Thank you.

This group is not active and has NOT been active for quite some time.

You would have better success going onto a social media site to find people in person.

Best wishes.

Hello NurseLaurie If you want to email someone for support, just message me. I hope you will return to the site here. It was nice to see a few posts from over the last few months from some new members. Nobody seems to stay though, due to the inactivity of this board, which used to be quite active several years back. I would like to encourage you and others to please post so we can try and get this board going again. Thanks.

Welcome ,
You are not alone . I’m 51 and have dealt with Trich since I was 10 and it goes in remission and comes back . Specially when I’m emotionally not well .

But we are not alone as you can see many of us have struggled with this . We can beat this . Therapy sessions, techniques, tools or fidgets or even hair extensions has now been working for me and taking collagen has helped with re growth quick .

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
