April 17, 2017 5 weeks in

I have been losing my hair for the past 5 weeks. 

Just found out I have alopecia 2 weeks ago.

I was treated with cortisone, but have had more holes appear and

am continuing to shed.

I have a formal banquet this weekend I dread going to.

Im having a hard time covering up all the holes and please hope there is no rain or wind.

I have to keep myself out there, but continue to learn about alopecia and learn to live with it.

Im very self conscious and I cry alone in the bathroom putting my rogain on.

Should I even be doing that?

I have a micro needle roller coming from Amazon to irritate the sites of baldness.

Just at a loss as to how long this might take to go bald.....confused, bewildered, yet realistic.
