How long?

Hi everyone! I have a question for all that have FPB. I'm curious to know how long it took
for your hair to recede/fall out? Mine has been doing this for maybe 7 years. Its just now getting to
where the top of my head is almost bald. Major scalp showing through what little hair is left.
I'm just curious.
Thanks.

    Mine started at around 14, at the time, and maybe until now doctors in Egypt were not familiar with the term alopecia and I did not know what was going on. I went to maybe 10 doctors, however, my hair kept receding. Now my scalp is showing and my hairline is way back. Now I am 38 and I've been wearing wigs for the past four years. Hope that helped.

        It's been since autumn of 2008. That's when I noticed thinning around my crown area. I have one spot, and mostly thinning through the top, and sides.
