I have been bald since about 2008, but I have had some spontaneous regrowth since 2009. I have been keeping track of my hair growth over the last year, and though sometimes it comes in and falls out, I have more now than ever since 2008. I honestly believe that my hair will grow back. I know that my hair fell out because I was under such emotional stress in 2006 that it took a huge toll on me. There are plenty of days when I get down and I cry, but I do my best to keep my spirits up. It can get hard, especially because I recently lost a lot of my eyebrows on both sides. But it seems like, with me, when I lose one thing I grow something else - some eyelashes have started to come in, and I haven't had eyelashes since the end of 2008! Most importantly, I never give up believing that I will get better.  I continue to try eating healthier, exercising, and doing things that reduce stress and make me happier. Something must be working! (see below for attached pictures)

I know that alopecia world often supports acceptance of the situation, which is absolutely great. I have accepted what has happened to me and I actually feel more beautiful now than I ever have, even when I had my hair. But for me, I will never stop believing that my hair will grow back the way it was. Keep up that positivity and never give up!
