hello, I’ve had alopecia for about 5 months now. I used to have long, thick, curly hair but lost half of it in a matter of weeks, had to cut it to try to hide the bald spots and had a very difficult time emotionally. Then my hair started growing back in some spots and that was amazing! But now some of those new hairs are falling out again and I am once again struggling not to cry and stress and...

I have been losing my hair for 5 weeks now. I have 14 holes on my head.It is getting harder to cover them up. I too have had blood tests to check my thyroid leveland it is fine. I am asking my dermatologist for a possible biopsy to find out what type of alopecia i have.I also started cortisone treements 2 weeks ago. The more I read and go onto peoples blog sites I am hearing the same...

i have made 2 previous posts, the first stating that at age 24 I was diagnosed with R/A, Rhumatoid arthritis for those that didn't already know. This is an auto immune disease and my rheumatologist told me years ago when I was in my late 20s that I had it worse than most of his 60-70-80 yr old patients. Why did that happen to me?? Idk, but from what I've read I see a lot of people associating...

Hello! my name is Bella and i'm 16 and going into my junior year of high school and was diognosed yesterday. I'm having a really hard time accepting this diognosis. At the moment i just have a small spot that is easy to cover but the idea of loosing more hair that i cant hide is very scary to me, especially as a teen. I already have eczema and a stutter that set me apart from my peers and i dont...

there are some auto correct words in that long rant of mine but I'm sure you guys can figure out what I'm saying. Also, about the weight loss, the actual number is 223lbs down to my lowest of 158lbs at my sickest time. All within about 4-5 weeks!!That's 65lbs!!! The Drs and myself FREAKED OUT, I'm currently only up to between 170-175 and still EXTREMELY uncomfortable. My goal is to get to at...

My hair losshey guys, I'm new to this as of today and wanted to tell a little bit of my story after reading so many about different people and their hair loss. I'm now 32, at age 24 I was diagnosed with SEVERE R/A, I started with humera, then enbrel and finally went to remicade infusions. I was on them about 8 months when I noticed a quarter sized spot on the back of my head where the hair was...

I was diagnosed with alopecia 2 days ago. I 've been doing nothing but crying. No one in my family has this and well I'm scared to let my family know. It's harder to keep it from my friends. I need someone to talk to so that I don't go crazy. My mind is constantly turning on what I can do to help it. Thinking of all the possibilities and hoping I haven't missed one. Question is how did everyone...

I've tried most of the popular brands, and used different wig caps...but they all become itchy and annoying after a short while. Is there a secret to wearing a wig that I might not be aware of? I have Alopecia and have very thin hair that makes me look bald all over my scalp. I would like to wear a wig again since people seem to react different to me when I have one on, otherwise they think I'm...
