Hi there guys,

Just wondering if there are any of you with the same pattern of AA as me. I have the snake like pattern that wraps around the nape of the neck, behind the ears and temple areas of the scalp. I found Jessica, on Alopecia World, who I've talked to and has the same pattern too. I think we really helped eachother out by just sharing our experiences. It is a strange pattern and not a lot of us Alopecians have it. If anyone out there would like to share their story, I'd love to… Continue

Does anyone on this site had the experience of having AA and then it turning into AT? If so, can you share your experience and how fast it happened?

I'm scared out of my mind and everything in me is in a shock-mode. I just want to know what to expect is this what is happening to me. Thanks.

Hello,

(For ALL MEMBERS reading this on the site that would like to share their experience), how long did it take after being diagnosed did everyone decide to just shave all of their hair off? It seems like everyone got to that point after looking at most of the members stories. I thought a lot of people (at least 50%) keep most of their hair and can conceal their hair loss fairly well and eventually grow it back. I know that it can happen again though. I asked my doctors nurse if they thought I would… Continue

Hi,

I was just wondering, I have read so many blogs and mostly they are all about people who are mostly all bald that have Alopecia Areata. Is there anyone out there that lost some hair but grew it back?! Most stories that I've read are really depressing to me. I went to see a specialist and they told me unoffically that I have AA. I have been losing for about 3 months now. I heard the stats. 10% of the 2% of the population go completely bald, but there is still 90% that don't. Where are… Continue
