I'm new to this!
My hair started to fall out in the summer. I remember being in the shower, washing my hair and all of a sudden I was holding a hair ball the size of a tennis ball. I freaked out. Later looking through my hair I didn't have any bald patches but I had lost about a third of my hair. Now I have lost all my hair lines (about 2inches all the way round). I have been to the doctors but they don't help. I sometimes wish It would all fall out, as I feel I am floating inbetween some one with hair and someone with no hair. Everyday I try to hide the baldness, but if it all went, then people would see it for what it is! Am I alone? there must be people out there with the same condition?

Goodness, what more can I add to what Sandy said? She is right, the middle phase is the worst!!!! I have had alopecia since 17 and am now 38. the first time I lost my hair at 17 I had exactly the same experience, watched it all fall out in the brush or shower until it was so gone I shaved the last little bit. That was a hard step for me, and felt very alone. That was many years ago and unfortunately we didn't have RJ and Cheryl's wise ideas yet :o) There are very many forms of alopecia, and it might not be it is all going and will stay gone. The first time mine grew back after two years. I will be honest and tell you I did lose it all again almost five years ago- and as soon as it really started to go I shaved it. Was the best thing I ever did! Felt like I had some control. Anyways, I am just trying to say you never know how or when alopecia will bless you, it is kinda sneaky that way. But everyone here are in some stage or another and ALWAYS here for you. If you need anything please buzz me, and remember what Sandy said: there IS hope!
