Hi fellow alopecians! I am new to the site and to the group! It's so great to have a group of people to talk to who know exactly what you're going through!

Welcome Ali- I live in New Mexico so can't help you with NJ support but just wanted to empathize with you! I as well have been living with this for a couple of years now and still have a hard time coping at times. So many people on this site are so positive and supportive so sometimes it's nice to just come here and read the comments to remind ourselves we're not alone, and we feel for eachother! Hang in there!

Hi Flin thanks for the link I have signed up.Also the infor was very helpfull. Like is alopecia hereditary. the cause of it and so-on. It would be nice to meet up with people in the same situation in the uk . I have friends for 12/14yrs and dont know I have au.My family have never seen my head uncover since I was 13yrs old. But founding about alopicia world has been very helpfull, insirpering,and encouranging, that I not alone, that there are people who have the same condition as me.Iam learning that things could be much worst, ie, having a arm or led missing being blind. So I give thanks,. But you do get those days when you think why me, I could be saving alot of money here or I could wash my hair and go.But heyhouh. Iam luckly that do look normally, thank-god.. Thanks again flin.

Hi Kerry,
just wanted to say that there are support groups in the UK. I was living in London and I was involved in a support group. Check this out:
http://www.alopeciaonline.org.uk/about-alopecia.asp
In London, they also arrange meetings every two months or so. Their next meeting is on 25th September. You can contact Carolyn, she arranges everything. Good luck in everything!!
Good luck to everybody!!!

b>u>Attitude

Sometimes we just have to remind ourselves.........I know I do!
Blessings to all of us!!!

There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
Looked in the mirror,
And noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, Looked in the mirror
And saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
'H-M-M,' she said,
'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'
So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up,
Looked in the mirror and noticed
That she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going
To wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up,
Looked in the mirror and noticed
That there wasn't a single hair on her head.
'YAY!' she exclaimed.
'I don't have to fix my hair today!'
Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain. We just have to count our blessings everyday.

I'm in Atlanta and don't know anyone in the northeast with alopecia. I would perhaps check with the dermatology departments of teaching hospitals in the NY/NJ/PA area to see if they can steer you in the right direction. DCP originally started as a treatment for psoriasis (another autoimmune disease) and produced results for hair growth. Also check not just dermatology but immunology docs as well. Good luck in your search....I'm sure you'll find someone.

Gail thank you so much for your resonse. You don't have by change any phone number/name or anything else I can contact for this matter? I called some docs in Philly but no one of them offered DCP. Maybe there are some I don't have their names...Thanks anyway :-))))

Comment by Gail on September 8, 2010 at 1:28pm

Yes, DCP treatment is available in the U.S. Don't know about docs in your area but there are plenty of folks on AW in the NJ/Philly area. Good luck!
