About Me:
Just trying to learn more. My hair has been thinning for the last few years now... to the point where I don't feel comfortable wearing it down anymore. I'm not losing a lot at any given time... it just seems gradual. My doctor did all the blood tests and I've used shampoos and topical steroids...etc... but she can't figure out what's going on. If I eventually lose all of my hair... I'm ok with that, I just want to make sure everything else is ok on the inside!! It's frustrating, and I have my down moments... but it's just hair.

Other type of alopecia
Are you age 18 or older?

This is the worst day I've had in a long time

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 11:30am 11 Comments

This is the worst day I've had in a long time. I spent two hours in the bathroom looking at and playing with my hair to try and figure out how bad it might look in public. I know I shouldn't care. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I hate listening to my friends fuss over how they hate their hair when all I see is thick beautiful hair on their heads. My husband says I'm the only one who really notices. Maybe that's true. I wish I could just shave my head and feel like it would be socially…

Superficial rant!

Posted on April 12, 2010 at 7:17pm 6 Comments

I just need to have a superficial rant for a few minutes! So... I'm sick of analyzing my scalp every day. I'm sick of wondering what I will look like 6 months from now. I'm sick of scrutinizing other women's hair to find someone whose scalp looks like mine. Mostly, I'm sick and tired of worrying that there is some other underlying cause for all of this that no one is finding. My doctor said everything looks "normal"... or is "in range". So why can't I just trust that that is truth and move on… Continue

Hi Alison,
I can totally relate - I've had AA for awhile, but my whole head started thinning really badly about two years ago. I did a food sensitivity blood test and found that I was sensitive to a number of foods - coffee being the WORST! After changing my diet (and adding some supplements) to eliminating wheat/gluten and various other foods, my hair has grown back fully and I have no spots. Hope this helps!

Yes it can be very annoying to watch people with thick heads of hair, but i have come to not pay attention to thier heads but whats in it and their life. Are they happier because they have hair, have a better job or have better relationships. i have had to rethink things in order to realize that even though this sucks and the day they come up with something for us to get our hair back i will literally step on heads to be first in line (lol) i will not take anything else for granted and i will improve what i can (working out,going to school, clear skin) and keep pushing forward I know how you feel and if you ever want to talk i'm here

Hi Allison. My hair started thinning about two years ago now. I went through biopsies and treatments and even met with Vera Price at UCSF who is the leading expert on female hair losss because I didnt understand why my hair was thinning. I have come to the final conclusion after all the tests possible and vitamins and doc appts that I have adrogentic alopecia. If your blood work is normal, I feel sure you are perfectly healthy. I understand first hand how tough it can be watching your hair thin. If you ever want someone to talk to, let me know :)
