Inflammation

For many people the root cause of alopecia is inflammation in the body. I have had several rounds of alopecia. I have had many steroid shots and used several medicated creams. I was lucky enough to find a holistic doc who was well versed in autoimmune disease and the inflammation that contributes to alopecia. It has not been an easy route but it has been very rewarding. I have a full head of hair. It's taken me about 4-5 years to get to this point. I follow an autoimmune paleo diet-no…

If I didn't have alopecia, I would have never found my career

I haven't been on the site for quite some time. I see that in my profile I described myself as the mother of a 4 year old. Well, he is now 6. I just received a bunch of email notifications from the site, so I figured it is probably a perfect time to share my story.

I was diagnosed when I was 4--one bald spot and it came right back on its own. The bald spots returned when I was 12. By the age of 14 I had to get my first wig. Trying time as it already is, those adolescent years were…

Insecurity

I guess I do get insecure about my alopecia. The stares that come with the bald patches. Instead of asking, people just stare. I wish they would just ask.

I don't mind sharing what I look like, patches and all. But with people I don't know; it can be a little intimidating. I rather wear my hat, wig, or scarf.

I took a picture of my head to see how it was and hikers.

Every part of you is wonderful

Sometimes when I'm alone I just go about my day then I will go to the bathroom and look in the mirror or pass by my reflecton on a picture frame and I realize that I'm bald. I forget a lot because it's not something that runs through my mind 24/7.It's a small part of who I am but alopecia is not how I define my self. It's something I have, like my freckles or the fact that I wear glasses. Being bald isn't somthing you should veiw as a burden, because it's who you are. You should love yourself… Continue

I want to get to know you, a nice man or woman!

I am looking to get to know either a nice man or a woman. Friendship is great and if it gets to be more than friendship that's fine, but, one step at a time. I am a very open and accepting individual, I don't judge. I am the kind of person that if it doesn't work or as a relationship I would love to remain friends.

I am honest and I hope you will be honest with me. I am here to listen and hope you'll listen to me.

My Story

I am new to Alopecia world! I am 24 years old and I first started experiencing hair loss when I was 21. I have female pattern hair loss. I first started noticing a difference in my part, then it became general hair loss all over my scalp. I have seen many doctors and had many test done only to determine there is no medical help I can receive. My dermatologist has suggested cortizone shots in my scalp. I am wondering if anyone has experienced these and what the results are! Thanks you!!

Looking for a special girl!

     Hi my name is Scott.  I am hoping to connect with a girl who would like to meet and see where it goes.  Friendship first, hopefully followed by a relationship. I look forward to sharing a relationship with someone I can relate to on all levels.  Most people can not fully understand what we are going through.  Look forward to meeting you!

14 months

So I haven't written a blog post in quite a while, it seems that I had forgotten that my Alopecia even existed for a while! A lot of you will be thinking that that is the worst thing to do, because it always seems to come back with a vengance, but not this time.

I suffer from AA, but when my hair starts to fall out it all goes from my head, but then after a while I do get regrowth! So the last time I fully lost my hair was Christmas 2013, it is now the summer of 2015! Yes I have lost…

Found my first bald spot

It's finally apparent. I found a wide bald spot in the bang area where my part is. No matter how I style it it still shows. Trying not to panic but it's hard. Really need some encouraging words right now. Someone...anyone...

My story

Hi all!

I decided today to look at some alopecia websites today for the first time. I had an idea that a lot of people have alopecia but I had NO idea how badly some people struggle with it. Reading some of the posts below put things into perspective for me so I decided to tell you all about my alopecia story.

I am now 20 years old and I have alopecia universalis. I got it around this time 3 years ago. It didn’t all fall out at once. First it was a slight loss of my eyelashes.…

Steve 2.0

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site as off yesterday but not new to alopecia unfortunately. I am a 24 years old male, currently living in the highlands of Scotland and I have had alopecia for roughly 6 years now. At first my alopecia started off as AA and then slowly developed over to AT where it currently still sits. I have had patches off slight regrowth but nothing major. Currently I have lost about 90% off my scalp hair, 50% off my eyelashes and my eyebrows are roughly…

If you shave it all off

Hi - I have FFA, took years for the doctors to take it seriously.

 I have had the cortisones, NSAID , and minoxidil  and have had reactions to first two. Moon face, neuropathy.

The hair just keeps getting thinner and I am 59. 

I hate the itching - it never seems to actually stop.

It is spoiling so much in my day to day life, worst days being stressed days and the ones with flares.

I am healthy eater, do like wine, not much dairy but its there.

I…

Feeling free

Saturday was a big day for me. I was chief bridesmaid at my cousins wedding and it was also the day I told everyone about alopecia on facebook. It's a little overwhelming the amount of support I've had , finally I feel free to be me and have some fun with it. Saturday I was long blond and wavy Sunday was long dark and straight. Now I'm dark straight in a bob. It's such easier being open about it than hiding it. I'm still really nervous about work and doing the school run but I'll face those… Continue
