4 months after my hair fell out into crop circles, and 2 months after my diagnosis, I now have about 1/2" of regrowth. Initially it was impossible to see, but about 2 weeks ago, I noticed it now has color to it again. It is still very hard to see though. I measured my overall hair length the other day, hoping to chop it off before Alopecia could take it, and donate it again, but it is still not long enough for the required 10".
After 1 1/2 months of absolutely NO hair loss at all, and being sick, I am well again, and my hair is falling out all over the place, again. Cleaning up hair off the bathroom floor is a daily routine again. Thus the cycle :(
My thoughts have been that maybe my immume system was distracted with me being ill, and trying to fight off that, instead of my hair. I have been very weak, after being sick for so long, and I tire very easily.
I have learned so much about Alopecia in the two monthis since diagnosis! Though I don't love the Alopecia, I DO love the Alopecians, and I am so lucky and blessed to have so many loving and supportive new friends, both online, and even some I have been blessed to meet in person. God bless you all!
