I keep finding more bald patches, the most I have had in years. I feel it's coming from last year when I had a very stressful time, nursing my beloved Grandad and Auntie in my home, who died from cancer.

But strangely I don't care, I have been through so much that hair loss seems so unimportant now. If anything I am using it like a badge of honour, yes I have seen through hell but I have survive. And if I loose all my hair. I will be fine, because over the last year I have found out who…

Started steroid injection last Tuesday. For first time in 15 that I have been on and off them, I slept for 2 days, I feel panicy and emotional. Anyone else had this after only one treatment?? Feel like I am going crazy. This had never happened before

Had steroid jags for the first time in a long time yesterday. Don't know if it's because it's been so long since my patches were as bad or what but slept for almost 24 hours and today still feel woozy and sleepy and very emotional :-(

Had a really bad day, forgot mobile,sav nav stopped working on way to hospital appointment and after it I couldn't move my right arm, due a procudure of calcification. I stupidly said, God what else is going to go wrong today.....

In the shower washing my hair I got my answer, (after over a year of a full head of hair and was even considering getting another shorter hair cut) I felt that smooth skin feeling you can not mistake!

AA started again!!!! So go out the ice-cream and went…

Hi Just thought I would share my experience of having AA.

I have had AA since I was 15 (almost 18 years) and found that confidence is a major part of how people view you and you in turn view yourself.

I was 16, and shy and not very confident and in collegue (was actually in class at the time) when I felt that first bald patch in my head, as my Dad has AU, so I knew what it was. After going to the doctor's, I went back to college and told everyone in the class about it. I got…
