I cured my alopecia areata!

Yup, sure did. Mine is Lupus based, but it still may work for most people. It has to do with the thyroid not processing Biotin and Iodine properly.

You can take a lot of biotin over the normal… Continue

What are your quips?

I am just starting to get to the point where I'm wearing caps in public, and I'm not ruling out shaving my head in the future. One person said that I should have some quips ready for "comments" strangers will say or ask. I was wondering what your guys' examples were? :)

International Alopecia Day is Saturday, August 3, 2013!

International Alopecia Day ® is – Saturday, August 3, 2013! Be a part of this year’s YouTube video slide show of International Alopecia Day around the world!

International Alopecia Day began several years ago. My idea was for there to be a day when people with Alopecia Areata could celebrate who we are, and perhaps try going out in public bald for the first time in the company of others with Alopecia. The more cities and countries we have participating each year, the more IAD will…
