Started by NorthCarolinaMama. Last reply by lordiron Nov 25, 2024. 10 Replies

Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Started by Robin. Last reply by anettemandell Apr 20, 2023. 31 Replies

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

Thank you all for the eyebrow tattoo feedback. I had my consult today and I will likely go through with it, once I get the courage up. The permanent nature of it puts me in a bit of a panic, yet I love the thought of not having to deal with makeup and swimming without looking like an alien. I started using Latisee two weeks ago, and even though it's too soon to tell, I am noticing some slight re growth. Would a tattoo hamper any potential re growth?

Hi Celia, really looking forward to our meeting next week - please can you send me your address and also a taxi firm phone number, I will be coming by train again.
Also are you still taking lymecycline and if not did you notice any changes when you stopped? I've taken the last tablet today of my 2 month prescription and my scalp has felt so good during that time that I'm concerned what will happen now..

Thank you Jules for your participation in the telephone conference and the research sounds very interesting. Look forward to hearing more about it on 22nd.

I had my eyebrows done at the end of January and I'm very happy with them, it's great not having to pencil them in every morning and they look so much better than I could ever do.

Sounds good Julie - well done  !  Claire I hope you got the address for the 22nd.

Sorry, that shpuld read Jules!
C, do you want to add this feedback to our agenda at our get-together and I could bring my paperwork to date?
Comment by Jules UK on March 13, 2014 at 7:07am
Thank you, ladies, for your encouragement! The tele-conference was really interesting. As first contact between steering group members, it was about clarifying roles and responsibilities, agreeing the scope of the PSP protocol,(as outlined briefly on alopecia UK) and setting the agenda for the meeting in London in May. The ultimate aim is to identify questions about treatment unanswered by research to date, and to prioritise them in order to approach "partners" who could secure funding for targeted research. The whole process will take 14-18 months, and we will be invited to participate in completing surveys to help narrow the issues that concern us most. It's an established protocol that has worked for other conditions such as acne and vitiligo. The group has dermatologists, a trichologist, a psychologist, a wig technician plus alopecia sufferers.
This is a bit of a ramble and probably enough for now. But I hope the process will produce real results in raising the profile of our condition and encouraging research!! Please have a think, in the meantime, about what survey questions would be important to us. The meeting in May will be about compiling the first online survey....
