hi chaeri, i can relate with you about the asian part and AA. i have AU and my parents took it one step further and went to the temple and pray to our ancestors to have my hair grow back. i remember it was my senior year in h.s. and my parents took me to the temple had me on my knees, pray, rub dirt on my head, and my dad threw an object in the air (i think it was an apple) as a ritual. it was werid and embarassing! its funny to me now as i look back but, it was the worst time of my life at that age and dealing with AU. i am still learning to accept myself and living life to the fullest. it kills me when i call home and my mom still ask in chinese "is your hair growing?"

Hey, I'm asian too and I know what you mean, my parents made me drink those chinese herbal stuff and this time around my friend suggested acupuncture and i'm going to see a chinese doc about the herbal drinks again... but it's nice to know it worked for you :) You're so pretty!

Hi Chaeri
Welcome to Alopecia World

Thank you so much for the advice Chaeri! You look great and it's great that you are with someone who loves you, hair or no hair. I will definitely look into acupuncture. I'm not at all worried about the pain, I'm willing to try anything!

Hi Chaeri, you're really pretty! I am so happy to hear that acupunture worked for you. I have already given up on myself, I haven't tried acupunture though but I highly doubt it would work for me. Hair isn't really a matter to me but my eyebrows are, it sucks having to draw them every single day!! :(

anyway thanks for accepting my friend request. Take care and Happy New Year!

First of all thank you so much for this information and I do hope it helps others, and also I would like to welocme you to a great place to be.
Quick story I know a gal at work who have AU for years now and she is trying the treatment also, I'ts not working for her yet but she remains hopeful.

Hugs
