Bonjour Lise-Marie,
Merci pour ton gentil commentaire :)
C'est plaisant de voir qu'il y a de plus en plus de francophones sur ce site! J'ai plus de facilité à m'exprimer en français qu'en anglais.
Au plaisir d'échanger donc!

Hi Lise! I love your name. While taking French classes in school, Lise was always the name my best friend went by. Still call her that sometimes. :) Hope you're having a good day.
Hi Lise,
Thank you for the nice comment. Welcome to Alopecia World. I love your attitude, it's much like mine. I am having some baseball caps made with various "bald" sayings on them. When they come in, I would love to show them to you and send you one if you'd like. Take care and thanx again for the nice comment. I will keep in touch.
Love and Hugs,
Dotty
When I finally found a doctor who just knew why I was bald, I was 23 yrs old, I had been bald for over 15 yrs. I did 5 yrs of injections, every two weeks, and counted average 100 needle pricks, and took oral steroids on and off. Some hair did grow back. For me, I had been universalis for too many years, and the longer your folicles stay dormant, the harder it is to regrow. I had a friend, introduced by the doctor, who also had universalis, but because she went and got shots right away, her hair did grow back, and last I seen her, about 5 yrs ago, she still had a full head of hair.
When your doing shots, its very important to try not wearing a wig, hair band, kerchief, or anything. Especially now that summer is coming with the wonderful vitamin of the sun. Anything like a hat, can cause pressure alopecia, and stop or delay hair growth. Also, I found days that it was cold, it hurt more, so when you do go, and after, do whatever you need to do to keep yourself comfortable, and warm.
