    Hi Dana,
    I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. Check it out on my page -- and let me know how else I can help.

    Hey there. I have just been told I have AA also. I have my own hair still, however, it's getting harder and harder to hide the spots. Have you learned any more about it? I got on here to do the same thing, cope and learn more. I am from Chicago. Have a big family reunion in Aug '09. Can't wait. I have't been back in years.

    Hi Dana, I noticed you were asking someone about calosol. I used it for around 4 yrs and had about 95% regrowth, until I tried to let my hair grow out a little bit and stop shaving it, but when it got about 2 inches long it started falling out again. I shaved it again and stopped all treatment about 8 months ago, now it is slowing starting to come back again so who knows if it works. I think it mainly helped me becuase it gave me something to believe in at the time when I felt helpless. Hope this helps
