Yes, but after each loss my hair grew back and lots of it. So, i lost and re-grew hair 4 times since 2006. My most recent loss has now left me with AU - i hate it. So, I am kinda of new to this also since i have no hair and doubt it will come back like before. No one can get use to it. I have finally decided to spend money on a nice vacuum wig (human hair) so i can FORGET about my alopecia. I don't know what you wear but i have always worn and gotten by with synthetic wigs. I can't stand the discomfort and feeling like i'm wearing a hat anymore. Freedom Hair from New Zealand is where my wig is coming from.
I never thought i would stop my treatment regimen i use to be on which was always Rogaine, Biotin and Cortison injections. Of course i will never know if those really worked for me since AA has a mind of its own and the cycle was always there.
I'm sorry you have to go through this! I have learned alot but now have more to learn. I really never thought i would lose all of my hair, never! But here I am!
thank you! i was reading over your profile and my jaw dropped when i read your 'about me'... you look younger than me! absolutely beautiful. i love the bald pic by the way. :)

Amy, what I love about a positive attitude is that it is free. It is free of shame...guilt...fear...anxiety...insecurity...etc. It is available to all of us. Here...take some of it!
:) That's mean! I slip into bed with it sometimes and turn and look at my hubby when he gets in - he laughs his butt off!
Yes - Tuesday at 10:00 sounds GREAT! We can meet in Golden OR we can meet at my home? Whatever works for you. Can't wait to meet you.
How funny - I have a halo too - I wear it with a hat to walk the dogs and had to hold it on my head yesterday as well! It's come off (walked under a tree and the branches caught it) and I was mortified. Not that the bald look is so scary - but that halo look ...My week next week is pretty crazy - Bob leaves on Monday at 1:00 - I have a 3:00 after that - Tuesday works - I have a 1:00 fundraiser but am open in the am????
Hi lovely! I wanted to meet you today but Bob (twin) has a tooth issue so I got him into my dentist for 11 today. Is there another day that works for you? Would you have time tomorrow or Sunday?
Hope your day is good - I kept laughing during the windy day yesterday telling my brother that if I didn't have my good wig on - I would have had NO HAIR! WOW! And then today is gorgeous...imagine that!
Of course - that's the one morning I can't. I set up a dental appt for Bob - (he hates the dentist - won't go - I am making him!) - Any other time? I have a 10 on Friday but it's in the neighborhood and I'd be done at 11.
Love love love your picture! Don't you wish the world was full of bald women so we could go out and not stress what others think?

I'm so sorry to hear that! Sucks! Any options out there for you? And coffee would be fabulous! My twin is in town - he's AU as well - you can pop by and meet us in Golden if you have time this week or weekend. I'm at 6th & 19th (right off Lariat Loop - where the bikes are busy running up and down the hill) :)

Is this your first bout with Alopecia Areata?
