Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi Becky, Ely has alopecia also. He is missing an eyebrow at the moment. He used to have a lot of quarter-sized bald spots all over his head. His is caused by hypothyroidism. I can tell when his synthroid level needs up because his eyebrows will disappear. I have type 2 diabetes myself. It is very prevalent in my family so I monitor Ely closely. I'm sure it is just a matter of time Thanks for the welcome and congrats on the new baby, Janet {Disarmed} Re: introduction Hi Janet ~ Welcome! I have a 12 year old son as well, Dylan. He has down syndrome & autism as well (along with type 1 diabetes & alopecia). We are in southeastern Wisconsin. He was an only child, but we are in the process of adopting our 9 month old foster baby. He's adjusted quite well - we've had the baby since January. I'm sure you will find lots of good information & advice here on the list. Becky Janet Buttrick wrote: Hello! My name is Janet Buttrick.
