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

I am still very pleased with my hair pieces, and have got used to them. They have really helped my confidence a lot. Just had a photo taken on a windy ferry to Calais, and it was wonderful not worrying about bald sides and hairline!!
Hi Jules,
Thank you for letting the group know about the hairpieces. I was thinking of you only yesterday and wondering how you were doing with it. You must have heard me thinking. How do you think the piece would have worked if it was placed in a more conspicuous place. You mentioned that you still comb your hair over the piece. My hair loss is at the temples mostly with a bit at the top.
Mandy, thanks for the long anticipated encouragement! We all want to know someone whose condition has stabilized. So happy for you.
On a historical note, I imagine many may have already noted the obvious resemblance to FFA seen in portraits of Queen Elizabeth the First, of 16th century England. Just thought I'd share with you a link to a series of her portraits, as it appears she was already losing hair at a very young age. In 1546, when she was just 13, she had begun looping her side hair forward, in an attempt to cover the bald temples. Just for fun: http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/elizface.htm
I suppose it's a plus to be related to Royalty?!?
MJ, I have continued to have hair loss, more slowly, even though I am not having injections. The most intense losses occurred at the injection sites within one week of treatment. I think that for me the injections are accelerating the loss plus the area is completely bald. The areas of loss where no injections were done can be disguised somewhat effectively with dark eye shadow.
