BigTimmy, I`m sorry to hear about what is happening to you. I lost alot of my hair when I was 10 years old, and it`s happened off and on since. the doctor`s told me it was stress or the perm I had. It was very tough for me to get through it, but I graduated H.S. this year and I still living with it. Are you on any medication for this? I was on a cortizone cream, but that didn`t help me alot. There`s also shots they have to make the hair come back. I will tell you that there are alot of mean people that will pick on you, but this is the time to find out who are really your friends, they`ll be the ones that stick with you and want to help you get through this. Be tough...it`s not as bad as it seems. There is a magazine that I used to get with interviews and stories by others with this, maybe that will help. I hope this is only a temporary condition for you and that you can live a normal life, but if this last your whole life you`ll be just fine. It`s not contagious and you won`t die, so don`t be afriad to live life like you would if this wasn`t happening.
My daughter has had alopecia areata since 3rd grade.It brakes my heart to see her lose and grow her hair back. It never comes back copletely before it`s falling out again.She has had to wear it in a pony tail on top of her head,but this does not cover all the thin spots. I have seen her turn down events with her friends and I know it`s her hair loss. We found one dermatogist that knew what this was. temavate is what had worked for my daughter but not anymore. It doesn`t stop the hair from falling out but helps it grow back in. My daughters hair reacting to it. We also find that she was gaining weight on it. She is now taking a hair loss vitamin that at one time seem to help, but we ran out for a while before I was able to get anymore. Right now her hair is falling faster than it`s can come back and you can see the bald area . My friend told me of a web sight for a study they are doing at m.d.anderson`s in texas. I beleive it`s www.mdanderson.com If it`s not correct I`ll contact my friend and post it again.
