Celia, I think the problem is that our autoimmune systems are in overdrive, which isn't healthy.  Something has caused our autoimmune systems to overreact and attack our own bodies.  I've been healthy my entire life and taken good care of myself by exercising and eating healthy.  I do have seasonal allergies, but I've never been sick other than an occasional cold or flu.  My doctor said it shows God has a sense of humor.

Interesting !  We are all trying to stay healthy and eat all the right things, and as Jean said 'improve auto-immune systems' .  I am going to ask a dumb question now...............why are we offered drugs to suppress the auto-immune system on the premise that it is the AI system that is attacking healthy hair follicles and destroying them so that they scar over.  I was offered ACTOS but declined as it can, in suppressing the AI system, leave the user less likely to fight infection, that is just one side effect that may happen.

Jean... this does actually make sense to me... after I had my eyebrows tattooed I have not lost any more hair from my eyebrows... I did not regrow any but the hair loss in this area has halted... this is one of the reasons I got my eyelash enhancements done back in June this year, I was hoping to trigger the same effect... touch wood and my eyelashes have not remained stable since I had the tattoo in this area.  I have heard of this from other people too.  I can only think the action of the tattoo needle somehow stimulates extra cellular activity which prevents hair loss.... whatever it is I would definately recommend trying it.

I don't know whether this is helpful but for what it's worth............

I'm not too concerned about what's happening with the scalp (prescribed local medication/shampoo) but I've been trying to improve my autoimmune system as I also suffer with arthritis and psoriasis.  To this end, I've been seeing a Chinese practitioner for acupuncture and pills to sort out my gut.  He's also given me an 'instrument' which looks like a long flexible pipe with seven sharp pins at the end.  I have to use it to  whack my head (not where I've lost hair but the bit between there and my crown) for 5 minutes on alternate days!!!  Sounds bizarre but Belinda Hale (eyebrow lady) was telling me that an FFA sufferer had successfully grown eyelashes following an eyelid tattoo and I've now got  a few hairs growing on my eyebrows following a tattoo.  Perhaps it's something to do with stimulating the skin and with no other tried and tested solutions in the offing I'm going to continue with the 'Chinese torture'.  It's only been 3 weeks so far and I'll obviously share any results (ever the optimist) with you lovely FFA sufferers.

Ever hopeful - Jean

I took doxy for years for another condition. Be sure to drink plenty of water with it.

Rita thanks for that info.  I have taken my 4th dose of doxycycline tonight and so far no tummy probs.  However  I will be defiinately going to the health food shop tomorrow to get a probiotic as we are going to be on this drug for several months so we do need to be extra careful.

Debs, I have been on Doxycycline, taking it at dinner and have taken a good strong probiotic @ bed as I was told at health food store to keep those 2 apart . Anyway, no stomach problems.

Ann thanks for that info... I will try it too.  thanks ladies with reassurance that the dents do fill in after injections... if the doxycyline doesn't work I may have to try the steriod injections as a last resort.   I am going to use a probiotic whilst on the doxycline to after reading all your advice.  thanks v much.

Looked at dream hair blending site and it says its out of stock until after November 15th! It does look amazing in the claims it makes.

I can`t see how it would attach to cover the sides and front hairline though, as it appears to be a system which uses your existing hair, to pull through a net to add the new hair piece.

Just followed a link on this site to Dream Hair Blending Enhancements website. Sounds too good to be true! If anyone wants to take a look, it would be interesting to know what others make of it. X
