Im so so tired......
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm really tired of wearing my wigs. This is year seven for me and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I do have faith though since I met this hospital worker and she said it took 10 years for her hair to grow in and not fall out again...how remarkable!!!! I'm also tired of wearing scarfs and hats, but hey I guess I'll have to until I'm bold enough to walk outside without anything on my head....just a few thoughts.

I hear you. I don't why it happened this way for me, but after about a year of trying to wear wigs, scarves and hats, I just prefer to be bald - unless it's chilly and I need a scarf. I took small steps at first - to the store, to the library...and gradually just stopped caring about it. Now it's who I am. Maybe the next National Bald Out Day, July 17, 2010, will be Day One for you.
Good luck,
Mary

I tell people who express sympathy, or pity, for my hairless state exactly that: If you have to have an autoimmune disease, THIS is the one to have!

yeah I'm pretty darn sick of wearing wigs and looking like "patches the scrappy cat" or something with it off. I used to have the most gorgeous hair. I'm still thinking about the hair bonding so at least I can pretend it is my own hair. I have seen some regrowth so I just want to wait it out a little while longer. Hang in there you are still very beautiful and try to look at what you do have and not what you don't, that's what I try to do. But don't feel guilty for feeling the way you do. I have a lot of shallow friends that would probably kill themselves if this happened to them. The fact that one of them still complains to me about her "bad hair days" would make me mad if it wasn't so funny. And like I said before with H1N1 and who knows what next going around having an "overactive immune system" might even be a blessing in disguise.

Me too! This is year 3 for me, and I hate wearing a wig. It's the first thing that comes off when I get home! Everyone tells me my wig looks so natural they even forget I'm wearing one, which I guess is a good thing. I just wish it felt as natural as it looks. I hope someday I will be brave enough to go out in public without it, but I'm not there yet.

I don't know if this will help, but I have found the stretch caps on Estetica wigs to be more comfortable than other wigs I've worn.

I don't remember ever having hair, so it wasn't a hard decision for me not to get a wig. But my advice is to give up the wig. Be confidant in yourself. It's just hair!
Be daring and try a day without a wig. As long as you have confidence in yourself, nobody will question you not having hair.
I wish you the best of luck =)
