Lisa left a comment for Cristine"Hi Cris, I just sent you a friend request. I live in the Twin Cities too. My son is 6 1/2 and been in remission from AA for over a year now, but we've noticed it's coming back. Last time we went through this, Luke wasn't in school…"

- About Me:
- I am a 40 year old mom to two wonderful children. I work full time outside the home. I live in the Mid-West and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. My daughter is 9 and my son, Luke is 7. Luke was diagnosed with AA back in March of 08. We saw a dermatologist who had us try several approaches to regrow hair. She mentioned UV therapy which basically means let him get sun on his head. We stopped all other treatments and did this all summer and guess what? Luke had a 100% regrowth for well over a year. In Feb. 2010 we started to notice this coming back. I was heartbroken. We went back to the Vitamin D supplements and more exposure outdoor sun. This seemed to halt the AA again. For us, it seems that UV and Vit. D is the trick. Luke's hair still doesn't grow as fast as it used to and still seems a lot thinner so we always just watch and worry.

Fitzy said… - Hi Lisa, just wanted to say that I met a young women with AA a little while ago. She is 16 now and has alopecia since she was 4, as she does not remember ever having hair it is not a big deal for her having AA. In fact she hates wearing wigs as she feels she looks funny in them as she never recalls having hair. Although I remember my hair I too am very happy with my AU. I hope this is comforting that your son will most likely be very accepting of his AA if it does not decide to grow back as he will have had tome to adjust when he is younger. It is amazing at how young we learn to accept ourselves. Best to start off early then have to deal with it when your a teenager i feel.

Isabelle and Anthéa said… - welcome to you and your family.
my daughter anthéa was diagnosed AU 2 years ago. three treatments later, no sign of regrowth..
but it doesn't matter, she is a happy kid with a big sense of humour, even if it's hard for a little girl to have no response as for an eventual regrowth.
bye
