I am new here on this website but I am NOT new to Alopecia. I have been diagnosed with autoimmune Alopecia. I have pretty much had it all my life but it got really bad my Junior and Senior years in high school....which you could imagine was rough.
I have been completely bald now for 12 years with some hair on my body and limbs....which is funny because I have more on my body and none on my head. I have 1.5 eyebrows right now but one eyebrow is growing back thanks to the good ole painful shots to my eyebrow.
My Dermetologist tried to get me on Humira but my insurance is being a pain in the ass about it. So I am hoping that the FDA approves it for use on Alopecia....any news on this? He says that it would probably work well for me. Biologics seem to be the future for my condition. Hopefully we get something soon.
Anyways...this is my coming out post! Just want to say hi and I am glad I am not the only one!
P.S.- Being bald has its advantages....like the ladies think I am handsome. ; )
