Hey - Yeah, everyone says that about my little girl. Our baby pics are the same too. Thanks. I just found 2 new spots. I'm not sure what to do. I wish it would just stop falling out and I pray that it does. It's in Gods hands now, I have faught it too long with the worry and stress. I trust that he will reoslve it soon for me. I get so down sometimes, but when ya pull back and take a look at it, there really is nothing I can do. I can treat the symptoms, however, if my hair is terminal, well then, it's terminal and not a whole lot I can do other than place my focus on wigs and a new lifestyle. I guess we need to be thankful for our hair falling out and the fact we don't have some horrible condition that prevents us from playing with our kids and being physical, ya know? I am here for you when you need me. 828-442-1774, and you can send me a note anytime also. I'm in NC. Take care~

Oh, thank you so very very much.

i have the same thing. misty but only one spot so far just got my first shot last week.- im very stressed with this sistuation to.- i would love to talk about it with you please write me sometime!!!!

Hey! Well i just get in over the counter from Boots (pharmacist/chemist) so i would try that, it says its for men on the bottle and they usually ask me who its for and i just say it's for my dad or something just to avoid complications.
Believe me i understand exactly how you feel! When my hair first started falling out i lived in a small town in Argentina where everybody knew me and they all found out eventually because i wore a hat ALL THE TIME for one year.. it was awful!
I was the same with my self esteem, i literally have none left because of this but i'm trying my best to build it back up.
Always here if you wanna talk :)
Stay strong xxx

Hey Misty, Yeah, I still have trouble although mine is going really slow. It started back in Aug of 08. I still have enough hair to cover the spots. I get cortisone injections from the Derma and it make the hair grow back, but then I just get new spots. I had very long thick, thick hair so maybe that is why it seems to be falling out slow. Anyway, I don't wash it or comb it much. Maybe once or twice a week. I just pull it all back. I use Toppix powder to help hide the spots. It works GREAT. You can find that at Sally's Beauty Supply. I'm just thankful I still have hair, and I hope and pray that it will stop falling out. I guess I will keep on trucking like this until there is not enough hair to use the powder and hide the spots. Then I guess it's wig time. Hate that though. I also use tar shampoo, it seems to help a bit. I hope you are well. Where do you live?

Hey Misty! Thanks for your comment. How are you? Yes it is really hard to deal with, especially not knowing what's going to happen. I've been wearing a wig now since october and it was helped in ways but just made me feel worse in others. Now its coming on to summer and we're getting some pretty warm days (very unusual in england but even so haha) and wearing a wig is really annoying me! In your about me section you ask if anyone has had any positive results and i guess i can say i have, last summer my hair was at its worse having lost about 85% of it but i've been using minoxidil 5% since then, just spraying in on the bald area every night and i think its safe to say ALL my hair has grown back! of course some bits are shorter than others ans stuff but i'm just so happy! i didn't think anything would work and all the doctors said they couldn't do anything about it. I'm still wearing a wig but not for long :) Hope things are great for you,
take care

Hey Misty! Thanks for the message. I'm doing great....just trying to avoid the 105 degree temperatures outside right now. How are you? I read your "about me" and I also get the cortisone injections. I find the injections to be the most affective on the eyebrows rather than the scalp. Have you used 5% minoxidil foam or fluocinodide topical solution? None guarantee re-growth, but it's possible that you may respond well to the treatments. Talk to your Dermatologist and see if he or she has heard of these or any other treatments. Nice to meet you! ttyl

Thanks for the add!
