"Elle, I was in my mid 50's when my hair started to fall out. It started with just two round patches in the back. Because my hair was long, I could pull it back and cover the bald spots. As time went on, more and more bald spots appeared until…"

About Me:
I first had alopecia areata at age 10. It was difficult for several years and then by college it had mostly stabilized. Then at age 43, several days after a traumatic loss, my hair began falling out noticeably. After two months or so, I'd lost all the hair on my head. After three months, I began losing my eyelashes and eyebrows.
