Hi Jeff, Welcome to the group. I had no idea of the varying forms of progression of AA/AU/AT until I joined this group. I've learned so much more here than...
Anita, Yes, it is enzyme (protein) rich...I hope it continues to work for you. I didn't have the chance to slow my loss down, it happened so quickly and never...
hi my name is courtney and I'm a new member to this group. I've had AA for 9 or 10 years now (I'm 36), spots and shots the whole time until 9 months ago when...
Welcome Jeff. I guess I am what they would consider to be the bad seed in this group, because I have not, and will not, learn to just "live with" this...
No bad seeds here Stein, not even you :) ...just cos we say we 'accept' it doesn't mean we like it...speaking for myself I can often do some ranting and raving...
Hi Courtney, Welcome to the group. I don't get a rash, but I do get dry, upraised spots on my scalp..they flake off when I scratch them. My thought..maybe,...
Oh my gosh, I could never think of anyone in this group as being a "bad seed"!!..For me, I've just been living with this for most of my life and have to put my...
Hi everyone! I'm new to the board, and fairly new to having AA (less than a year). I'm glad I found a place to talk about this disease!! Just wanted to let you...
Also, Kayla is still doing the fundraiser for CAP - Childrens Alopecia Project - you can email her about it at missindianriver2007@... This ends Oct 6....
With that in mind, I'd like to ask those who went from AA to AT - total hair loss, how long the progression was for you. Did you start off with one to several...
Wow, I had not seen that before. Hard to say if it is for real or a scam! Their prices are pretty steep, but it would be great if their products actually are...
Yes I'm sure these are the lace wigs. I wear lace wigs as well as suction. I only leave mine on for 3 or 4 days before reattaching though. I can't imagine...
As much as I disagree with Stein's attitudes toward this disease, I have to agree with him. Alopecia (in all its forms) is disfiguring. Disfiguring just means...
Carm, I think it's different with everyone. For me, it took 9 months to progress to au, and even then I had a little hair left on my head, which I decided to...
Hmmm on closer inspection the base sounds very different. They must still use processed hair for that price, as virgin hair is more expensive. I'm currently...
Thanks for that info Pat. I must say that my ! hairs are around the base of the bald spot, which is why I asked. Everything I read said the short stubby hairs...
I sent that link to someone I know and thought I'd post her reply: Hi, I would say this a total scam. I have seen it before. I believe I even contacted the...
The first time I went from AA to AT in about 6 months time. When I started to look like Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) with just a few patches of long ...
Hi Carm, I had one spot for about two years, (age 6 to 8), then I lost my scalp hair. Within a year, it had progressed to AU. I had peach fuzz (all white),...
... to progress to au, and even then I had a little hair left on my head, which I decided to shave off as it made me look ridiculous. Others seem to lose it...
Just FYI, please don't do anything you think is going to boost your immune system at this point, because right now your immune system is already boosted from...
Thanks Karen! That sure helps. I was wondering whether my immune system is deficient or is acting overtime or is just plain confused as to what to fight...
Carm, It took 3 years for mine to progress to AU. I would also say I was losing hair on my body for a long time before I noticed - who counts hairs on your...
Karen, I disagree vehemently. Every time I do something to boost my immune system, things improve. Exercise boosts the immune system. Eating well boosts the...
