Just recently is when I have TOTALLY accepted my AA. Please don't spend all of your life feeling sorry or hopeless. You are young and BEAUTIFUL!! You have one life to live, and time goes by so fast. Be thankful for all the good things!! For some people, it grows back and never returns.. keep your head up sweetie!!

Go to the newly Diagnosed Group, the archives, the Discussions, Videos and Blogs. Find people who share your mood and those whose mood or attitude you wish you had instead. Reach out to others in a positive way if you can help. You will survive, you know. We all survive. I have had alopecia since 1963, and am still alive and kickin'.
They now think this is genetic (see Research), so there's not much you can do about it until a cure is discovered.
