i have had aa for over 15 years, now its at its worst ever and ive stopped all treatments as it doesnt seem to work.  i have no way of knowing if ill eventually lose all my hair but each week its more and more loss.  every uiting i survive without someone noticing is a bonus im sure tne day will come when i cant hide it anymore but ihope not. any tips? can i prepare for total loss of hair?   what would u do differently if u could turn the clock back to when you still had some hair?

felt the same way as you.. as mine was getting thinner I purchased that hair color in a can that made you look like you had hair.. I was trying to avoid what I knew was coming.. eventually I had to purchase a wig.. pretty good one at that as it does look real no one knows unless I tell them I have AU...wish you the best on your journey.. mines been gone 5 yrs now and no change.. I keep hoping for change but none.. I just take it day by day

Sharon..I am sorry you are going through this. I know exactly how you are feeling. I have had AU for about 6 months now.  Wish someone could give me some great coping advice. All I can say is you are still the same person as you were.....it has happened for a reason..we will know someday what that reason is.  In the meantime, try not to let it get you down. My family is very supportive and that helps me so much. Hope you have the same!

Hello Sharon, I have AU, loosed my hair and had it back but now I'm loosing it again, Don't have eye brows or lashes. Right now I have many spots in my hair, I used to take immunosuppresseurs and corticoids but I stoped taking them, but I still put MINOXIDIL lotion, I see alot of hair regrowing those days, I'm in between, sometimes I tell my self there are those regrowing hairs, and don't loose hope, and sometimes I have a really envahissent feeling of shaving all my hair and be bold because I'm always thinking about the day I'll loose it, so I think of shaving it rather seeing it fall day by day ( a way of preparing my self).. I'm so disturbed but I still have hope with those hairs regrowing .

What I can tell you, is accepte your self, with or with out hair, start by your self, don't think alot about what other people would say..  and we are beautiful with or with out hairs :) 

God bless you
