About Me:
I have been battling this disease for as long as I can remember. While I am not ashamed to tell anyone I learned ways to change the appearance of someone with Alopecia. I recently discovered that my child has it and through the struggles I face she is stronger and bolder then I ever was. This disease teaches you about strength to be different from others and self love and acceptance.

A small victory

I have been praying for my little girl! While I don't mind this condition, I don't want her to endure this harsh world. Children can be cruel. She was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata like 6 months ago. To think I was in total disbelief because this crazy condition has been a family trait. I am the only one to ever have AU. All that to say I cried many days for this child because I remember the hard times. She reacted to topical treatments within a matter of months, something that never worked fo… Continue

A poem for little one....

I sat at work and and realize I am having a tougher time with her AA then she is... Is it wrong to be a parent who wants their child to get better? I wrote this to my child in hopes she will one day know what I felt as she went through this ordeal. MOTHER’S LOVE Everyday I fight to be the person she needs me to be When deep inside I feel like I am dying Lost in a world between life and reality I sit and hope she is stronger than me This person I birthed has learned to fight Just as she did w… Continue

Our doctor told us to use Protopic on the eyebrows, I have not heard of the Cordan lotion, is this something the doctor recommended? Did you or her ever have injections?

So something did work? Did her spot grow back in? What all were you using?

I feel the same way, my whole family thinks I am strong, they have always come to me with advice, but it is so different when it is your child, your baby girl, I have nerver in my life felt the way I did when this all hit, but I have to keep as much normacy in our life as possible, and I do. The only thing with the grease, I would love to find something, is that she wears a piece daily, so I cant get to her scalp daily, we use adhesive to put it on so that is why I try to find products that are safe that are internal, now during the summer months she went free from adhesives,, but with school starting I thought this would be better. Have you ever tried any herbal treatments, I have seen stuff on Websites such as the Merry Clinic?

Trina, my daughter first spot was easy to cover and honestly I did'nt know much about the condition so really thought it would'nt get any worse until December 07 and it just all came out, but she hair a head full like your daughter so up front I would just but a spiral curl and cover it, but I had no clue would could happen. Thanks for sharing all your experience, I am going to try the aloe vera juice, she takes 1 biotin tablet daily, I crush it and she takes it well, also I recently purchased brow boast and I can see fine hairs coming in.

Things are going good, glad to hear from you, my daughter started back to school this week and things are going well, I must say I am blessed, as Marvin Sapp sings "I nerver would have made it". So how about you how is your daughter doing, is she going through any treatment or pretty much has not had much of need just yet?

Good one :). I dated some insenstive jerks and believe me sometimes people can try and understand Alopecia but accepting it is another story!
