Hi I am a 32yr old Southland Mum & I have been getting this very embaressing condition since about the age of 13. It comes and goes but mostly stays.

Hi 32 Yr old MUM,

I am 35 years old mother of 2 beautiful children. I too have lost my hair. no not completely but it started just recently this past april i noticed a very small patch on top of my head a little to the left. it was smaller than a die and now depressing as itis it is the size of a regular size coffee cup. I know they too tell me stress but how are we not to stress. I am a ball o it, stress that is. I need help suggestions anything. I have a little more and than I am shaving my head. This is embarrassing enough not having hair, let alone thinking once I shave it what will people think. I dont want to shave it but I dont have much more time because it is now going toward the front of my head. Maybe we can help eachother. I have been getting injsctions in my head for the past few months the hair is slowly growing very slow.

Hi, I just replied to another similar post too. Are you being treated for this? I have had this condition for about 1.5 years, and I can not be sure the treatment is working. Mine is patchy all over, but most significant on top and above my left ear. Are you looking into any hair replacement? I am not sure if the scalp can even hold a strand of hair now.

to 35 year old Mom of two beautiful children: what sort of injections are you getting? something that would help hair grow, or something to stop the hair loss?
