Hi Laura, welcome. I know it's hard to cope but I feel stress is the main cause of everything that goes wrong with our body, especially hair loss. My hair fell out in patches on my head and on my eyebrows/lashes after a real stressful time in my life about ten years ago. I tried every known treatment there is, and was severely hiding what was happening. After I accepted what was happening and stopped stressing I had almost full regrowth on my scalp. Even though my eyebrows/lashes haven't come back I still try to stress as less as possible. I hope you find a way stop stressing. Good luck and take care.

Hello Laure i have to agree with alex, If ur stressed out ur body wont work properly and if ur immune system doesnt work then u have problems as u need ur immune system to be good. I took a sun allergy which my body was very down and my hair fell out, but i had also had a very stressful life for the past 8yrs ad it could have also been this. I will never really know but i am tryin to have a better life altho it isnt easy, xx

My hair loss is definitely stress related, i have had two episodes now and both onsets were at extremely stressful times in my life, in April this year when my AA was at its worst and i was feeling extremely stressed at work I took five months off, I slept lots, spent precious time with family and friends, started a course of fusions vitamins and iron tablets and took time to smell those roses and within a month my hair started to regrow... my doctor was amazed. Six months later I have full regrowth. I hope you can eliminate the stresses in your life as I strongly believe stress is a major factor /contributor to many illnesses and diseases in particular our health and well being. Having said this I also believe our hormones could play a part in the AA riddle. Good luck with your AA I do hope you have a positive outcome soon. Vic x
