Alopecia started for me last year,at the age of 31. I had long blond hair and it started to fall out. I found handfuls of it on my clothes,on my hands when i washed it, cloged up drains,and i had bald spots that were getting bigger and bigger.Eventually i started wearing a hat cuz of the spots and hair started growing back while the other was falling out so i had new hair when the last bit fell out. So now i wear a knit hat but i have some new hair on the back , top and sides. I have lost my eye brows and one set of eye lashes. My pubs are almost all gone, and hair on my legs has fell out in some places. I thought everything was getting better though. but i have three new spots on my head and when i shower more is in my hands. I feel like im going crazy. i cant wear a wig, it feels too unatural and i cant find a job because of how i look. i wear a hat everyday. my eyebrows havent grown back. I get cortisone shots on my scalp, i guess ill get more next apointment. I need some advice badly!Where can i find friends?where can i find a job?how can i go to grad school?this is the scariest thing ever and i dont know what to do other than trey very hard to find a cause and cure!!what other tests can i have to rule out hormones, or a fungus?Does urine really work?

Amanda. U need to b strong. I know this is the hardest thing you've ever been thru. No matter what life Will get better. Focus on wearing whatever u r comfortable with on ur head.drawing in eyebrows. Have no expectations and you won't b let down. As I understand it wearing a wig/hat. WillNOT affect any growth. Life is not fair. Ur life will get back to normal. Don't let this prevent u from looking for a job as hard as it is. Be strong! You CAN get thru this. Promise. My best to you.
