out. The Dr. sent me home with Rogain. Has it worked for anyone else? I cried the first day, all day long. I am feeling so many emotions. Sad, angery, etc... Now the crying is over and I am tring to learn as much as possible. I am also trying to cope with my husband and kids. Husband just wants to fix me. He hates it when I am upset. He got online and ordered me 4 months of Rogain. ( He seems to think that it is going to work) He keeps telling me don't worry, I don't think it is that bad. He is willing to do what ever it takes to make me feel better. He is a great guy and I am lucky. My kids are feeling sad because I am sad. I am trying to keep my head up. I feel like I shouldn't talk about it becasue it makes everyone feel uncomfortable. I also feel that I have to talk about it becasue it is making me feel uncomfortable.
I am very confussed right now. I am thankful for finding Alopecia World. I don't feel so alone.
