Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Hello,Thought I’d share my experience, as one of the few men with FFA, in the hope that it will be useful to others. It’s possible that the condition progresses and responds differently in men. I’m 40, live in London and otherwise healthy.I first…Continue

Hi. Is Dr Harries a private doctor? I cant understand why I was prescribed 8 weeks of antibiotics and 8 weeks of steriods when I have no irritation. I stopped both early (although safely!)Would you tell Dr Harris about the possible heredity factor because my mum has FFA to. My mum has no eyebrows. I on the other hand have lost half of 1 eyebrow! Im thinking seriously about contacting Channel 4 and asking to appear on Embaressing Illneses. Myabe I'd get some answers, and then again maybe not!

Hello All, Celia I am glad you are sorting out your brows, I will go along to this clinic in Chertsey when mine need a top up, had them done last November and they are still dark, have faded a little but it will be awhile before I need to touch them again. Went to a lovely Christmas fayre in London yesterday and had lunch. I wore a wig. My 2 girlfriends know about my FFA and saw me in a wig back in Sept. I wore a bob with a fringe, a Gisele Mayer, they both liked it. Nobody stared at me! A young woman working a a restaurant was wearing a very nice long wig herself, I knew because it was similar to a long wig I have purchased but my girlfriends had no idea she was in a wig and in fact my friend Sally commented on what lovely hair she had! Going to wear my wigs to several events in Dec to gain confiidence before going into them full time in Jan. Can't wait to hear Celia what Dr Harries says. Have a lovely week. Hope all the ladies in the USA had a fab thanksgiving. XX
Rather belated Thanksgiving wishes to all of you celebrating today.
Celia - can you tell us where you found the new site that mentions Dr Harries?
Reading all your posts has been good for me as it makes me feel I am one of the more fortunate ones. I have no itching, flaking or redness, and I have lost only a small bit of one eyebrow. All I have is the loss of hair :-( and the characteristic pale skin. We have noted the variety of treatments we are getting, but I wonder if Dr Harries will have any ideas on why our symptoms vary so much also.
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!
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!
