Steph, thanks for your comment back. It is always on my mind too to the point of obsession. It started before I was diagnosed and after diagnosis was able to put it out of my mind for a bit with the thought that there isn't anything I can really do to change it so just accept it. But I'm back to obsessing thinking it looks like I've lost a bit more right around the biopsy area. I think being single is what makes me worry more. It's nice to hear Steph, that your partner is supportive. My family says it's not noticeable but I constantly worry that it will get worse and then what if i look worse and can't find someone, yada yada. I know it's stupid, and I shouldn't worry. Any suggestions or advice from anyone?

I'm responding to Brenda fro IL--I too have tried to make peace and accept this condition for what it is...I just invested in a topper that was made for me and still getting used to the idea of wearing it but even my son and husband didn't initially notice....they thought I had just had a blow out!    I too have tried injections, different meds. foam-and finally decided it was time to smile and move forward.   (Not always easy but necessary for my sanity)  Thanks1

My dermatologist tells me that Latisse will grow here on 'anything'.....but that is not always the case, from what I have read here.  Some cannot use it at all because it is very irritating to the skin, or can be.  It is also expensive.  However, it is worth a shot I think for anyone who wants to try it for eyebrows or lashes .

I bought Latisse a while ago to try to save/regrow my eyebrows. I only had a few left. The hairs that were there got longer and a little thicker but I didn't see any new growth. I recently resumed for my eyelashes because they seem to be thinning and I think it is helping. I throw the excess over my bare eyebrows (now tattooed) for the heck of it and have seen nothing. This has been since September.

I already have lost my eyebrows.  Do you think the Latisse will work to bring them back?

Most insurance plans in the U.S. (not sure where you are located) won't cover it unless you are diagnosed with glaucoma (the original intent of this medicine). I always ask my derm for a 1 year prescription (12 bottles) and then I order them through a Canadian pharmacy in 3 bottle increments. Three bottles cost a little less than $60...which lasts me for at least 3 months. This is the pharmacy I use and they have always been reliable.  http://www.bigmountaindrugs.com/   Also, I order Bimatoprost [Generic version of Lumigan] .03% 3 ml. bottles (Lumigan is the same as Latisse here in the US).

Thank you, Maddy : )  That makes me feel better again gaining hair back...Latisse is so expensive, so I am just curious if it were written as a prescription here, would my insurance cover it ?  I am writing down the generic name to help.  Much appreciated!

I have been using Latisse on my eyebrows and eyelashes for years (basically since I first started noticing loss) and it works for me. I get a prescription from my dermatologist and order it from Canada (generic Bimatoprost) and I am almost positive that this has saved my eyebrows.

Hello all-  I am curious about the use of Latisse to grow eyebrows back. After 4 weeks of topical steroid spray, this is the recommendation of my dermatologist to get hair back.  Has anyone had any success with this product?

I haven't been on here in a long time.  Thought the FFA had burned itself out.  Had to stop plaquenil that i'd been on for lupus since 2011, plus a major stress in my life and I've now lost another half inch all around my face.  Can't hide it anymore. I have to decide on a wig or topper or just shave my head.  I've tried just about every diet, cream, foam, injection, etc.  Acceptance is all that's left.
