Here we go, I can't run from this problem
I'm new to this, they haven't even diagnosed me yet but one thing is for sure, I had, up until 4 weeks ago beautiful, thick and curly hair. I've lost more then half all over and now I'm noticing thinning spots around my temples and the rest of my hair line. And what's scary is I'm watching it get thinner and thinner. It's fast man. My hair is everything to me, to me it makes me. After a slew of blood tests, and tons of questions my dermatologist is very curious about me and my symptoms. I've been waiting for a specific test to come back. Kind of like the deal breaker. I just really want to know what the f is going on with me. I'm so bitter and devastated honestly. I've been wearing my bandanas like I used to wear occasionally. I bought some scarves to use as wraps. My friends know that something is going on and I'm super honest about everything. I'm just so anxious. I'm usually pretty calm and the one everyone runs to for help and advice and lately I don't have the patience for them and their "baby" problems as I call them. I keep thinking this is all a bad dream or you know, it'll get better but let's be real now, I'm a realist. Fairy tales aren't my cup of tea. Just can't bring myself to believe it. I have a great boyfriend who is standing by my side but my god he's so over bearing it makes me wanna rip the rest of my hair out. Sometimes I just wanna be left alone and then I'll come around. But he doesn't get that and is frankly shoved up my butt. I know he means well but geeze. Well, it feels a little good putting myself out there knowing I'm not alone.

I know how tough this can be especially in the beginning.
Maybe ask your BF to give you a little space to soak everything in. Thank him for his caring but let him know you need to be in the "Drivers Seat" at this point in time.
Good Luck!

A shot in the dark here -- but how are your teeth? Any dental problems? If you can, go check them out. I'm not sure what kind of alopecia you have, but if you have AA, like me, my big trigger for spots (in addition to stress), is my teeth. If this is your first episode of AA, it can last a year or more, and then may go away and not come back or come back from time to time, it's very unpredictable. But you are not alone. It's nice your BF cares so much, but maybe you can just tell him to change the subject and try to talk about other things with him.

Well after a few weeks of tests and observation, they came up with Folliculitis after they did a scalp biopsy, which would make sense since after I was prescribed a topical solution to help with my inflamed scalp but then I got this rash of painful red bumps. I think thats the Folliculitis and the hair loss is still a mystery. I'm using a selinium sulfide solution right now to help with the bumps but I guess we'll see what happens and if my hair stops falling out, which is hasn't. I' m on day 2 of using the lotion. I've had a broken wisdom tooth removed. But the dentist wasn't really sold on that causing anything. Being on state insurance i get the run around a lot and i know i dont get the same treatment as someone with lots of money.
