Oh, one other thing about heredity. My doctor said that alopecia can skip a generation or generations. So it's possible that say, my great-grandmother, whom I never met, might have had it.

I was diagnosed a few years ago. One day I woke up and my part was huge - overnight! Then I got more bald spots in the back. I got cortisone shots in my head and it grew back. I worry it will start again. My hair's really thin. I have asthma and get eczema (both auto-immune) so I think they are connected.

My parents don't have AA, but auto-immune disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis) run in both my mom and dad's side of the family.

Hi I was just diagnosed today and I'm very depressed and don't know how to cope with knowing this could happen again and again :(

Hello! I'd like to meet someone with this too. I've lost my hair in the year 1975. Please get back to me. Would love to have friends.
