I’ve had alopecia since fall 2006, first in small patches on the back of my head, but now it’s progressed to totalis. Since it’s winter I get by wearing beanie caps, but now that it’s going to warm up I’m getting a wig. I hate wearing scarves because it’s so noticable. I show horses too, and showing in a scarf wasn’t fun. I don’t know how long this is going to last, so I hope that a wig will eventually feel normal for me. I’ve heard that when it’s this extensive it’s less and less of a chance to grow back normally, but I keep hoping and praying that if God has an extra 5 minutes maybe He would help me, but I know there are more important things for Him to do. Normally I’m okay because I don’t think about me not having hair, but when I do start thinking about it, or see a picture of me from just a year ago with long thick wavy hair, I start crying. I really hope they do work on finding a cure very soon, I can’t wait to be carefree again.

Jessica,
I have lost almost all of my hair and have to wear a wig. I have had steroid injections which made me very sick and now I am trying acupuntcure. All I want is my hair back does anyone know of any cure? I feel helpless and alone. I hate going anywhere when I wear a cap because I feel like people are staring at me but when I wear my wig I feel like there staring too. With all the medical break throughs hopefully one day a doctor will care enough to find a cure for Alopecia. I do have hair growth in spots but I still have a lot of bald spots. I wish I could say it will go away but for now I don’t know. It started April 07 and has not got better but I am hopeful that I will get all my hair back.
