Hi all, firstly I would like to thank all the people who have set up this site it's a great help.
I first developed alopecia when i was around 18, Im now 28 and it's the worst it's ever been so I decided to go the shave a year ago.
I have mainly just used minoxidil which had given some growth but nothing really lasts, I have never been keen to try steroids but have kept a good diet, fitness and am now taking a vitamin compound as I had some deficiencies... still nothing.
I have been to homeopaths and dermatologist's and am now thinking phycologist to treat anxiety/ depression. The problem is I think the problem is the cause of the ongoing problem and most of this anxiety/ depression has come from aa. I really want to just stop trying treatment but aa always keeps me hanging in there as it comes and goes for no real reason but just when I think I'm getting progress then I find another spot.
I guess I'm just looking for some suggestions and experiences from other sufferers. I have no problem going bald but when it comes and goes and I don't know why it makes me stressed then I think the stress causes the aa.
Thanks for listening
Mark
