I came across pictures of my bald spot taken two months ago. I forgot I took them. It is hard for me to get a good view of my bald spot being that it is on top of my head. I took some pictures tonight to compare. I can't believe how bad it is getting. It makes me wonder if it will ever stop. The cordisone shots have stimulated hair growth, it is hard to tell in the pictures, but there is stubble there now. But I wonder what is the point???? If the hair continues to fall out, then it will all be in vain. At what point do you just give into it and realize that you don't have control over what is going on, or that there is nothing that can fix it? Do I continue the injections and see? or should I just go with it?

I have my second injection appointment next Friday. I think if after a month to 6 weeks afterwards there is not enough results, I might stop. Even if I start to grow hair back, but the hair continues to fall out, I won't be able to hide the spot and will need to wear a wig anyways. From what I am learning about Alopecia Areata, at anytime a new spot could arise and then what??? Try and hide it too. I am already starting to get tired of wondering. I just want to know what to do, what is going to happen.

It is amazing how depressing such a thing can be. Why me? Why now?
