Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Brenda, are you in Chicago too?  I wear a beautiful piece I got at J. Krause in Skokie, nowhere near $2000, but excellent quality base and European real hair.  My hairdresser who colors and cuts my hair to go with the piece says it is the best she has seen.I cannot go without a piece anymore.  I did for about a year and a half, but felt it too stressful (wind, weather, always fussing)

My dermatologist want to give me kenalog injections. Has anyone experienced bad side effects from this treatment and has anyone had success with this treatment.

Thank you for our input. Nancy

This was my hair last spring.  I've lost more since then.  At least 2" all around my face and an inch above my ears.  I have a great stylist that makes my haircut work until the wind blows.  If you were commenting on my picture i thank you Sad in chicago.  My derm gave me info on a great wig maker in Chicago.  She said it would cost over $2000.  I'll just wear a hat.

your picture is lovely.....do you wear anything or is that your real hair?  If so, I am very jealous, as it looks so full and healthy.  If not, great piece!

Hi Folks, I haven't been on for sometime but felt that I should post an update. It's been 17 months since finding out I had FFA and I've been on the same journey as many of you... Check out my old posts it's all there... Medication, health, holistic therapies etc.
Today... I have not lost anymore hair and my eyebrow lose seems to have slowed too! I feel very positive that my FFA maybe burning out... Fingers crossed.
I eat healthy, exercise, and stopped all medication within the first 6 months of my diognosoies. I had councelling over a year ago which helped me come to terms with my FFA and learn to love life again. I strongly believe that stress was a big factor for me and when I learnt to let my worries go the hair lose seemed to slow down!
I wish you all the best on your own personal journeys xxx

Apologies - senior moment - I meant near the Beaconsfield junction on M40 for a get together in a few weeks time - hope all who came last time are well.x

I don't know how to get my sideways picture deleted from here.  Bad lupus brain fog day.

Comment by Brenda, IL US on February 22, 2015 at 5:06pm

Donna i just ordered Cedarwood.  I didn't know Rosemary would help.  I'll have to order it next time.  I'm still using Clobetasol but i continue to have inflammation and itching.  I've lost a lot more hair in the last year but it doesn't bother me as bad as it did before i had my eyebrows tattooed.

Deb I saved your post from Nov 26 as the idea of autoimmune and using Rosemary and Cedarwood essential oils really appealed to me. I finally got around to purchasing the oils. I have been using clobetasol but still have inflammation and hair loss and want to get away from that. Exactly how do you apply the oils when treating active inflation. If you wanted to private message me send email to dthrasher@shaw.ca.

Hi Pam and all others who met up here last year.  I am still around and keeping active !  I would like to try to get 'local'  friends' over again soon if you would all be happy with that idea - I know I would !

I have email addresses for most people in the group who got together last year but would like to invite others who are close enough to the Beaconsfield junction on M25 to message me with your e mail address then we can make a plan. x
