Hey Nic, How's it going? I'm from Aberdeen too!! Yey!
I have AU, and have had if for about 4 months now...at Christmas I was a full natural blonde, but not so much anymore. I have already got myself some great wigs though, and am pretty pleased with it all! Although you may be a bit annoyed at your GP for saying what he did unfortunately its probably all he could say as the general concensus is that there is not a lot to help or prevent it. Anyway, I know a great dermatologist in Aberdeen, if you want I can give you his name. He told me what was happening, honestly and then helped me to deal with it. He also told me about all the different treaments available and wht is good and bad about them. He really knows his stuff and is very kind.
Anyway, I hope that things do get better for you and us lot are always here for those random alopecia questions you wouldn't dare to ask anyone else!
Cheers

Hey there NIc,
my mum was diagnosed with alopecia last year, and unfortunately she dealt with it quite badly. As a result when it came to doing my dissertation at uni, I thought looking into the affects hair loss has in women would be an interesting eye opening topic to research. I however need to carry out some interviews with women in the UK suffering from alopecia, so if you would be willing to take part let me know, if not no problem.
