I am in my 30's and have had Alopecia areata for about past 12 years, on and off. In the past 2 years it got progressively worse, with no sign of improving. I believe that stress has also played a major role in my hair loss.
I havent found any treatment that works yet, natural or conventional but I keep my ears to the ground.
I would love to connect with fellow South African's and pool resources and knowledge.

I am 36 years and have been living with AA all my life...but I did,nt have any from the age of 13 till about 21 then it with a vengeance by 30 I lost alllll my hair ....But I have accepted that this is me...not always easy ....
Thank you Kim. Your words also ring true. I too keep trying and I just don't want to give up. However, other than transplant there aren't too many options. and I don't want to try that. acupuncture is one option I haven't tried so I'm looking around for one acupuncturist. At any rate I intend to enjoy life . As you say one life one chance!!!!

You know you have Ophiasis, right? Join my group. I also have this pattern. Hair loss on the nape of my neck, and up around my ears.
