About Me:: I am a single mom of a 6year old daughter, I have been divored for 3 years, I have had AA on and off for over 20 years, just last year it turned to AT, I have been in wigs for about 9 months now, I live in south florida, and would love to get to know others who can understand life with alopicia.

Maybe its stress for you too?? I know over the years everytime I got a new spot of hair loss I knew what stressful event had caused it...Maybe you should try injections, If you have a lot of your hair... I had then for many years and always kept my hair loss to a point I never needed a wig till just last year...And again I am sure it was do to the horrible divorce I went through.Oh I wouldnt worry about a wig yet, very few loose enough to have to use a wig, But if you do need help with that ,Im there for you!!

At 10:03pm on August 17th, 2008, Melissa Harris said…: I see from your bio that you have had it for 20 years?! Wow I'm 37 now and never had it, so really freaked out about it at this point!

At 10:01pm on August 17th, 2008, Melissa Harris said…: How many years did you have AA? Did you ever get a biopsy and if so, did they tell you that you would eventually loose all your hair someday or they couldn't tell you? Where do you get your wig at? How is the experience of wearing a wig like? Thanks for the reply!

Yes! I would be interested in what you regimen is! How much have you grown back? How fast did you loose it all?

At 12:30am on August 17th, 2008, Melissa Harris said…: Hi Marisa,
I was looking at your profile and saw that you are using a UVB light as part of your treatment. Do you think that is really helping your hair grow back? What other treatments are you using if any? How long have you had your hair loss and how much hair did you loose if I may ask?! I would possibly like to try this UVB therapy.

At 9:26pm on August 10th, 2008, Bob Hershberger said…: Well,thanks for you help tied to the light questionsI appreciate that.How long,if I may ask,have you been using the light before you started seeing results?? You know,the other day,I was thinking back to when all this first started in my life,and was trying to see if I could isolate something that may have triggered it,or anything new added to my life,but didnt come up with anything just yet,but Im very patient.You know,I wonder if everybody on this site took a guess at what they feel happened to them,right before they started there AA,At journeys..I wonder how many answers would match,or possibly lead to a treatment?? Huh? Just a thought..Oh..While Im here,was the light expensive,or is it a rental?? Had to ask..Bob-ba : )) Tx sweeetie

At 2:25pm on August 9th, 2008, Bob Hershberger said…: Marisa..Thanks for all the info...Now lets see what will work for me..I appreciate your help...Bob

At 2:43am on August 9th, 2008, Bob Hershberger said…: Marisa..It must be very encouraging to have both dark and white hair coming in at the same time..For a while my white hair was long and had texture,now its just "there'..Oh well,any hair is good hair...LOL..Anyway,does the EV light have a web site,or a store name..Im very interested..Our conditions sound fairly identical,so who knows..Let me know when you have a minute if you dont mind..Thanks Marisa..Im so happy for you..I remember the first time,after being bald almost totally for 3 years,and out of the blue it started growing in,I was in as much shock then,as when it fell out the first time.What a great feeling,like a house is lifted off your back...Anyway,have a great weekend and enjoy how blessed you must be feeling..I feel blessed knowing your blessed..LOL..Bob " )
