Hair loss

I have loss all my hair.  I wear a wig.  My hair fell out in Feb and they tell me it is due
from the all the medication and stress on my body from the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm I
had last Aug.    They tell me it will come back.  As a woman I really have that low self esteem
and I just can't figure out why they can't get it to come back in.  I am lucky to be sitting here as
I almost didn't make it so I am very lucky and I thank god everyday for pulling me through but
I wish I knew what so do about this Alopecia I have.  Has anyone out there loss their hair completly??

Hello and how are you this fine evening, well let me tell you I had and still have alopecia areata; since I was seventeen years old. The first time I lost all of my hair it toke a whole year for it all to come out; yes I was (BALD) and I had the most prettiest hair any one could have, it was dark red ( dark alburn), thick as can be and long with big waves in it. That was twenty-four years ago and they did not know what was causing it to come out and I got shots in my head and that hurt and cost a lot of money, so that did not last long try all different things to try to make my hair grow back and plus all the money on wig ,weaves ,scarfs and hats. So my hair grew back and came out again and grew back again and God its coming out again and it has not came out in a long time, it really never came back 100%, but the hair that did come back was thick so it cover the bald areas  and its pass my shoulders and the pass two months it been coming out bad. I think it has a lot to do with my thyroids I use to be hyperthyroid with graves and a toxic goiter ; got that treated and now I am hypothyroid and iI been off my medicine for a while but I have been taking it now for about three months now. I think when I take my medicine my hair start to fall out , because when I don't my hair did not fall out at all. What a choice take medicine and be Bald or don't take medicine and be very sick. My doctor is going to have to come up with something for me I can not take it again being BALD. Twenty-four years is a long time to go though this on top of everything else I have been though.

PS. I know that I had no answers for you, but just let you know you are not a lone.

                                                                                       Take care

You are not alone. I have Alopecia and have lost all my hair on the top of my head. The size is approx. 2 1/2" wide and 4" long. I have another spot on the left side of my head., size 1 1/2" by 1". Luckly this one is covered from some of the remaining hair. I have to wear either hats all the time or if I'm going out I put one of my many wigs on.  

My hair loss started back 15 years ago with thinning hair on top. As the years went by the hair loss got more promident. 4 years ago I finally had to cave in and purchase wigs. The hat just wasn't doing it anymore. There is soo much scaring that my hair will never grow back in.

I have accepted this out come and as they say "Life goes on". Never give up. Try to have a possitive out look. It does work....

Wishing you all the best.

I am also losing my hair. I am looking into wigs and it sounds as though you know exactly what I am going through as a woman with the feelings of low self esteem and vulnerability.
I don't want someone to take me as a fool and sell me the most expensive wig but I will pay a high price for quality. Please advise?

anyone?
