More and More Comes Out

I have been losing my hair for about the last month. I thought I would blog about my experiences with alopecia. I knew that this was likely to happen one day because my sister all her hair five years ago. It was pretty traumatic for her at age 20. I'm 33. I don't have a problem wearing a wig. In fact, my hair has never looked better than it has since I've started losing it.
My first instinct was to go online and research what might help. I found a website for a shampoo that was supposed to improve my immune system. Sounds great until you realize that it is an overactive immune system causing the loss. I quickly ordered the shampoo from Thymuskin. Maybe it is working, maybe not. My hair is falling out and I've been using it for a month.
I had a dermatologist give me cortizone shots in the few areas that didn't have hair. However, more bald patches have since appeared all over my body so I'm not holding out hope for the cortizone. After reading that aloe vera has healing properties, I bought a bottle and some aloe vera juice to drink. I've been doing that for a week, but it hasn't made any difference. It still comes out.
I'll try to post pictures, but I'm not very tech savvy. I don't own a digital camera but I do have a camera phone. I will need to buy the cord to download the photos. Stay tuned.
