    I don't know if you are willing to do this, but I just registered for the National Alopecia Research at MD Anderson. They contacted me back right away because Della is a twin. I guess they are in real need of twins where only one is effected. I guess they get so much more information this way. Anyways, Della will be top on the list if they find a cure or a promising treatment. But, I read that you don't like to use medications much, unless it is life saving. But I bet it would be great if you could sign up your boys. All they need are some pictures, a history, and some blood samples. I am hesitant about the blood samples, but I figure maybe they will find a cure in Della's life time.

    YEAH! Only one of my twins are effected as well. We have a cousin that has alopecia as well, but when he was a child (he's 21 now) he used to pull his hair out.
