"Wanting hair is not "selfish", Joan. Like it or not, we live in a society that judges you by your appearance. "...only you care if you have no hair"? Is that not enough? No, stress does not cause alopecia…"

"Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate all your advice and feedback. It definitely helps hearing someone else's experience! Take care!"
"I understand how you must feel Hanna. I am 36 years old and never had alopecia before I reached the age of 35, but the AA onset for me began in November 2019 and progressed during the early part of the COVID pandemic. I had never been so…"
"I am on the same page and am skeptical about getting the vaccine. I am not an anti vaxer, but I have dealt with alopecia two times. I am not sure what triggered these episodes but the first time I had AT(lasted about 3 years then full regrowth) and…"
"You are right. Everything is new in the pandemic. But I will be very straight forward. What good would her hair be with her life threatened by Corona in an ICU? Protect your life and then take care of your hair. Get vaccinated now!"
"This is great info! Thank you so much! I am excited to look into Tofacinix!"

"Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond with your thoughts and experiences. I should have started with the fact that I am not an anti vaxer but do have concerns of how the vaccine could affect my health while I am still in the process of…"
"Donna,
I absolutely agree...I've had AA for almost three decades and I wouldn't think twice about placing hair loss over my life.
I'm glad your daughter survived, and do hope she's taking care of her mental health...she…"

How is everything with you, my name is Adudé Fafa Akue, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(adudeakuea@gmail.com) for the full details.
