My hair began thinning in my early 20's. I was never diagnosed with alopecia but have genetic "male pattern" baldness. I'm now in my early 50s and have felt ugly for the past 30 years with the last five being the worst.
I have had UC for 12 years. Luckily I have been able to control it with meds. I was on prednisone for 3 years straight. After I got off of it my hair got really thin, but didn't totally fall out until 3 years later. These autoimmune diseases suck! I think the hair loss is even more difficult than the uc! Are you glad you had your colon removed. There was a time I thought I was going to have the sugery too. Being on prednisone is not fun at all! For some reason I am in remission!
