Hi.  Karen  here and I am now in my 23rd year of Alopecia Universalis and I still think..."Why Me!"  occassionally looking at others with 'green eyed envy!' 

I've always wondered IF I had acted on the advice of my first Dermatologist, whether I would still have this auto immune condition or not! I honestly believe that, IF I had FOLLOWED her ADVICE when she said "DON'T  STRESS.  GIVE YOUR HAIR FOLLICLES  THE THREE MONTHS THEY NEED TO GROW and come through" whether I would be blogging this same, simple advice to YOU. 

Looking back, it was easier to be seen trying the said "MIRACLE CURES"  of pills and potions, cortisone and hormone injections, acupuncture, solariums, rub on solutions (which only work for male pattern baldness and not auto immune conditions) together with head and body circulation massages (which were wonderful in themselves but didn't promote hair growth) instead of following the "NOT  SO  SIMPLE"  action  given to me way too early in the piece for me to take any notice of, but, for which I now implore you, for what it's worth, to heed.  " D O N ' T   STRESS!!   Give your body time to heal itself."  Take Care.
