Today marks 12 years from the day that I found my first bald spot. I distinctly remember being 14 and my mother was blowdrying my hair when she found the dime sized patch.

A year followed of doctor's dismissals, then creams, then cortisone injections before I quit all treatments. By Nov 27 the following year I was nearly bald and began wearing a wig within a month. I was completely bald all over within the new year.

I have never had regrowth beyond maybe a tiny patch that lasts…

Every winter I change my hair extensions out and wear a wig. With my puny hair, I feel it is best to give it a rest from extensions, and also at the ranch my own hair with extensions does not hold well in the wind and rain.

I love my wigs, but every year it is the same process of getting used to the comments others make about my new hair. Some people are very kind, others not so much. I have learned from past experience that this goes with the territory.

I can't help but wonder why…

Ive been to see the doctor finaly. She didnt tell me anything that I didnt allready know.
So I keep up my good mood and go on.
Its geting closer to x-mas and I look forward to that. I love x-mas.
Have a nice december all of you.

Hey guys, I would like to know if there is any problem doing tattoos if you have alopecia, due to the fact that it is an autoimmune disease.

Thanks

Hello Celia, thank you for your support. I'm not Spanish, but I'm Portuguese.
I know of cases of FFA in Portugal or Spain.
There are no blogs or websites Portuguese about this disease. What I know about the FFA, was through a dermatologist and through Brazilian websites.
Sorry my English.

Interview: Tommy Lee Jones of 'Lincoln'

'Language is life's blood for actors ...'

By James Rocchi

As Thaddeus Stevens, Tommy Lee Jones' rich voice gets to boom out the principles of equality and also utter, with quiet conviction, of the human needs and feelings that make equality necessary. He's a scene-stealer, in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," but he's also portraying a figure of American history whose record of leadership, moral courage and eloquent verbal feuding should…

Just discovered this site and decided to join. I am a 56 yr old male and lost my hair 4 yrs ago when my Dad died. I tried all the injections and acid treatments and steroids with obviously no effects. The good thing about the alopecia is that when I got it I was depressed about losing my Dad and during this time I quit doing the things I loved and got heavy and depressed. One day when getting out of the shower I looked in the mirror and saw a fat, bald guy and I got pissed. I thought I can't…

My daughter, who has Alopecia Universalis, has been trying to get a modeling contract. Does anyone know anybody who has Alopecia and signed? If so, I'd like to know...

it has been really hard for me to take the big step and wear a wig i was diagnosed back in 2007 with androgenetic alopecia and to this day my hair is thinning out and you can now see my scalp even worse.. how did you make the decision and how did you feel. please help :(i have support from my spouse but i just feel like he just doesn't understand :(

I have tried pretty much every cream out there to try and get my hair back and the one that i'm using now doesn't seem to be doing much either, I've almost given up! The last option that i really have is multiple cortisone injections into my scalp. I don't know much about them and would much appreciate any information or feedback on them...are they painful? I'm not very good with needles but i'll try anything! PLEASE comment if you have any experience with them or even just a bit of info!…

How to Have an Attractive Personality

By an eHow Contributor

Being attractive does not start with outer beauty as many people think. Approachable people often garner attention because of their attitude and demeanor, not their clothing or good looks. With an attractive personality, one can get positive attention from people regardless of physical attractiveness.

1. Exude confidence. By projecting a confident and self-assured…

Years ago I was in a changing room at a gym and a woman walked in and thought I was man because I was not wearing a wig to cover my alopecia and had my back to her. When I turned around she could obviously see that I was a woman, but I still felt shame after I saw the look on her face and she apologized for mistaking me for a man.

That was very painful experience for…

Last week I was grocery shopping and, when I went to check out, a woman approached me to say she thought I was beautiful and that she wished she could do what I do. She went on to explain that she lost most of her hair due to alopecia. I told her I was familiar with alopecia and, in fact, have it myself. She was fearful of what others might say if they knew about her condition, but she really liked my look.

She was wearing a wig and said she normally wears one, so I suggested she…
