About Me:
I have had alopecia areata on and off for the past 12yrs. 50% loss at its worst. Had Triamcinolone injections on and off, but not for the last two yrs. Losing hair rapidly again. My daughter, who is now 23, lost all of her hair due to alopecia universalis at 3yrs old and it has, for the most part never returned. No other member of our family, now or in the past, has ever exhibited signs of alopecia.

    Wow, that's great, being a hairdresser and having alopecia.

    I think you both would like the book! Let me know after you read it...and if you have any questions or just want to talk, I am here.

    Hugs and blessings to you both!

    Hey Vicki. Right now I am just wearing my hair in a short pixie and covering the spots I have. My hair started to grow back so I have little hairs in my bald spots but I started going through another shed :(. The top of my head is so red and inflamed. It hurts so bad and then gets itchy. A friend of mine just got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer so I told her I would shave my head with her. I have wanted to or some time but then I was ok with the pixie cut...until I started shedding again. Some spots show so I guess I will wait and see how big they get. How is the bald head? I have heard it is relieving to shave it. How did work go?
