Question on hair regrowth. No hair for two n half years. Yesterday my husband found 6 hairs on the side of my head and some of my eyebrows are coming back. I was so excited. On closer inspection my sister found an area on the top with several black hairs. I have no hair on my entire body, but the ones mentioned above. My thyroid is finally leveled. What are the chances that all my hair will come back?

A few months ago I posted pics of my hair growing back. Ha ha ha. It all fell out and now for the first time I am completely bald. Smooth as a baby's butt. Went to a new Derm and she told me that I could get shots (NO I HAD THEM AND THEY HURT AND THEY DID NOT WORK). Next she told me there was this pill that I forgot the name, but it had side effects like it could affect my liver, give me diabetes, affect my bones, and so on (NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH). So I am bald and bald I will be until the God… Continue

So my hair had started to come back and I was so excited, but now after a very stressful 2 weeks of withdrawals from taking Cymbalta my hair started falling out again. I had most of the sides come in, was still missing the top, but now the sides are going away again. Thinking very seriously about a Freedom Wig. I know they are expensive, but I need to bite the bullet. My one BIG concern is spending the money and then not being able to wear it. Here are my questions.

1. I live in Florida it… Continue

Today I am going out of my mind. I WANT MY HAIR BACK!!!!! I am tired of wearing the hats, the scarves, the wig, and the bandanas. I just want my hair to grow back. Today I almost left the house without anything covering my head. Thank God I noticed before I got in the car. I ran back in and put on the scarf. I have outfits that don't go with the hats and the scarves so I don't wear them. I am sick of this situation. My husband keeps telling me it's growing back, but I can't wait any more. I… Continue

Hi I have been away from AW for a while sorry tons of stuff going on. The good news is that I have started to see new hair growth and the hair that I had left seems to be growing too. I am very hopeful that it will continue to grow. I have not been wearing my wig. I got tired of that switched to a hat. The wig was giving me headaches. I hope everyone here is doing good. Hope to hear from you guys soon. With God everything is possible. Take care.

On Monday after I got my shots I put on my wig and went to my niece's Holiday Show.  She is 4 years old and has very little  thin hair.  Her two best friends have long thick hair.  When she saw me with my wig she didn't recognize me at first.  The next day my sister in law text me to say that Annie wanted to know where I got that MAGICAL Shampoo that made my hair grow so fast.  She told her Mommy that she wanted her hair to look just like Cookie's (that is what she calls me).  If she only knew… Continue

Just came back from getting my shots.  Wow they hurt.  Asked the Doc if I should shave my hair and she said that if it were her she would not shave it.  So I will wait.  Also told me to try Rogaine for men in foam form along with the prescription  cream.  Has anyone tried the Rogaine?  I will keep you informed of the results.

Hi this is my second time with Alopecia. I had it 10 years ago, but not as bad as this time. I have now lost 90% of my hair and I am having a hard time dealing with it. I went online and bought a wig. I was so excited when I tried it on and actually like it. My husband, friends, and family were all very supportive and they said it looked great. My younger son he is 14 looked at me and said that it did not look good, because I did not look like myself. So the next day my awesome husband took…
