Happy New Year to everyone on this site, I hope yesterday started out good for all of you! I'm just kinda glad that the holidays are all over for now until...
That's really excellent Tracy! but do you think that we should refer to our condition as a 'disorder' rather than a 'disease'? I look forward to one day seeing...
Anyone try Olux Foam or Protopic Ointment? Seems my head is tender and burning like and would like opinions of others. In my 3rd year with alopecia and doc...
Do you think alopecia feeds on sugar like cancer does when we get it later in life? Has anyone tried a total sugar free diet to see if hair would grow back? ...
Hi Mini (love the name btw)- I did try Protopic as a last resort but it didn't do anything for me. I didn't have any side effects from taking it. My doctor...
I wouldn't think so but it's interesting you should mention it as I was talking to someone yesterday who is co-writing a book about cancer and sugar. The sugar...
Well my lackadaisical attitude to attaching my wig securely has come back at me big time.I went into the surf yesterday and took one too many big waves and...
My name is Sammi. I am 31 and have had Alopecia since I was a kid. I did go years without any bald spots. I started gettign bald spots again about 2 years ago....
Pat~ sorry to hear the ocean has taken one of your wigs! that's so sweet of your hubby to have come to your rescue though! I will keep my eye on the beaches...
Yes Em, it's my new toplace wig that I posted a pic of :-( Fortunately I ordered two the same, so I have a backup but I'll be ordering another one asap. Pat ...
Hi Sammi and welcome to the group! I agree with you .nothing like having our own hair even with all its faults its OURS (and it doesn't come off in the surf...
Hi Thanks for the info about the grant. Where on the NAAF website is it? Can anyone apply or do you have to be a member? The only grant info I can find is...
Hey folks!! I used to be a member on here (and still am apparently as Carol in the pics section). I just wanted to say hi and I really sympathise with those...
Anyone can apply for the grant I got it last year and Im hehehehe thirtysomething - I know the naaf is working on a bill to help with insurance -- good luck ...
Isn't it nice we can laugh at ourselves? But it still ticks you off when you've paid good money for a nice wig...I forgot I had mine on last month and opened...
Carol~ well you seem to have a superb attitude towards this whole thing, even with the situation at work. I too have had alopecia since I was 18 months old...
Hi. Joined the group in the last week and was also wondering if it is 'normal' to have episodes of being very TIRED and your head 'tingling' when it is falling...
Hello, I have a question for anyone who has tried the clear iodine. My son who is two has AA/AT and I started using it on him last week once a day. It looks...
My 4-year-old daughter says it burns really bad. I stopped using it and switched back to the corticosteroid cream as that was working previously anyway, for...
Hi Mary, Thanks for the info. I feel pretty bad now if it was painful for him. I did tell his Dr. that we were going to try iodine. He said that it would...
I don't think you did any harm! It just probably bothers him because it does burn until it dries. Have you tried corticosteroid cream yet? If not, I'm really...
Hi Mary, Thanks again for your reply. Our son's Dr. did mention steroid cream but because he was/still is to young when his AA started we really didn't want...

Wow! It sounds like you have found a much, much better dermatologist than the one we have. He seems very helpful to you. I don't know what it is, but the...
Kat~ for me it only hurt if I had an open wound or pimple on my head when I applied the iodine. Maybe since he's so little, and his skin is so 'new', you...
Kat~ Since I am no doc this is gonna be hard to describe. My husband and son both have these little bumps on their upper arms; mainly on the outside of the...
Hi! I have been using the iodine for the past month and a half. The first week I used it my head tingled - did not burn - just very cold and smelly. Maybe...
Thanks everyone for your responses. I think it might be a combination of the cold of the iodine and the tingle/burn sensation directly after application. It...
