About Me:
I'm 22 years old and have been dealing with AA. I lost all of my hair in December 2007 (my freshman year of college). Summer before sophomore year I got turned onto an oriental medicine/homeopath/nutritionist, who helped me slowly but surely grow my hair back. I finally went wig-less May 2011. I did not quite stick to the program, and now in November 2011 I've got some serious patches. Getting back on the horse and hopefully regaining what I've lost!

    E Ski...Hello, just found your page. What type of oriental homeopathic things do you do/try/use? I have a friend who keeps telling me to go that route, but I know nothing about it. He says going to a dr. is a waste of my money. Dr. says it is just stress...geez, I am not THAT stressed!! We all have stress!! Derm. gives me no verdict after the laundry list of bloodwork I did. Now on thryoid meds, as I told dr. maybe thyroid..but even still, it wasn't THAT bad...And no hair is regrowing, but still falling out. Been the Nioxin route, biotin, vitamin B, nothing helps. Please let me know something. Thanks so much.

    Yes there are other's that have it way worse! When I get on to this site, I see that because I have it pretty good right now. I hide mine very well & a lot of my close friends don't even know I have hair loss. I just got started getting the steroid injections on a regular basis less than a year ago. It has really helped my situation along with doing meds @ home. I am going to check into what you suggested. Thanks!

    E SKi, thanks so much for your response. I will now have something more to google and research. Problem of course is always could I even afford to go that route anyway, being unemployed for what seems like forever. That's another topic in itself, such as going out for an interview "dressed for success" and feeling like my "hair" is hindering my opportunities, or do I wear a wig and make them wonder ..ok, like I say, a whole other topic, right? I know, everybody's reasons for hair loss are different, so how dare so many drs. just jump to the easy answer...it is stress ?
