Ive been a member of this site for a few months probably but this is my first time on the site. I am 22 years old and starting developing alopecia about a year ago now, it started with a small spot . It progressed and got to the poinjt i shaved my head and purchased a wig. I am a recovering Anorexic, and have suffered for 6 years, doctors think this may play a part in my hairloss. I also am having hormonal issues too, which may be affecting my hair too. Its a big puzzle really.
Anyway thought id drop a note and introduce myself ! :)

Hi, Newbie. Welcome to alopecia world! Your story reminds me so much of my own. I was severely anorexic prior to developing alopecia when I was 13. At first when I started to lose my hair everyone thought it was a result of the poor nutirition & side effects from not eating properly from the anorexia, but the hair loss soon became extensive. And instead of diffuse thinning ( as what happens with anorexia), it was falling out in huge patches (aka alopecia). I definitely believe in my case that this illness helped instigate my alopecia. Welcome & I think you'll find there is a lot of support here on AW :)
