Hi Michelle, Well a lot of people on the forums think I'm evil, as I don't think 40% of women will get AGA. I'm not a believer in rogaine, maybe because of the way they come into my salon and all they try to sell me on is the profit I will make. So to some I am the Evil Tig. Maybe because my Dad was a union leader and I was raised to stand up for myself. I think whatever form of hair loss we may have we research it like crazy. I know a lot about AA, AU, AT. I just learned about AD/ alopecia difusa. Since I have had areata on a yearly basis for 15 yrs, thats chronic so as far as I have read it can lead to difusa. I don't know if you know what Locks of love is, it's a nonprofit organization that helps kids as well as adults with AA, AU, AT. They take real hair and make them into wigs. So I always try to get a girl with long hair to cut it off make a change and put a smile on a little girls face. I also try to get other salons in the valley to participate. As for what I'm doing about my AA, plus AD, right now not to much, taking iron keeping my scalp clean and using high frequency current on my scalp. My areata spots are filled back in. I still have a lot of difusa everyday, but my top and back and left side is thick. It's only right nape where I also had a big areata spot, like two inches round, plus the difusa. So my back nape is thin and my right side above my ear. My hair strands grow back in nice and thick, no miniaturization. So thank god no AGA. I don't know if you read where it's hard for me to work right now being around hair all day depressed me so I took some time off. Needed to distress. I don't know anything about lupas or what type of hair loss it causes. What did the doctors tell you that you have? Did you have scalp loss and what was it like? Take care Thanks for being sweet Tig
