Hi Dee, I'm having a good day - have a sinus infection but shouldn't last long. Schoo is crazy busy always and keeps me running, but I enjoy what I'm learning. Tell me more about yourself.
Hey Dee,
Thanks for the welcome! I too have alopecia universalis. Because of my faith in Jesus, I have been able to overcome the negative issues surrounding this disease. I have discovered alot of positive about myself through experiencing alopecia for the past 3 years - things I probably would not have otherwise thought about had I not acquired alopecia if you know what I mean. Good to hear from you.

Hello Everybody! Thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome. I can feel the love that comes with every greeting and I know this is definitely a great place to be. I have two adult sons who shaved bald when their hairline began to recede. They prefer to stay bald. They have not sought medical advice re their hairloss so I can't say that they have alopecia. I do have a friend that says she does have it though and I want to learn more about the causes and cures of hairloss. I plan to share information about this site with my sons (however, I don't know if they will care to join) and my friend whom I know will be more than happy to join and share.
Hi Dee,
Thanks for the welcome. Have been diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia 2 yrs ago, and have been using Rogaine 5% twice daily since then, after much thought. My mother has genetic alopecia as well, and now my siblings, so the gene is very strong in my family. I definately have gone through extreme boughts of depression and anxiety regarding my hair loss, but did receive counseling from an excellent therapist and take Lexapro for my depression. My mood overall has been pretty good, hopeful, over the past couple of years, but still have periods of discouragement. Luckily, I have enough hair on top of my head to disguise my hairloss, most of the time but always question what the future holds for me regarding continuing hair loss. Just nice to talk with someone my own age, and whom I can relate. I have always tried to stay fit and keep myself up to date, so my hair loss has been very devastating. Any words of encouragement are appreciated. Thanks for listening.
