Hi Lynn! I live in the Bay Area and have a 16month old boy with AA that has now turned into AT. How old are your kids? They are adorable. WOuld love to chat with you sometime!
Thanks

Hi Lynn,
it was great to hear from you. Hope that things are well with you and your family. It is good that your kids are too young to realize that AA is a life time condition. Let's hope that it will go away soon for your kids. My daughter lost all of her hair back in August of last year. After discussing all of the options with Dr. Price, she decided to let nature takes its course. Since then, she has some regrowth. Her brows and lashes are coming back slowly. She is very open about her AA. I am so amazed at her abilities to deal with it at her age. She is doing well at school, has many friends, very involved in music - She plays the tuba, trumpet, percussions at her school symphonic band. My husband and I make sure that all the supports are there for her.
Happy New Year.

Hi Lynn,

All is good here. Hope so for you as well.

I never had any sign of AA before 7/07. I tried steroid treatments in the begining but they obviously didnt work for me so I stopped.
Glad the kids AA are pretty good. Fingers X'd.
Hahaha I love the hairspray line.

Hope your day is a great one!!!

Hi Lynn,
I read your discussion about white iodine. You mentioned that you attended the the Stanford Parent Group. Do you live in the bay area? My daughter's derm. suggested that we joined this group. I will try to attend the September meeting. Hope to see you there and learn more about the iodine treatment - May be it is too late for my daughter, she has only a few hair left.

Hi Lynn,

I was noticing that you are one of the few people in this group that has more than one child with aa. My daughter Genevieve was diagnosed 5 months ago and has diffuse aa. I would say she has about 20% hair loss with some recent spontaneous regrowth. She is also partially losing and eyebrow. The other day I noticed that her sister seemed to be losing a lot of hair. She now has a tiny patch on the top her head and the area above both of her ears has thinned out greatly. Our pediatrician is sending us to the derm. for a diagnosis. I think that I am in shock that this could be happening to more than one of my kids. If you don't mind me asking, how did it happen with yours? Was it close together, do they have similar loss? I can't seem to find much on the internet about familial alopecia so I thought I would start asking the people who know the most about it!

Thanks,

hi again lynn, i just have some question about using the iodine i just wondering if i can use it with the thinning hair cause you said that your kids when they start using iodine the hair lose is slowing down.
