Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Hi Rita
not Hi Kijijji. My fingers are faster than my brain. lol.
Hi Kijijji,
I saw a place in St Catherine's on Kijijji. They custom make partials according to their advertisements. When I called, they were trying to sell the whole wig.
Yes I called a place who advertises heavily on the radio for wigs called Gabi's and when I described my problem and that I just need a hairpiece that would cover that area, they merely pointed out that they have lots of wigs. Perhaps the person who answered was unaware if they have such.
Hi C,
Jules and Pam are in England and I live in Canada. I am looking to find someone who can do what they described but so far everyone is trying to make me buy a wig which is not necessary at this point. I still have quite a lot of good hair.

Something led me to investigate the Women's Hair Loss Project website. It seems to be geared more toward AA and forms of alopecia that strike younger women. But I want to encourage everyone to watch the video on the upper left of the home page, within the blog "Grace & Beauty Defined". It's a beautiful, emotional, and inspiring video. http://www.womenshairlossproject.com/
Hi Jules,
I would be very happy to help if you still need bodies.
All the best
Claire
Jen - you may have read that several ladies have had hairpieces fitted that remain in place for a short period of time, throughout all activities. Certainly Jules and Pam have had this done in the UK - not sure where you are but it's worth researching. Good luck ! x
Hi Irene,
I have lost about 1.5 inches at the sides, more around the ears and about .5 inches at the forehead. I have been pulling my curly hair forward while wet and keeping in place with bobby pins until dry. It stays that way. People say that I look different but cannot really figure out what has changed. I am not sure how long I can continue to hide it though since the hairline keeps advancing. I was thinking of getting the sides covered with strips of hair like maybe sideburns pieces. I am not so sure how it will look though.
Just diagnosed with ffa. I keep thinking I will wake up and it is a dream. I am in NJ and looking for a good doctor. I am seeing someone in NYC but hoping to find someone closer and who may take insurance. I have an appointment to get a hair piece or wig. Just looking for friends and advice. Thanks. Irene
