I was diagnosed with alopecia areata in october 2011, it was one of the hardest phases of my life and I just wanted to give up.. I could not understand why God had put me in such a situation. It was more then losing hair...it was my image, confidence, I was so afraid of the emotional changes I would go through. I had wonderful supportive family, friends and even the love of my life.. Seeing bald spots get bigger was beyond anything I could of ever prepared myself for. Today is four months since I was diagnosed and with Gods perseverance I can say that I have accepted having alopecia, I've had 2 doses of those steroid injections and I'm going strong, there is hair re-growth. I've faced this all on my own, everyone left my side but God never let me go. In this two months I've had to "get use to the real world", "accept having alopecia" and "deal with a heartbreak". God never let me down, he healed my wounds and made me such a strong person. Don't ever give up, God tests the ones he loves most. He wants us to have complete faith in him. Thank you jesus for allowing this situation to occur, if I was not given this disorder I would have not known the power of faith and prayer. To everyone that has helped me through this journey...thank you, I've come such a long way all thanks to you guys:)
