I went to Lynn's wig shop down in American Fork. Hope this helps!

I know that in the next couple of months I am going to need to get a wig. I am gearing up for this and was wondering if any of you have an wig shops you would recommend. It looks like many people order online but that makes me nervous and I don't want to waste my money... so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!! :)

I won't be able to make it to the NAAF conference this time. I've never been able to go but I plan to someday. I think it would be great!! Good luck. Travel safe :)

Hello... Is anyone else (besides myself) from Utah going to the NAAF conference in June?

I don't know if squaric acid and anthralin are new. I Googled both and found the recommended use is for those suffering from AA. It seems the anthralin is a little easier to find in Utah. It is time consuming but not as invasive or painful as the injections seem to be. The only side effect we saw was a red tender head that itched when she got hot. Both were tolerable for the then 8 year old. I'm sure it isn't for everyone but it may be worth asking about.

Hey everyone, just reading through some of your comments. I have AA, my hairdresser and I discovered my first patch of missing hair about a year and a half ago. It is pretty much all gone now. I also lost the eye lashes one eye lid. I work at the U and have been to Dr. Krueger. Only the first appointment takes a while to get in, once you are established as a patient you can get in much faster. He is said to be an expert although he really could not help me. I have had many many steroid injections but they did nothing to stop the hair loss. I have not heard of squaric acid and anthralin. Is this something new?

Well, I might as well make the appt now if I have to wait a little while! Thanks. My parents cabin is in the Bar x ranch group. It is so beautiful there! You are so lucky. I can't believe how much snow was still there, and coming down just a few weeks ago. Thanks for the help!

Yes i do recommend Dr. Krueger. He gave me several options. You have to have the 1st appointment with him at the U and he is a couple of months out. I live in Woodland and work in Kamas.

I will have to make an appt with him. Thanks Cynthia. I read your info and I love to read and stitch myself! I love to go to pineneedles in Gardener Village, That store is danger for me :) I find that i am reading and stitching a lot to escape focusing on my hair loss.Once the weather stays nicer I will be out in my garden venting.There are so many brave women here. I appreciate all of your suggestions. Thanks!

I went to Dr. Krueger for a second opinion. Glad I went, he helped me understand alopecia better and my options. My primary dermatologist is Dr. Panko at Taylorsville Clinic. She's sweet. Neither seem to mind questions. We've come up with new ones for them each time I went.
