Heya Ailin! Sorry, I haven't logged in for a long while! Hope all is well with ya! My eyebrows are thinning too...oh wells actually they come and go so I've learnt to draw them in pretty ok :) Talk to ya soon!

I went to a hair specialist at a reputable hospital. I had a biopsy a long time ago that suggested that I had FPB. But it was not adding up for me because I was losing hair allover. So, it wasn't until I went to the specialist that I found out that I had diffuse alopecia areata...which made more sense. Besides, my hair had fallen out and then grew back somewhat...that doesn't really happen with FPB. Now, it's falling out again. How can you be sure your hair isn't falling out because of your thyroid?

Hi Ailin, welcome to AW. It may not be any of my business, and I may be wrong, but I don't it's usually the norm for someone with FPB to also lose her eyebrows. Are you sure you have FPB? The reason I ask is that I was diagnosed as having FPB...losing eyebrows and such. But it turned out that I have diffuse alopecia areata.

Post a picture... that helps the process of self acceptance. There are a lot of people in MI with alopecia... There are some on this website that have had alopecia all of their lives and can share what it was like in middle school and high school dealing with it. What part of MI do you live?

Hi Ailin, Welcome...I hope you are doing good! I am new to AW. I had a biopsy a couple of months ago and it confirmed AGA or FPB. I was looking at the newest members, hoping to find someone who might live in IN or even a nearby state and was amazed there are so many and I'm not alone! I noticed you have the same Alopecia I am battling. I was so tired of what little hair I had left I shaved it off Sunday...sometimes, I still can't believe I actually/finally did it! If you need someone to talk to, message me. Christy
