hello thanks for the article - I also live in Canada and can't find a doctor who understands - can you have please provide his name and contact info - I send a friend message request
My email is Sneha_radia@rogers.com

Do you think he will be good for Sjogrens hairloss (autoimmune condition - mine makes my hair thin very badly, and I have lost hair elsewhere on my body including eyebrows and parts of my eyelashes).  Also my scalp hurts (burns and itches).  How did you contact him, by phone or via his website?  My email address is vickipuddycat@hotmail.co.uk   I really need to see someone who knows their stuff and he sounds like he could be the one.  I have zero confidence in dermatologists in London when it comes to scalp and hair!

Struggling to find how I can find make an appointment with the french doctor.  The website Doctolib doesnt seem to be taking appointments for him.  Is there another way of contacting him?

Thank you.  How did you hear about him?

I'm very thankful and appreciative that you shared your thoughts and feelings. My 14 year old son has alopecia and is completely bald no eyebrows or eyelashes. He's always been so quiet and just came out of his shell about 2 years ago and started playing sports in school and had a group of friends and his first girlfriend. He's had a small bald spot on the back of his scalp since he was 2 years old (it came right after I had a stroke) no medicine has helped so we just tried keeping it hid with certain hair styles. Thanksgiving last year a parent and substitute teacher had said something to him about his hair in front of everyone, the next morning all his hair was gone. Nothing is helping, he's lost all his friends except one and the girlfriend. He quit sports and won't leave the house except to go to school. It hurts me so very deeply to see my son go thru this, I too wonder daily what have I ever done wrong for my son to be punished and hurt daily. I feel like such a failure as a mom bc I can't do anything to make it better for him. I should be able to always protect him from the hurt he's been dealing with from all this... so thank you for sharing with us your feelings.
Misty- I am sure in dealing with your sons condition you already know that only those who suffer with the condition can feel the true emotional pain and agony and we are reminded of it each day. I understand exactly what your son is feeling. If you havent done so already perhaps a support group would help him. Being around other young adults who suffer the same as your son may give him a brighter outlook and get him out of the house more socially. Wishing your son happiness!
Thank you. Yes ma'am of course I know that only the ones who are coping with this are the ones that truly suffer. I was only stating that as a mom it hurts me deeply to see my son suffering and so emotionally hurt. I'm the only one he talks to about it and even then it's hard for him to discuss. He refuses to join any type of support group, even an online group. I wasn't trying to offend anyone or compare the hurt I feel for him to what anyone who has alopecia must feel and go thru. I think that each one of you are extremely strong and brave. I tell my son that also and that to ALWAYS hold your head up and be proud of who you are, our appearances don't make who we are or what kind of heart we have. It's just too bad that the world we live in doesn't realize that.
Misty- thanks for your reply. I was just thinking, maybe a therapist would be able to work with your son's social fears and anxiety. Just a thought. Does he visit the alopecia world web site? I am new to the web site and have already found comfort in reading stories of others with the condition and just staying connected helps me daily. Its a safe place where we are all alike and can share with each other without shame. :)
