Hi! I'm a newbie. I'm a happily married mother of 3 beautiful children. (10,8,4) I'm a stay at home Mom and we home school our children. My husband is a Middle School Counselor. Our 4 year old was a 23 wk 0 day micro-preemie. (1 lb 7 oz, 12" long) She is a walking miracle with no deficits. 3 months ago, her hair started falling out. She has been diagnosed with AA. She has now lost half of her scalp hair and all of her body hair, except for her eyebrows and eyelashes. It is now coming out pretty quickly. Now I'm spending lots of my time researching AA and trying to find answers for my daughter. I have autoimmune disease, as do my brothers. However, AA is new to me. I want to help my children be as healthy as possible to try to keep them free from autoimmune disease. I know God has His hand on all of us and will guide our steps and use this for His glory!

We don't need hair to be beautiful... it was the least I could do for my angel. :)

Hello,
This is my first post in the group but I am always on this site. My 8 year old developed AA in October. I have had AU for the last 10 years or more. She has had regrowth in her initial spots and seems to be reacting to treatments. I have met some really amazing people on this site.

Hello Everyone, I am new here. My 2 1/2 year old daughter Maya was just diagnosed with Alopecia last week. It was quite the shock for me. I am looking for ideas on how to deal, and how to stay strong for my daughter. Finding this site was such a relief for me, since there is not much info in Canada on this.

If you have any questions about the Children's Alopecia Project please visit www.childrensalopeciaproject.org

We have information that is done along with the National Institute of Health and it is quite specific that there is no know cause for alopecia. That is the key to research, finding the trigger. I have 4 daughters, 11,10,7 and 3. Only the 10 year old has alopecia, why? She is much more brave then her sisters and her mom and I have treated her no different than her sisters but yet she has an autoimmune disease. Alopecia is cruel and there is no cure so please concern yourselves with building self-esteem and build that wonderful child of yours up to become stronger teens and productive adults. They are the advocates of the future for all forms of alopecia.

I know you all are great parents just by the fact that you are on this and other sites, just don't let the reasons why cloud the direction of your journey. Self-esteem, confidence and beyond!!!!
