Ah, this emotional roller coaster! I have a question!

Hi all, I hope you are doing well..So I wanna give an uptake on my progress of my hair..My hair seems to be growing in in the spots that were bald and coalaced into one big spot due to the injections..Now it seems that since my hair is growing back I am getting new spots in the same area, but different spots..It also seems as though I have diffuse Alopecia on top of this AA..I am losing an enormous amount of hair and I am not sure where I am losing it from..Whether it be from the two bald spots I have left or just all around my whole head..My hair seems to have gotten so thin it is almost impossible to cover my remaining spots..I am also thinning towards the front and sides, assuming it is from diffuse alopecia..It also seems like since I have been struggling with this hairloss for seven months the hairloss seems like it is getting worse and hair is extremely thin..It seemed as though my hair was falling out diffusely less when I did not get the injections, but my bald spots were still bald, it almost seems like a lose lose situation..I am getting a little more with this condition, although still bothersome and depressing...I did truly feel and thought that things would slow down and hopefully reverse especially after seven months, but I am getting the feeling that it is not gonna be that way...I also see some of my regrowth falling out now as well and causing tiny tiny bald spots in areas where my hair grew back...My one question is, is it possible for all your hair to fall out given a year? Cause to me it seems that is what's happening to me, although no new bald spots aside from two small ones, I am still losing a substantial amount of hair..Also, Could I be losing hair from all over my head without actually having a new spot on top of the AA or is the diffusion from the spots that are already there and just spreading outward? I am at this point very confused.. Thank you so much in advance...

Thank you Patricia...This is my very first bout with AA, I have never had any hairloss ever..I first saw a spot back in Sep which grew and merged into one big spot...I have been getting injections in my head and they are helping, but the spots just continue to spread outward or a new spot forms almost in the same spot the others were, and now think my regrowth is fallin out..Truthfully, I am not losing much hair a day, but my hair is significantly thinner than it has ever been and now getting oily and very knotty quicker so I dont know what to think anymore..

I firstly had AA. Cortisone injections into the small spots they once were. And growth always On & off for 10 years. Then within i would say a matter of 7 months Completely gone. It would fall out in chunks. And i mean chunks. I would comb my fingers thru my hair and it would be everywhere, all over the floor, all over my clothes. It was like the hair wasnt even attached to my scalp. It was falling out so rapidly. 100s of hairs a day. SO no longer was it falling out in patches, but it was thinning throughout. Eyebrows and eylashes fell out just after, i would say within 2-3weeks. ANd body hair was falling out without me really noticing as i was more focused on the scalp loss to really worry about it. Until I went for some acupunture and he looked at my back and tummy and said ' you dont have any body hair' Then i freaked out.
Completely bald now, 15 months. I dont want to scare u into thinking yours will fall out like mine, just telling you my story. I wish u all the best :)

Hi Tallgirl, Did your hair fall out pretty much like a diffuse AA and how much hair were you losing a day? I am just curious..Did your hair start to just thin till eventually it all fell out?

Mine all fell out between a November and a June.
