My daughter does not have any other autoimmune problems but she does have some allergies. I heard that is another common thread with AA people. I wish I had some magic to help in dealing with this, but it's very tough. Having a good wig and good friends has so far solved the issue for my daughter. I hope it stays this easy.
I know what you mean. When I was younger, I remember my mom searching for someone...anyone to talk to. Then we found out about NAAF and went to the conference. I don't know if you heard of it, but I would absolutely recomend you going if you can. I think it's a great experience for you and your daughter. =)
Hi Christina, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi Christina,
It's really hard when girls reach their teen years with alopecia.
If you need extra help, you might want to read my book, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" which has quite a bit of good information in it, dedicated to women and girls with alopecia. You can find out more on my page, and click my web site to order. Good luck!

Hi Christina,
I read your about me, and I went through the same thing as your daughter. I was diagnosed with AA just before my 4th birthday and had almost a full head of hair until i was about 11, when i lost it all. I remember thinking that I was the only person that was going through this. I know that I am older than her, but I think it would help her to talk someone who has and still is going through the same situations that she is. Feel free to contact me if you think this would be helpful. =)
