The first thing that crosses my mind when I think about alopecia, the ones that it effects, is how strong we are. Maybe we all got it as a blessing in disguise to strengthen our character and our person as a whole. Yes there are unbearable days when you just want to curl up in a ball in bed and not face the world anymore, but we simply can't. Anytime any person, oblivious to the fact that emotionally some are weak, ask innocent questions without knowing, but it makes us stronger. We are the…

i don't wanna be offensive but i just think it's a pathetic and stupid to ask why me because simply if u r an atheist u will understand it's just a luck "genes" and if u believe in god u'll find that maybe god choose u to this challenge and if it wasn't u and someone else got this problem will ask the same :D why me , why u , why them it doesn't make sense . there's people suffering from dangerous diseases like cancer etc ... so you've to be strong and ask the right questions wt can really…

Was just reading in Womens Health Mag about a girl who has alopecia who used a squaric acid treatment on her scalp and it grew her hair back. It didn't grow back as thick as it once was but it did come back.

I did a little online research and the treament is most effective on patients who have areata as apposed to totalis and universalis. I have totalis but was still considering it. Would or have any of you ever tried this treatment? If so how did it work for you?

I'm compiling a list of innovative ways to keep my bald head warm in winter....any ideas? I won't except burying your head in the sand...Add to it!

* Train your cat to sleep around your head instead of at the foot of the bed.

* Consume enough spicy food that it will literally burn your head off.

* Handstands on down comforters

* Stand in a crowded mall and advertise free head rubs to win cash. Touching plus warmth...can't be all that bad?

* Walk into the…

I'm getting married in 6 months and when my bf orginally proposed to me, my hair was growing back although I still had to wear a wig because it was so thin and sparse (I lost almost all my hair two years ago). I thought that by the time my wedding would occur that all my hair would have grown back by then (even if they were thin)... perhaps I was too hopeful. I was at least hoping to have a short haircut and I wouldn't mind because at least I would have all my hair back for my wedding.…

I never win anything. Never. Tuesday I won something - a hairdryer. Yes, you heard correctly. A hairdryer. Is that not the most crazy thing ever? "Hi my hair is falling out, can I have a hairdryer?" ROFL. My hairdresser had a giveaway over the holidays and she entered me in. Bless her heart. It's a professional dryer. Nice one. She uses this hairdryer herself at her salon. I can still use it for now but I had a good laugh when she gave it to me.

She has been such a…

Many of you have seen regrowth, this is my son's head (close up). He has these small hair on his scalp now, which are much thinner but still black in color. He never had the white peach fuzz that I expected. I am not sure if this is something positive? Please help me decide what to make of it.

Hey has anyone heard of this treatment? It just popped up on my fb page and I clicked on it out of curiosity. I am usually very skeptical of any "quick cure" adds, but this one seemed interesting.

I am so nervous I don't know what to say for my speech.

I've procrastinated through out the semester and it was a bad idea. I told myself not to but I ended up doing it anyway. It sucks, now I am way behind and in 2 weeks I present.

I wish senior projects weren't mandatory, but at the same time I feel like…

Has anyone tattooed their head ?

I have over 50% hair loss due to AA. There are large amounts of white hair beginning to grow in large amounts. What should I make of it? I also have nummular eczema that appeared a few months before the first hair patch fell out. My allergies got horrible, skin looked like ringworm and pale, and hair fell out in large amounts.

I hate looking in a mirror sometimes, it’s like it’s a reminder of everything, but you know what gets me the most, its not the actual alopecia it’s the wig not looking right. It has just dawned on me all I am having is not a OMG I have alopecia moment, I am having a typical woman’s thought of man I am having a bad hair day and is actually totally normal woman’s issue of a bad hair day, sometimes it doesn’t do as its supposed too… but most woman say oh well put some product on and away they…
