About Me:
I was diagnosed with Alopecia areata by my Doctor February 16th. I haven't been to a dermatologist yet.. was referred, but I guess it takes a while to get an appoitment here.
I started out just noticing the one patch (about the size of a toonie) while scratching my head. Later on that night, I noticed another one the size of a dime, at the nape of my neck. Acouple weeks after that I noticed a really small one under my larger one... almost looks like a hair part, but it's round. In my larger spot there is hair growth... some blonde, some brown.. and feels to be more each day. As excited as Iam.... I know alopecia is unpredictable so iam trying not to get my hopes up.
Iam so happy to have found a place like this, it's comforting knowing I am not alone.

    Hi Meghan,
    Hi, I was reading your profile and was wondering how you were going, i was diagnosed about the same time as you. I have a patch at the back of my head, one small one at the front of my head. I have noticed at the front there are little prickly hairs, Im pretty sure these are new hairs growing back. The patch at the back feels prickly, i have very fair hair so it is hard to see if there is actually any hairs there.
    Im going back for my second visit to the dermatologist on Monday, he took a whole range of blood tests, so will see what he has to say :)
