My Hair Loss Journey - Alopecia Areata & Ophiasis 

Hi there, you are more than welcome. Even if it helps one person, that's what counts!

I'm glad this brings you some comfort you so deservingly need with this condition! I recommend joining the Facebook Alopecia UK group for further support, there's so many of us really, it's important to know you're never alone with this ❤

Hi @angelchickie101, I'm sorry to hear this because I know some of your struggles. I hope you can find reassurance in knowing it gets better. The condition itself can and will always be a roller coaster, but being at a place of acceptance and managing it physically and emotionally WILL get easier ❤

Hi Sheri, thank-you for taking the time to comment - it means a lot! Sorry to hear you are also suffering - I hope to cover the Ophiasis pattern in a more dedicated video at some point but this might be quite a bit in the future, with a lot going on right now! Times ahead will be hard, and most certainly emotional; like a perpetual roller coaster, there will highs and lows continuously. I recommend looking after your bio hair in the meantime but saving for a wig just like you suggested - it's always great to have that back-up plan! I sadly couldn't afford one until recently, and I am just over 3 years from when I was first formally diagnosed. Do not by any means think that your hair loss limits your options; they are hard to see at times, but there's great ways of getting creative! Best of luck! x

Hi there Kari. I hope you made the best decision for you, it can certainly be a tough one to make! Stay strong 💪🏻

Try this even me I'm having same problem ,it keeps on relapsed small coin size , hope this cream helps us all

Hi there, yes there can definitely be a mixture of sensations on the scalp ranging from tingling, itchiness and beverage sensitivity - all varying in degrees of intensity too! I've had them all, at different stages of the conditions. Unfortunately due to the extensive loss on mine, it was deemed Steroid injections wouldn't likely work. However I do wish with hindsight I pushed for these more at the start just to try! Hope this helps, hope you had some success!

Pl share your update

Although a very delayed reply, I hope you had all the success with your Steroid Injections! 😊

Hi there Kk Ww, sorry to hear you're struggles with this! Alopecia really isn't a friendly condition and it's sadly very misunderstood! In the case of mine, it's an autoimmune disorder, similar to what you're Doctor has mentioned from the sounds of it. Which means coming to terms with the condition being out of our control is difficult. It's especially difficult when we have to accept that the outlook that we might ever have a cure is minimal. There will be highs and lows with this condition, and it's all about learning to ride those waves as they come. Coming to terms with those facts are the worse and we all do what makes us feel our best while on that journey! You do what you feel most comfortable with and best for you, only you know you're own body at the end of the day and I truly wish you the best of luck whatever you decide :)

Yes I shave my head last week, mine isn't bad it's just small coins size patches , but they keep on relapsed , well I'm gonna try using the lobate gm neo cream , try Google about this cream and I hope it helps you and will let you know more ..all the best and you are beautiful and always stay happy as you are .stay safe

Thank-you 😊
