About Me:
I am a 40 year old mom to two wonderful children. I work full time outside the home. I live in the Mid-West and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. My daughter is 9 and my son, Luke is 7. Luke was diagnosed with AA back in March of 08. We saw a dermatologist who had us try several approaches to regrow hair. She mentioned UV therapy which basically means let him get sun on his head. We stopped all other treatments and did this all summer and guess what? Luke had a 100% regrowth for well over a year. In Feb. 2010 we started to notice this coming back. I was heartbroken. We went back to the Vitamin D supplements and more exposure outdoor sun. This seemed to halt the AA again. For us, it seems that UV and Vit. D is the trick. Luke's hair still doesn't grow as fast as it used to and still seems a lot thinner so we always just watch and worry.
