Hi Michelle,
I know how you feel. I had patchy spots for about 10 years and then it went into universalis. You'll find a lot of support here! I wanted to say hello and see how you are doing today.

I get my wigs from Starkles in the Myer Centre in the city. I love the Freedom wigs but you have to be totally bald or close shave your head to be able to wear them. Do you wear a wig at the moment?
I'm wearing a wig in my photos on this site, I've always worn a wig when my hair has fallen out... I can't go without one I feel too self-conscience. The Freedom ones sounds great, I've never had one of them before, you can basically do anything in them. The ones at Starkles are ok, I guess I go there because it's the only wig place I know in Brisbane, I've been to a wig place on the Gold Coast but I didn't really like any of their styles, I don't get longs ones any more because they knot up easily and the friction from your clothes means they don't last long... I usually get a new one every 8 months, that's about as long as they seem to last.

I live in Brisbane, where abouts do you live? It's interesting to see other Australians here, not many around. Welcome :-)
