About Me:
hi, I've had alopecia since I was 13. I become totally bald at 18 and then it grew back at 22, I had a good 10 years with hair until it fell out again last year and as you can see i'm bald once more! I wear vacuum fit wig at work and if I'm going out which has been absolutley brill, I totally recommend it.
What amazes me is how much easier it is to deal with now than when I was 18!

    Hiya Jo, I just want to say i have only found this site today, but i feel that iys going 2 be a lifeline. We seem 2 have been in the same boat with alopecia for about the same amount of time, the only exception is mine has never grew back, but you never know stranger things have happened.

    Well i hope you are well and if you ever want to chat send me a msg.

    Take Care xx

    Hi Jo,
    Yep we're pretty close, do you go to any support groups locally. I am going to the B'ham group mtg this Saturday (18th October). Its going to be help at Carrs Lane Church in the city centre.

    I wear a dermalite wig and I'm going to collect my new one tomorrow and I can't wait. I have these on prescription and have to pay £220. How do you get on buying vacuum wigs, do you get any financial help towards them.

    I am also going to Heidi Worman's open day in a couple of weeks time to have a look at the semi permanent eyeliner. I've had my eyebrows done but am not very happy with them.

    If you want to chat, please feel free to contact me,

    Starr xx

    Jo,

    Hope you are OK.

    If you want to go to the next group meeting, and you wanted someone to go with we could meet up first, I'm pretty quiet and shy myself and it would be nice to have someone to walk in with.

    Have a think about it - no pressure - honest.
