- I first was diagnosed with alopecia areata when I was a teenager, although I'm pretty sure I had it when I was much younger too (the bald spots always grew back). I first lost all of the hair on my head in my late teens/early twenties. My hair grew back one time and then fell out. I didn't lose my eyelashes or eyebrows until much later.

Cortisone injections are working to treat my nails

Hi - it's been a while since my last post about my nails that were lifting away from the nailbed. I've found something that seems to work - - although I have to say, it's pretty extreme. On two of my most affected nails where the nail had almost completely lifted away from the nail bed, I've received a cortisone injection at the cuticle line. Painful, but it seems to work. Next time, I'll apply some numbing agent the dr. prescribed before my next appointment.
