I've got Alopecia!
Hey all,
Don't know if you remember my post a little while ago about the bald patches I was getting, but they have got a bit bigger!
Anyway I finally went to docs today and really thought all the hair loss was just down to losing the excess hair after pregnancy but she diagnosed me with Alopicia Areata.
I'm gutted as I love my hair lol, it's always been long and thick.
She did say that it can grow back by itself but there is no cure, some people even lose all their hair! That thought really scares me!
Has anybody else had this and got their hair back???
Faith.xxxxxxx

I have had this a yr ago xx
Can I just ask where abouts on your head that your losing it, is it just random places or more at the front or back??
I have one big patch on the top to the right of my parting, it's at the back, then a few more on the back of my head.xxx
We definately take it for granted, I always used to get annoyed with my hair in the wind when it blew everywhere and stuck to my lipstick lol, or when it wouldn't go right. I would say to my oh, 'I just want to shave it all off, it's so annoying'!! How I regret saying that now!!
You have a point there Rebecca, at least It's not cancer, for cancer sufferers the hair loss part must be the least of their worries.xxxxx
