Yes, it was interesting that for my son his AA started after he was mugged - maybe the shock to him emotionally played a part in it......

Hi Soisy,

My condition started when I was 20 years old, about five years ago. At that point in time, I was going through some stressful things. This included struggling with an eating disorder, and trying to maintain an unhealthy weight! Within a year I lost all hair on my body! I have been living a much healthier lifestyle over the past three years. My hair grew back completely, and now I just have some (about 7) patches on my head. I totally agree that there may be some link between stress/diet and the hair loss. The  way I see it, is that I always had this condition in me, and the stress I was putting on my body was the catalyst for the hair loss to begin. I don't think this is case for everyone, because this condition is so sporadic and unpredictable! But yes, I agree, for some of us, it may be related! For me, I just try to do my best to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which makes me feel like I'm doing something other than being sad about it! lol Good luck!! :)

-Ellen :)
