Liz, what hairpiece are you using?  Is it one like Pam's?  I have still not found something yet.  I am in Kentucky....

Thanks Rita! I will call when I get back to town this week. I am also interested in the stick on ones that a couple of the UK ladies had made, I have a whole lot of loss in temple area as well as bang. Sounds like I'll be wearing a wig quilt with all the bits but can't stomach the full wig alternative. Does anyone know where these "side burns"can be found? Still trying all the meds but need a back up plan.
Ps I hate wind!

Marian, I live in Ontario & purchased the hairpiece from Rochetti's. It has 4 clips on top of head. She cut it according to my length & a little bangs into it. Mine is titled 'EasiPartHd' (heat difiant clip in crown volumizer)  on the box it has a website with a toll free # in Canada and can perhaps guide you to a place near you.  www.easihair.com   Hope this helps.

Rita-what kind of hairpiece did you get and where did you purchase it from? I am in Western Canada.

Thanks for replying all it is good to hear others stories and treatments etc.

Yes Liz very happy with the hairpiece. I had purchased a full wig a couple of yrs ago and although pricey, don't care for it as too much hair( from 1 extreme to another).

Hi Rita. It's great to hear that you are happy with the hairpiece you bought. It does make a lot of difference doesn't it :o)

C I am currently seeing Dr Wong at Hommerton hospital in north London. She attends the CARF meetings and I heard about her from Debs. My Gp referred me to Dr Wong and Dr Wong is happy to see me once or twice a year.

I still am taking absolutely nothing for the hair loss, except for the scalp injections which I still swear by.  I have more 'female pattern baldness' now, i.e. thinning on the top, but truly have not lost more than a few hairs from receding hairline recently.  It had receded about 3/4 inch before I got the diagnosis and started the injections, a little over a year ago.  Since then it has receded an additional 1/2 inch or so at the temples, in the first few months.  It has progressed less than that frontally, I rarely have any redness, and almost no itching at all anymore.  I hope that gives hope to some of our new ladies.

oh I forgot to mention I have an appt to have my eyebrows tattooed. Yikes am concerned as it is so permanent at least until touch up needed.

I stopped all meds & even the Clobetasol for scalp.  However, I am prepared to start the Doxycycline 100mg again if I see intense shedding. It is a terrible condition but thanks to Liz & her sharing of the piece she uses, I knew what to look for &  have purchased & often wear the hairpiece. It gives me confidence & I have no worries in the wind.
