I lost my hair when I was nine years old. I've been to every doctor under the sun and refuse to go to anymore now that I know I have alopecia. The lady I buy my wigs off was with a guy for 7 years and never knew she wore a wig. Finally…"

You will find lots of support here. I know I do.
Stay strong.

The patch of hair I've lost is growing gradually, every day a bit bigger. I think if it all fell out straight away I would at least know what I was…"

- Hello and Happy Wednesday! You are beautiful with or without you hair. I had my first bald spot at the age of 11. I didn't go completely bald til 9yrs later and then it grew back mostly, then came out again a few years later. Now its growing back again....with this condition is a never ending suspense. My 2 girls are extremely supportive of this and think its pretty cool. I've been in a relation for 3yrs and just recently told him of the condition. He looked @ me and said "is that it"? Why were you so nervous? It's not deadly"? So you have so much hope!

Erica said… - Hi Elin,
Just read your discussion topic and wanted to say hi. My alopecia areata got a lot worse a few years ago but I wanted to let you know that my partner has been very supportive and I'm sure yours will be too. His only stipulation has been that I don't get eyes tattooed on the back of my head as he doesn't want to wake up to me staring at him every morning! I hope you find a lot of useful information here: it's definitely a good place to have a moan about how crap dermatologist departments are. They don't call it dermaholiday for nowt :-)
