We never went to the support group here. I asked my daughter and she does not want to go. She met a friend of my husband who had AU and his hair grew back and I explained to her that I grew up with twin friends and they had the same thing. We did bring awareness that she is not alone, and so far she is okay, but just okay. Dr. C. and his staff are wonderful people and they are keeping her motivated too.

Yes! That's him. He is very optimistic for my daughter and I trust him. He also has a great intern that is now working in his office...he passed his tests and he is now taking over my daughter's treatments. When I see Dr. C. I will tell him that I met you here and that you will like to contact him, but I'm sure you can call his office. He is still at Penn Medicine at Radnor. How cool and what a small world to have found each other here!

Irene, I think my daughter is also seeing your doctor! lol. Yes, he is very good at what he does. She is receiving shots from him, as they are working to grow her hair in quicker. Also, this herb treatment I feel is also helping it grow in strong. I told him about it and he said that it is fine that she uses it as long as she doesn't mind it. She likes it a lot, as it smells soooo good.

Hi Irene, I've done kenalog injections and squaric acid. The injections were every few weeks until hair growth appeared. The number of injections depended on the size of the bald patch. For the really big patches I received both squaric acid and the injections. The squaric acid is itchy. But I guess it's the itchiness that stimulates some hair growth activity. Both treatments have worked for me so far....topically. That being said, internally I'm anemic and also since March, gluten and dairy free. No new patches on my head, yet. The old patches have grown in now and are about 2-3 inches long.

Hi Irene,
Nice dog!! Thanks for asking me to be your friend. One can never have TOO many friends! We are cat people, but I've always had a soft spot for German Shepherds - and Chows - my Mom had one when she was a girl and her stories always made me want one. Stay warm this winter in MN. NH is cold too!!

Hi Irene! My daughter is a teenager, 13years old. Her doctor did mention that treatment to her and he told her it is like poison ivy on your head. She opted not to do it. She did get some shots and they helped but she also doing a treatment from this man in Israel of a natural herbal gel. It is helping her grow in and stay in, but we shall see.

We live in PA. We have visited Greece many times with my children and they love it there. I speak fluent Greek.

I would love to chat again!

Hi Irene good to meet ya. Great looking GS you have in your pic...my hubby used to be a dog handler in the corrections dept and had 2 dogs in the time he was with them. Both used to come home with him and they were treated as pets by the rest of the family. I miss them :(

thanks Irene, it was great chatting with you tonight. Funny thing about my pic, this is at my reception only 9wks after giving birth to a 10lb4oz girl! My hubby and I eloped in Fiji cause we didn't want a big deal wedding-family had other ideas. I love this picture too, I seem conflicted, yet totally comfortable and happy. It reads well :)
