My AA grew back!
It is coming up on one year since I noticed the patches of hair loss on my head. The patches got bigger over last summer until they were the size of the palm of my hand. Then, around October of last year....they started to fill in! YAY! For a while there NO hairs were falling out. NONE. I've never had NO hairs fall out in my life. Now I am getting quite a few hairs when I brush my hair, shower, run my fingers through it. I don't see any bald spots yet thank heavens. But my hair is quite thin on top and might be getting thinner. Anyways, I just wanted to post an update. I can't believe I am free of AA, yet there is this weird feeling like I never know when it might pop up again.
Oh BTW, I didn't do ANYTHING at all to get it to grow back. My doctor had suggested steroid shots into my scalp, but I decided against it. It just grew back on it's own.

Yes it is a great feeling, yet now I'm getting nervous it is coming back... I am noticing a lot of hair falling out in the shower, but noticeable bald spots. Maybe just regular shedding? I did have 3 different spots on my head and now they are all filled in. Like it never even happened! There is hope!

Just to update you........2009 all my hair fell out over the course of two weeks even though my dermatologist "thought it most unlikely, that it would", dont believe everything your told.
One year later it very gradually grew back, first all white, then black and white and finally mostly black. It grew to about three inches .........and then fell out again. I wont lie, I cried my eyes out and put my wig back on. After about 6 months I had hair AGAIN...didnt get so excited this time, even though everyone else did, the main thought in my mind...Been here before. Sure enough it stayed for another 6 months, then fell out again. Its now 2013 and my hair has done this 4 times, the latest crop lasted nearly a year got to about 6inches long, everyone was so pleased.......and its all fallen out again. But im not giving in, yes its fantastic when your own hair comes back, even if its for a little while, and yes it is upsetting when it decideds to dissappear again, but it wont kill me and there are far worse things going on in this world......thank goodness though for good wigs.
