Where acceptance is all there is!
Clueless in N.C.
Greetings! I am newly diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and had no idea what it even was.
I am curious if anyone on here has experienced this same type of alopecia, and what I can expect? I feel as if I am sort of dancing in the dark here...
comments or advice welcome

Hi Elizabeth. I too live in North Carolina and had my first appointment in December with Dr. Olsen's office at Duke University. I am still able to cover my bald spots with my own hair but I've lost enough that I can't wear my hair pulled back without bringing some hairs forward.
It's an unpredictable disease so it's hard to say what to expect. I am just hoping to hang on to as much hair as I can. Good luck to you and as someone else suggested please check out the FFA group.There's a lot of resources there.

Google DermNet NZ and check out their website. It is a New Zealand based organization, but they have lots on info about frontal fibrosing alopecia. Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation is another one to look up.

There is a group here on AW with FFA. I would go there if you haven't done so already!
