Well..I'm very glad that all of your spots grew back! I am wondering if mine is because of stress...but I don't have a whole lot of stress...Just normal everyday things like working...kids fighting..but nothing bad! I can't really think of anything dramatic that has happened so I really dont know! I noticed that you said something in one of your earlier blogs about itching...When your hair was growing back in did it itch? Because mine is itching really bad and I have been wondering if maybe it was the clobetasol cream or hair growing back or falling out or maybe even the shots? I'm confused..lol..anyways thanks for the comment- it made me feel better and it gave me a little bit of hope!
My spots look alot like yours do in your pics! I have three spots though! But I am trying the shots and cream and they are getting bigger! If ya ever want to talk...I'm always here! How is your spots doing?
Hey Amy, my name is lacey.
I am in the exact same position as you, Last June my hair dresser noticed my first spot i completely freaked out then it continued to get worse gradually through out the summer it got to about 3 spots 2 in my bangs that wasnt fun and one at the side. My confidence was completely destroyed. However when i got my new boyfriend everything seemed to be looking up my spots began to grow back and everything its been 8 months now and all my spots have regrown but just yesterday i noticed a new one or what looks to me like one it still has hair but it looks like the beginning. Im upset scared worried its just so difficult how unpredictable this condition can be:( But all we can do i suppose is HAVE HOPE thats what i have learned.
talk to you soon
Lacey.
Hi Amy, just read your profile, sounds rather similar to mine. Im still hoping that my patch will grow back. I only noticed it feb this year, sooooo time will tell.
How is your re-growth going. I too started putting the steriod creams on, but made my hair look worse than it already did, lol, so stopped. All Im doing at the moment is taking iron tablets and B12, feel like I should be doing more, but dont really know what.
So heres hoping that our patches will grow back.
take care,
bel :)
sorrr i have not talked in a while i have been grounded from the comp so i here your husband is very supported and i hope he is suppotive well i have to go talk to you later bye

Hey amy! was just reading your profile and your story is very similar to mine! How is your hair doing at the moment? Did you find steroids worked for you? I had to stop the steroids because they made my scalp sting and itch! So im sticking more to herbal remedies at the moment, with not much luck to be honest! Your hair looks great in all your pics! And your dogs are extremely cute! hehe.
hi amy i have alopecia aretra and tust me your hair is beautiful compared to mine i lost all of my hair in the back,sides and near the the crown of my head i will hopfully soon but those pics on there so u can see them. your wedding pics are beautiful if you dont mind me saying when you told your husband that you had alopecia did he like freak out or did he just stay with you through the good and the bad times ?
Well welcome to the wold of Alopecia it gets better I promise. This is my second time , my hair falling out that is and I am in a much better place.
I have just accepted that my body will do what it wants and I have so much in my life to be happy for that i wont let this bother me or run my life again.
I would love to chat with you so drop me a message sometime.
Hi Amy, thank you for inviting me to read your story, seems very similar to mine. You're further in then me, and you've given me a little bit of hope! Thank you so much for that, it means so much! I'm currently using a steroid gel, hopefully it will make a difference, I cant help thinking there is more to come though! xxxxx

Hello and welcome, Amy!
I know how hard it can be. I now have universalis, and have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might help you understand more about the condition, and it's a fun read. You can find out more on my page -- and let me know if there's anything else I can do!
