Wigs are annoying, but you get used to it and it becomes like an extension of yourself! Haha. The wigs I had all through high school required that double-sided tape to hold to my head, but I have a wig now that sorta suctions itself to my head haha.

I moved to NYC about two weeks ago! I'm still getting used to it. I was in DC for the past four months, so I've grown accustomed to the east coast weather at least haha. Are you in NYC?

hey sorry it took so long to reply...how are you doing? i read your info and blog and such, and yeah ive been there :(

but im here if you wanna talk about it :)

Hello. Jillians pediatric dermatologist allows us to purchase the DCP from a local compounding pharmacyvia prescription & I apply it myself at home...cautiously. Mabye this will be possible for you as well.

Hello Gabriella. What a beautiful name! Jillian is still using DCP once a week, low dose, minimal sparse dabbing to apply. We have found that her cycle is somewhat like a bird molting its feathers ( only in the opposite order). During darker colder fall & winter months she loses her hair. When the alopecia is more active during those months we apply the med more frequently & sometimes increase the dose during that time as well. Apply to spots when its active & do random dabs when it seems to be the growing season. This works for her so far. I should post some recent pics. Last spring her crown was bald, now she has about 4 inches of hair on it & the spots she lost over the winter have about 2 inches of new hair. We also use a narrowband UV light (phototherapy) in the winter for a few minutes a day a couple times a week in hopes of mimicing the suns natural effects of heat & light to her scalp. I know her alopecia is still active because her body hair is still patchy, & minimal but it even grows back more in the summer. Eyebrow & eyelash loss are less in the summer as well. So we continue to use the DCP as a "maintenance" dose. She tolerates it well & has achieved the desired effect with minimal itchiness & irritation but enough for it to work. Good luck to you. Keep us posted.
