    Hi Tracy, that is exactly what happened to me --I had patches for about 20 years and then it all fell out. What a bummer. How are you doing today?

    Hi :)
    how are you?
    thank you for the lovly comment. Actually I don´t feel too good wearing my wig. I just don´t look like myself and its a bit uncomfortable. I know this sounds crazy :D
    I really like your hair. It looks so naturally and fits so well. Do you use a vacuum wig or a lace wig?

    Hey Tracy :D
    I don´t have a vacuume wig, just one with a plastic film in the inside, which is fixed with glue. My hair starts growing back (gwuad I´m so excited about that!!!) a little bit and the doctor told me better not to wear a wig again. So I did what he said and went to school with just a scarf on my head. Even though acceptance and support were great, I somehow feel so bad about it... I don´t know why but I wish I didn´t ...
    I can´t get used to our problem as well, but I guess we have to keep on fighting and living our lives :) I´m sure you´re strong and can cope with it very well :)

    Hello, Tracy..I read that you purchased an Amy's Presence and hate it....why is that?? It is not a vacuum, therefore, is it suitable for someone with diffuse hair loss, but not bald? And what do you hate about it?? You have to go thru some changes to even be able to get one of those wigs, like find a salon to go to, custom fit, and all of that..then they have to maintain it I think. Lots of bother and effort, but the cyberhair seems like it would be a good thing....not????
