Hi, I was first diagnosed with CTE then AA then my doctor told me it could be either one he wasn't sure. It has not stopped. I also lose hair from all over my body not just my scalp. My eyelashes, eyebrows, and vellus hair from all over my body. I do always have some new growth but it falls out alot too. I don't know how many hairs I lose a day. I stopped counting that the first year it started. It just makes me more sad. How about you? How long have you suffered with CTE? What do you do to try to help it? Do people lose alot of body hair with CTE? iI just wish I knew for sure what I have. Well anyway You have a wonderful night!! Erin

Mi espanol no es bueno, pero quizas puedo hablar con tu en "inbox." Entiendo que esta es un sitio para conversaciones de alopecia o sentimientos, pero cuando una persona no escucha lo que otros dice y continua con problemos mismos por muchas meces, entonces ayuda profesional es la solucion mejor. Algunas problemas son mas que physical, y es facil a llorar con alopecia cuando no hay paz de corazon. Ojala que entiendes mis palabras.

Hi Anita, SO sorry I didn't reply. Well, your doctor IS WRONG. Yes, you can have areata without spots. It's called diffuse alopecia areata...meaning the hair falls out all over without spots. Chances are that your doctor has not seen it before...it is pretty rare. My doctor is a well known hair specialist doctor, I just told him my symptoms which included my nails too.
