- Dear Aileen: I am very sorry it has taken me soooooo long to get back to you. I was away at job training for three weeks and had limited access to a computer. I'm working a second job (not too many hours), and finally getting used to the new schedule. Both kids still have A.A. My son's is getting better and my daughter's is getting worse! The kids still use the same treatment as before. How are you? How is your son doing? I feel like I have finally accepted that my kids have A.A., and it is for now, still naturally concealed. I don't cry about it any more ~ so I feel I've reached a level of acceptance. Please write soon and let me know how you and the family are doing. Take care Sweetie!!!

- Hi again! I am certainly no medical expert, but I do not see why you could not apply Iodides Tincture to thinning areas. I read about a woman in Mexico who washes her hair in Iodides Tincture. You might feel better about using, if you do more internet research. Good luck in which ever treatment you and your child select. Best wishes always!

Margie said… - I'm so happy for your son!!!! Casey is using a medicated foam and it seems when we stop so does the regrowth. It's not something we want to continue using for a long term period. We are just taking things as they come. I don't cry all the time anymore and I really don't think about it all the time as each time I look at him I just see my great kid (hair or no hair). We are getting used to it I guess. All in all, things are going well. Is you husband home yet from over seas. I'm sure you and your son have been missing him a lot. Though it seems you have a lot of wonderful family support. Stay well and stay in touch, Margie

- Hi again Aileen! I applied Iodides Tincture to the kids' heads every night for one month (dipping a Q-Tip into the bottle and applying it to each balding area). The next month I applied the Iodides Tinture every other night. Since then, we have been treating with Rogaine nightly and the injections every four weeks. Prior to using the Iodides Tinture, my daughter was loosing about 20 to 50 strands of hair, when I combed her hair. Once we started using Iodides Tincture, she was back to loosing just a few hairs during combing. I really feel that using the Iodides Tincture slowed down her hair lose. It was not a cure, but really slowed things down. If she or my son start suddenly loosing a lot of hair again, I will follow the same usage plan with Iodides Tincture. The kids still have AA, but it seems to be going into remission and slowly getting better for both of them. Congratulations to you son on his regrowth! That is very positive news! Email anytime with questions. Its always good to receive word from you! Take care.

- Hi Aileen, I've thought of you and your son often and hope all is well for both of you. Casey had started have a great deal of regrowth but as soon as it came in he began to lose the full top of his hair and then the regrowth went as well. We are now in another regrowth mode. Seems this will be a ping pong game. Casey is doing wonderful in sports and so his mind is focused on that so much more than the hair :) How is your son? Is he seeing any regrowth? How are things at school for him. I was really glad to hear from. keep in touch. Margie

Cindy and Samantha said… - Hi Aileen. I really feel what you are going through. My daughter was diagnosed in May 07. I think the diagnosis is more traumatic for us moms then our kids or dads. I am tired of hearing people say at least it is not C. The hardest thing for me was to have to watch my daughter's hair fall out in clumps last fall. I cried every day for hours and I even broke down i front of her. A big NO NO..Then, my daughter was hugging me and telling me it will be okay when this conversation should have been the other way around. Then in Jan I had to watch her brows and lashes fall out and she would tell me to worry about myself. I feel blessed that Samantha has embraced her AA and accepts it. She has been wearing a wig for about 9 months now. There was a stage when I cried because I hated her wig and having to see her wear. Now, it is just part of her life style and I just deal with it. I feel lucky that her hair is starting to grow now with treatment. We have hopes that she will have a short cut soon..Are you trying anything? You will find lots of good advice and support here..
