Hey Gabby, sorry I haven't been home much this week as I've been at my cottage enjoying the nice weather. I go for acupuncture once a week (about, but the last few weeks I've been going once every two weeks). Each session lasts an hour and it costs $60. Many insurance companies will cover at least some of the cost (I've sent in the forms but haven't heard anything back yet). She's told me a few times that this wont be a quick fix and may take up to 6 months to see anything, but I like the way she treats my whole body not just the AA. Plus its relaxing and a nice break from my hectic summer.

the way some of the hairstyles are make them look a lil fake but once u get used to it and style it u cant tell its a wig...good luck and let me know if u have any more questions =)

Hi Gabby,
I danced for a longggg time, but i never had patience to wear a wig, so kudos to you. It made me too hot and irritated me sooo much. Anyways, I have an amazing wig that looks so natural. I got it here (New york City), so it might be hard for you to get here to see the wig person (word choice?). I don't know if i have any pics that you can see, but I can pull it back in a ponytail and no one would know the difference. It was expensive also, but let me know if you want more details. Hope to talk to you soon!

Hi Gabby,
You sound very talented! I would recommend a lace-front wig. It can look like your real hair line.

Hey Gabby, thanks for the comment you left. I haven't noticed any changes with the spots since I started going for acupuntcture. I feel better physically and things don't bother me as much but as far as the hair growing back, nothing...yet. My acupuncturist said it could take anywhere from a month to 6 months for it to work if it works at all. But I like how it makes me feel so I might keep getting them done that long. Plus it's cheaper for me than the injections and I don't get the divots in my head like I do from the shots. But I'll let you know if I get any results from it.

And thats cool about the music that you're into. I used to be a "band geek" in high school. Any band I could be in I would, and I don't regret it. After high school I joined a rock band and toured a little so it payed off. I'm thinking of giving it another shot here soon too. Hope everything else is good with you.
