We'll I was diagnosed with Alopecia on Dec 23 2013. Jan 1 2014. I decided with my daughter (22) and son (17) to just shave my hair off. It was stressing me out to wake up every day with less hair. I posted a couple of pictures of me bald. I'm ok with it sometimes. I don't think I will get use to strangers looks. My parents cried when the day came to shave my hair. I work three jobs and my husband of 25 years was murdered on April 18 2011. My life is very stressful I never have time to eat or drink. But I'm learning how to live day by day.

Hi all! I was diagnosed with AA about one month ago. I've lost, I would say, half of my hair. I realized back in June that my hair was falling out like crazy and it scared me really bad. I don't have anyone in my family that has had this. My Derm told me that it is most likely from extreme stress. I lost both of my parents within a year of each other and I was VERY close to the both of them. At the same time of my fathers death I lost all of my belongings. I really do believe all of that together caused my hair to fall out.
I have a lot of itching with mine but no pain. I have started the injections, boy do they hurt! I have huge knots on my head the day after the injections. They're no fun but hopefully it will help regrowth.

Bruce, my head definitely itches right before a patch shows up. I've only had the condition for a month, but 2 new patches showed up this week and they itched. It also hurts a bit around them, too, as if the hair has been pulled.

Jaclyn, I would have to agree with you, that I find it easier to be the "bald girl" than the "balding girl", although I have had alopecia for over 20 years that sometimes I get lazy and do not want to shave my spots. I am also ok with going out with the spots. I find I really want my clean shaved head for weekends and when I am dressing more business or formal.

My eye doctor suggested latisse to help with eyelashes and said try it for eyebrows. He said researchers are trying to make it for the head. It was original for glacoma but the sit affect was growth and thickness of eyelashes.
