Hello. I have been diagnosed with alopecia areata. I have only had it for about a month and have many patches all over my head. I was just put on prednisone for 24 days and a topical cream. I was hoping someone here has had experience with prednisone and if it did any good. Also, if you have many patches, at what point do you know if you might lose eybrows or go totally bald? I am in need of support, This is just happening so fast. Thanks. 

I am here to ultimately say, that yes shaving my head was one of the hardest things I have had to do, but I have gained a lot of self confidence since. I no longer want to turn away in the mirror but have never seen myself as beautiful as I do now. My alopecia has motivated me to get more active and healthy in my lifestyle and become more outgoing. Although sometimes, days can be hard and of course firsts are always hard. Your first time shaving your head to start and following, your first…

I thought I would write a quick blog about my experience. I am currently 38 years old. I had a full head of hair for 37 years. I lost my older brother three years ago and was severely depressed as he was my best friend. Shortly after I noticed my beard was thinning out then about a year later I had a bald spot on the back of my head that my barber noticed. Very quickly I progressed to universalis. Needless to say I was shocked at losing my hair and how fast it progressed. I work as an…

So I know I shouldn't be shock or numb but for the past 4 yrs I have been so blessed with a lil one who know no different when it come to someone with or without hair. he runs around like nothing is wrong and I'm so grateful for that. 

Please send me a message or a reply if you would like to help me with an art project.  I only need your answers (no biographical information tied to you or your name).

1)  About how long ago were you diagnosed with Alopecia and about how long has your hair loss been noticeable?

2)  Have you ever been bald in public?  If so, what gave you the courage to leave your home bald?

3)  Have you ever been bald in public?  If not, what would give you the confidence to do so?…

(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28884378) Here is the link on the study that honestly lead me to this website. I am extremely pleased with the way the research was conducted and the detail to which it was conducted. It was published by an MD/PhD which if you dont know gives them even more credibility. Basically in America our brightest minds go into the medical field but in Asia their brightest minds go into biomedical research…

It will be a year now since i have shaved my head. Well the few patches of hair that still stood strong. And i can say this year has been a crazy train. I was getting steroid injections every 4 weeks last year up until the point i shaved my head. Soon after, i noticed a hump on my upper back. I also gained some weight. Came to find out i developed Cushings Syndrome from the steroids. Long story short i am still battling weight loss and still have the buffalo hump......

Other than that…

I was 16 - I had a full head of hair for the first time since I was 3. I started taking birth control pills, which totally set my hair progress back to zero - if you're a girl in her teens with alopecia, just don't. I was completely bald again for the first time since I was a toddler. I decided to completely shave my head rather than look at the thinning gold curls that remained on my head every day.…

Everyday, I seem to find some way to blame myself and my own body for giving me alopecia at such a crucial time of my life. I hold on to too many things in my life and my hair loss is one of them.

One of the more challenging ideas to have with this is condition is dating. While I've recently, in the past year, got out of a long term relationship on mutual terms, I still can't help but think about her daily, wondering if this condition pushed me to a point of depression that affected…

Hi, I live in Grand Junction, Co and am wondering if there are any ladies out there that live in my vicinity? I would love to start a hair loss support group where we meet in person to support each other. Hair loss can feel devastating....but it does get much better with acceptance and making peace with it. It would be so nice to meet other ladies that are going through this to have that mutual support and understanding.  God bless you, Connie

Has anyone tried the product Autoimmune-X by Dr. Ronald P. Drucker? Any success? Used the product as indicated for the appropriate length of time?? Curious if this is junk science.

This is my second blog on this site.Now I feel a bit better with all your support. Whenever I feel depressed about my alopecia condition, I am just visiting this site and read all the sad stories which are same as mine. Tears were rolling down my cheeks while I am writing this. Now I realized that I can't grow hair again and I should remain bald for this lifetime. It is more difficult to digest but I am setting up my brain that "this is what I am going to be for this lifetime".

I can help getting Xeljanz from Mexico. If interested let me know. Just got my 56 pill supply today.

It's way past my 9-5 working person's bedtime, so this may or may not be coherent. I just feel compelled to throw it out there rather than keep it rolling around between my ears.

I have a job that's nowhere near anything I went to school for. I was lucky to get it right before the financial crisis, it's done a lot of great things for me, and it's stable, but it's not the kind of thing I see myself doing forever (though the fact I've stayed in it the better part of 10 years would…

Hellooooo everybody!

Wow it's been a long time since I've been on the site.  I have missed seeing all the smiles and reading all the stories,  but my prayers and positive vibes have been sent continually.  

I lost my hair in a quick fashion 17 years ago.  It was a 3 week whirlwind of hairloss and wow, it was scary.  Doctors didn't know very much about Alopecia then (well, at least my doctors didn't) and they kept telling me it was just stress.  Sigh.  Have you heard that…
