New...and nervous.
Hello everyone,
Well...I guess I'll just dive right in. I have alopecia areata...its mostly at the nape of my neck and goes up to the back of my ears...so...I haven't been able to wear the hair I have left in a ponytail in years. I usually wear wigs, weaves and extensions to hide my condition. Maybe a handful of people know about it...my family and closest friends...and they usually forget because I've learned to hide it so well...
Im happy I found this community where I will be able to speak about it freely with others who understand. I look forward to speaking with all of you.

I too have the same problem as you. Im new to this site also, since yesterday actually. My doctor tried drithrocream, did not work for me. Starting yesterday he put me on a oral prednisone. I hear that it works till you quit taking it, then your new hair growth will fall out again, Im so sad about all this.

Hi Tracey! Thanks for taking the time out to comment. :) I feel welcome here already, and hope we can chat more. Good luck with your prednisone treatment. I've heard it works in quite a few cases and I hope you are one of those few. One thing I've learned through my experience is that, you will have good days, and bad days...just take them one at a time.

Thank you for the encouragement Nikki! Your kind words have just reminded me that keeping a bright outlook will maybe convince someone else to smile in spite of their own difficult situation. I will continue to do my best in maintaining a positive attitude.
