That totally sucks Davie hope it goes okay if there is anything I can do to help let me know.
Kids can amaze you with their resilience and she has already had to deal with having you as her dad so she is clearly made of strong stuff...

That's horrible Davie. Hope it gets sorted soon but she finds the strength to deal with it in the meantime.

Hey Bud
Got home today and spoke to Petra about this and she reminded me we watched an episode of "Food Hospital" that had an Alopecia sufferer and some dietry changes improved the condition from recollection.
Found the episode and hope it helps

Really appreciate the warmth in this thread.
Will keep updating with progress and I'm sure we will get through it. Olivia is a tough
Cookie and as Eck pointed out she has me as a Dad.
Thanks to everyone of you who has posted on here. It means a lot.
This type of thread is what Blonde is about.

Please try and get in touch with support groups
I think one was linked to earlier in the thread
One of my lads has Aspergers and has difficulties in a few areas. One of these for example is that you can give him an exam essay question and a blank answer sheet and his mind goes blank. Conversely he can get A grades in Maths and Science subjects without ever having looked at a book.
GCSE time, at the moment, is a rough few weeks, to say the least, in hte difficult subjects.
We began to go to a support group on Saturday mornings and this had a few effects
a) It helped him see that he wasn't on his own, that other kids were going through various things too. I'm only guessing but I think this would be important for a young girl with a lot going on in her head as she adjusts to all of it
b) As a parent it helps you talk to others in the same situation
With both, friendships can ensue.
The doctor or specialist will have all the details of local organisations to you that can be there if you need them.

I know it's easy to say, but when it comes down to it, I'm sure both you and she will cope very well.
It's amazing how resilient people can be when they have to, and good strong parent / child combo's are the toughest of all.
I'll drop you a PM in the next day or so if that's OK.

+1 to using Support Groups.
A very good friend of mine has a son who has a few problems, & Mum & Dad were devestated, did not know how to handle it or what way to turn.
They got involved with a Support Group, & it has made the world of difference, both to the boy, & the parents.

My sister has it. At first she was devastated, mainly thinking negatively about how everyone would look at her. But now, she treats it as a feature rather than a problem. She has come to terms with it and is perfectly happy.

I just know how devastated my wife was when my daughter got a chicken pox scar on her face last year..My daughter is fine with it, often its the parents that can't handle it or adapt!

My kid brother had quite bad Alopecia during his teenage years. The more he worried the worse it got, until it must have got to a stage where he thought, it was as bad as it could get. At that point he started to cope with the stress of it, and then it started growing back.
Now in his mid forties, he still has a full head. He gets the occasional bout, but all stress related.
I know that he a bloke and probably doesn't help none, but it can and does go in time.
Good luck to her.
