Happy Thanksgiving from me also. Even though we all have this crummy condition there are so many things to be thankful for so I am forgetting FAA tomorrow except being thankful for this group and realizing there are other women having similiar feelings.
I too am interested in the nutrition question.

Jules, I would like to hear about the effects of diet and other supplements as well. Although I don't know if it would help me regain hair, if it would make my existing hair stronger that would be good. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from the US! I am thankful that I found this group and that we all have a place we can come and talk about this condition with others who understand. Have a good day!

celia, I have a question for Dr. haries. Dr. vera Price, who has done much of the research here in the US says that Actos can work for FFA. can you ask him about it. She says that is the only drug which has shown to stop the hair loss. The other drugs just control the itching, burning, etc.

by the way, the white flaking is not the cream. It is our scalp reacting to the inflammation. it is called scaling.

I know, it is not a holiday for you, but tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US. So, I want to wish us all a Happy Thanksgiving. And to my friends in the UK, thanks!

Celia, also dont be upset after the tatooing. Your brows will be really, really dark. it is a shock after not having any for a while. Just be patient, they will fade. I just had a touch up last Saturday because they were so light.

Bold - but hairy.... sounds good to me!

Hi everyone. Celia, I hope Dr Harries is worth the trip. I've booked a travelodge for the night before my appt with him because it's quite early. The danger is that we pin too much hope on him. I'd be interested to know what he thinks about hair products - for styling or colouring. Should we avoid them or can he recommend any? Also, is there anything - such as supplements or particular foods - that might either aggravate the condition and be avoided, or help hair growth and be included in our diet? I'm just desparate to be doing something, anything! I'd dye my hair green if it helped!

True....... Recently, before I knew I had FAA, I visited my family and forgot my eye makeup --- my grandchildren were fascinated!! My grandson kept telling people "Look! my grandma doesn't have eyebrows!!"

What would be worse is if you only put one on!

No, it really doesn't itch, only occasionally. I guess I am lucky. Thanks for the tip on Good Person. Are you happy with them (tatoos)?
Yesterday I bought a chubby eyebrow pencil from Clinque - I think I can learn to do it but what a PAIN!! (especially when I go out, forgetting that I didn't put it on!!!!)

It is good that the redness is gone. Does your head itch or burn like mine?
