Relationships

Going through a rough spot with all of this, a year ago my alopecia was so bad that I shaved my head because there wasn't a lot left on my head. it took a lot but then I rocked it, I loved being bald after a few months and was very comfortable with it. I moved to another province to be with my boyfriend, whoo had been with me since before this started. which I felt was better because he seen me through the thick and thin of it all and was there for me. we didn't have a good relationship, but…

Regrowth!

I went to the Dermatogist January 19th and got topical steroids to try, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. I did it for first two weeks but then i decided im not going to bother anymore!

Not fair

I thought i was coping with this ok... i thought i was accepting it... but today was bad, we are going out to the bar tomorrow, and its the first time since i shaved my head. i barely wear my wig now because i hate the feeling of it so much, so i figured i could find something to wear to make it look amazing without hair.. but everything looks ten times better when i put my wig on... i picked out a dress, and then put the wig on and my friends said, and i also agreed, that it looks way…

Today Was A Big Day

Today was the day i decided to shave my head. It's also the day my boyfriend broke up with me.. not for that reason, but it still matters, i dont know if my alopecia has anything to do with why he broke up with me or not but its all the same. everything just feels hopeless

What kind do i have

Can anyone offer advice on what kind of alopecia i may have.. last year when i first lost it, it wasnt that much off my head, a little on arms, and legs, but thats it... this year its all of my body hair, and i have about 10% of my head hair left... if its the 6 month cycle, then it should start growing back any day now.. but if i have universalis, does that mean its unpredictable if and when it will grow back? if i still have some hair on my head, does that mean i have areata not…

What is this?

Hey Guys... I heard of this website through a girl I met through my hairdresser. I have no idea what to do or how to reach people, So I suppose a blog would be the best way...

I will tell my story and hope I can find some of you to help me understand, googling this stuff doesnt help because different sites I find all say different things so i'm not sure what to believe...

In 2009 I notice in december my eyebrow was starting to thin in the middle of…
