Hi VG, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi VG,
I saw your comment on the Newly Diagnosed group page. Just wanted to say that yes, there is always a chance your hair can grow back. The follicles never die, so there is always hope. Unfortunately there's absolutely no way of knowing what will happen with the disease for every individual.
As for your comment back to Cheryl below (she probably won't see this...if you want to comment someone, click comment back so the comment will appear on their page instead of yours)...you could try clicking on MEMBERS in the menu across the top and type in locations in the search field. Or click on GROUPS at the top to see if there are any groups set up for people from your area. If not you could create one and see if anyone joins. Otherwise, click here for a list of support groups in your area through NAAF: Mid-Atlantic Support Groups. Through the NAAF, you can also get telephone support if there isn't a support group close to you: Telephone Support.
