Hi Karina,

I have been experiencing the same grief.
Although I have the white fuzz I have nothing elsewhere.
Oh but wait how about this. I never lost the hair on my knuckles, toes or knees. Whats that all about?

Hang in there Kiddo,
Jeff

It is hard Karina when a little maintenance is required. Im much at peace with no growth anywhere but know if the weird growth decides to appear I'll be reachin for my Mach 3 again.
It can be quite a quick ritual to razor off any growth in the shower. I used to have to use a mirror but found after practice, just by touchy feel I could get there in a jiffy. Hope it decides one way or another for you so your not in limbo too long. I so miss my lashes too.

Hi Karina,

What is frustrating about alopecia is the sense of uncertainty. There is one thing that we must assure ourselves that we are who we are, as created by God with individual gifts and talents. I too sometimes wish that my hair would grow back, but then I am not surprised if I dont ever get it back. Nevertheless, I have not lose hope and faith. So hang in there, live your life to the fullest and let us not cease hoping and trusting! Take care.

Isn't it just a pain? I get a few straggly hairs on the back of my head and nape, and I sure shave them off. How great is that to have a couple long hairs and nothing else?! I do have to say though none on my toes or knuckes. But how come I have to shave my underarms once a week? and the most hair I ever have is in the nether regions. What is that all about? Jeezzzzz Alopecia LOL

Hi Karina You guys have answered a question I had. I didn't know if all alopecians had that white fuzzy hair.
I do... and now some are getting color, seems like more and more daily. I'm not expecting much though,so I know how you feel. Not having to deal with it is easier than waiting Ahh well que sera sera

I hear you all...I was completely bald for years. Then 50% regrowth that I shaved for years. Now a head full of white fuzz. I also have one underarm that I need to shave. Yep, that's right, just one underarm. It's a strange, strange condition. No brows or lashes though. Although I miss them dearly I pray that I don't have just one grow back like my underarm. What would I do then?

Good to know I'm not alone on this! I've never lost hair under my arms too, still have to shave those - wouldn't it be nice to be able to pick and choose where to lose hair from?!LOL

Karina me too!!!! Totally bald except a few eyelashes on my right eye AND that damn underarm hair!! I only have to shave them once every couple of months, doesn't grow fast but it does grow!! I grew all of my hair back after 7 years when I was a teenager....back to bald now though AND just got my first freedom wig cut and styled yesterday, I love it :-)
