Well..I'm very glad that all of your spots grew back! I am wondering if mine is because of stress...but I don't have a whole lot of stress...Just normal everyday things like working...kids fighting..but nothing bad! I can't really think of anything dramatic that has happened so I really dont know! I noticed that you said something in one of your earlier blogs about itching...When your hair was growing back in did it itch? Because mine is itching really bad and I have been wondering if maybe it was the clobetasol cream or hair growing back or falling out or maybe even the shots? I'm confused..lol..anyways thanks for the comment- it made me feel better and it gave me a little bit of hope!

My spots look alot like yours do in your pics! I have three spots though! But I am trying the shots and cream and they are getting bigger! If ya ever want to talk...I'm always here! How is your spots doing?

Hey Amy, my name is lacey.
I am in the exact same position as you, Last June my hair dresser noticed my first spot i completely freaked out then it continued to get worse gradually through out the summer it got to about 3 spots 2 in my bangs that wasnt fun and one at the side. My confidence was completely destroyed. However when i got my new boyfriend everything seemed to be looking up my spots began to grow back and everything its been 8 months now and all my spots have regrown but just yesterday i noticed a new one or what looks to me like one it still has hair but it looks like the beginning. Im upset scared worried its just so difficult how unpredictable this condition can be:( But all we can do i suppose is HAVE HOPE thats what i have learned.
talk to you soon
Lacey.

Hi Amy, just read your profile, sounds rather similar to mine. Im still hoping that my patch will grow back. I only noticed it feb this year, sooooo time will tell.
How is your re-growth going. I too started putting the steriod creams on, but made my hair look worse than it already did, lol, so stopped. All Im doing at the moment is taking iron tablets and B12, feel like I should be doing more, but dont really know what.
So heres hoping that our patches will grow back.
take care,
bel :)

sorrr i have not talked in a while i have been grounded from the comp so i here your husband is very supported and i hope he is suppotive well i have to go talk to you later bye

Hello, new friend with the same name :) I just went to the dermatologist this morning, and she saw definite hair growth. I've been taking Clobetasol, two weeks on, two weeks off, so I'll continue with that.

Hey amy! was just reading your profile and your story is very similar to mine! How is your hair doing at the moment? Did you find steroids worked for you? I had to stop the steroids because they made my scalp sting and itch! So im sticking more to herbal remedies at the moment, with not much luck to be honest! Your hair looks great in all your pics! And your dogs are extremely cute! hehe.

Hope your good.
Becca.
