About Me:
I am all about adventure sports stuff, street bikes, planes, scuba, motoX. I live to explore new places, my favorite so far is Costa Rica but if I had the money ??? It's a big world !!
I first got AA about 3-4 years ago. It was very slow at first but eventually ate up my entire scalp. After having exhausted myself with every possible treatment I have finally begun to accept who I am now ( John Travolta and Bruce Willis help ) hahahaha. I wish I had my hair but I won't let AA define who I am, or what I'm going to accomplish!
If you have AA AT AU and you see me on the street give me a shout!
For anyone newer to this than me, remember the people and things that make your life great have nothing to do with hair!!
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia totalis
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

    So, you have done injections in your brows? I have never done injections at all anywhere. Maybe I should try my eyebrows? Do you think trying injections for the first time could cause eye problems? Let me know how the squaric acid goes. I am very interested!

    Hi Joel! Thanks for your note! I just started snowboarding last year and am completely hooked! I have a friend that lives in Rossland so it was perfect to learn at such a majestic place - Red Mountain. I'm currently working on strengthening my legs and torso, not to mention the cardio! We hope to get back out there this year again, hopefully to try some back country boarding and also head up to Revelstoke! I haven't been anywhere else worth mentioning - YET! You're very lucky to be living near the mountains, I would love to relocate out that way someday!

    Its great to meet you handsome guy! Have a great day!

    Hi Joel.

    Thanks for the comment on my discussion about Targretin Gel. I think I am going to go ahead and try it. I have has AU since January of this year so I am not sure if anything can really help me now. Keep me updated on Sulfasalazine tablets!

    Thanks for the comment, sometimes it means more when it comes for someone if no reason to care about you. Your last post made me wonder if I will ever bump into someone with alopecia or that some of the people I've passed by before I had AT had it too.

    Hi Joel, I really like your comment bout people and thing make the people not the hair. That's so true. But sometimes people have to get passed the bald part. I have been having some real strange reactions from people who know me.

    Wow! I can't believe it! Good for you! So how long have you been using it? I may want to try it. Did you have any adverse affects? I think the girl who you talked with about it is named Sarah from Houston.
