    I think it's hair loss.

    I don't have it, but a dear friend has had it for about 20 years. She has perfectly tattooed eyebrows and embraced her baldness. She's one of the loveliest women I know. Hang in there.

    I don't have alopecia, but I did lose quite a bit of my hair when I got a bad case of dengue fever. Not the same as what you are going through at all, but at least I have a little bit of a clue. So much harder to lose hair when you're a woman. There are a number of support groups out there. You may want to consider joining one.

    Sending strength to you!

    I don't have it but you are going to be ok. We all have battles to fight in this life. YOU are going to be ok and you are beautiful inside and out. Be strong for you and know that others will see you and also find strength and motivation...even courage in you :) You so got this.

    Thank you.
