Susan S commented on Karli R.'s blog post 'Steroid injection side-effects? And other questions!'
I've had 3 "outbreaks" of AA and had injections all 3 times. I did not notice any side affects from the shots, and right now I've had 2 years of "normal" hair on my head:). That being said, I believe that shots or not,…

Hello Donna, I'm so sorry but I can't help you. The note I posted about this was not FROM me, it was from another website that someone else wrote, I was just asking the question about the treatment, which I had not heard of. Good luck.

DCP is a different agent from DNCB. I'm pretty sure it is used once a week, maybe twice, hence the strength of DCP is suppose to make a very itchy and scaly scalp. DNCB is tolerable.

To me this sounds like DCP i've tried that years ago and the hair began to grow but you always have to use a higher medication because the skin gets used to it. So i was on the highest medication and the hair began to fall out again. Plus there…

We are seeing Dr. Strick now. The cream he uses does not cause blisters. It is applied every day with a low dose your body can handle so it does not itch or cause any blisters. He has helped over 5,000 patients and is very knowledgeable of Alopecia…

Never heard of it, but just now googled it. Lots of articles, but I only had time to skim. And, the Lancet appears to want money. :) Personally, I can't see myself adding such a toxin to my system just for my hair. Not to mention the…

Hi Lois, thanks for the good wishes, so nice to hear from you, you're always so upbeat... guess I was not born with than gene. I'm doing well, but only because my hair has started to grow back, even in places where I didn't realize it…

About Me:
I'm a 62 year old woman who, since my alopecia areata got out of control this month, is acting like a 2 year old... I can't stop crying, I don't know what to do first, who I can talk to, who knows what I'm going through. Friends think I have a fatal disease I'm so upset... I know this won't kill me but I feel I might just die of embarrassment. This website seems like a great place to start.

Hi Susan! How are you? Haven't heard from you and hoping you've turned the corner psychologically speaking and have found a healthy way to kick alopecia's ass and let life tumble along as you kick your heels, lol. Merry Christ*mas and hope your new year starts out better..take care.

Hello and welcome, Susan,
I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com. Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
LeslieAnn
