If it was anything like Pats experience her world did fall apart for some time but eventually things became better for her and even though she would rather not have AA it is at worst bearable. Dont feel any guilt is about AA you did not choose to have it. John

Yep, it IS hard to deal with and yep it DOES feel like your world is falling apart! You're scared and full of panic at what is happening and rightly so. Alopecia is very unpredictable so I'm not going to tell you your hair will grow back...it may or it may not. A small precentage of aa sufferers like myself become au [total hairloss]but the majority of sufferers regrow their hair. The only way I know to keep strong is to start liking yourself with or without hair...sounds simple but very difficult to do. It gets easier to do as time goes by. Hang in there Alicia, there are so many here on this same journey as yourself, feeling the same feelings you are now and becoming stronger and more confident as the weeks go by.
