Well, my names Megan and I am a very lively girl. I've had alopecia all my life and I'm 100% fine with it. It's who i am and i can't change that. I'm not a person that likes to show off her baldness, i wear a wig instead. i feel extremely sorry for my parents, they're struggling a lot money wise and I realize how much this is hurting my parents pockets but these wigs mean i can enjoy my social life just like anyone else.. and not have to worry about anything. I enjoy playing football, and pretty much any other sport! I've had several boyfriends and only one of them knew i had alopecia, he was fine with it. Get in touch i would love to meet anybody with the same problem, give them advice and just generally make friends.
Hi Megan,
How are you?
My son is in his first year of high school, soon to be 13. He doesn't want to wear a wig, he mainly wears a hat or beanie. Most of his friends know that he has alopecia but I think alot of people think he has had chemo.
So you find that wearing the wig helps you to cope better?
Susan
hey,
thanks for the add.you sound so chilled out about your whole experience with alopecia,i admire that :)
What kind of stuff are you interested in? x
Hi Megan, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
Hi Megan,
How are things?
We are ok today though Jon hasn't gone to school again today. Seeing my GP to see if she can refer us to someone as I can't get on to the child psychologist here.
Thanks Megan for the advice regarding a wig. I'll tell him and leave it in his court to make a decision.
By the way - I think you should try modelling, you are very attractive. I like your photo too.

Hi Megan,
Thank you for adding me. You seem like a real strong person and I am happy to get to know you. I am watching it thin a little every day and wondering how much longer I can somewhat hide it. I am not the combover type. I love my hair but like you said, it is who I am now. Never get down about it. Just make the best of it and know it is not that bad. As long as I get to enjoy my family and football, plus a sprinkle of hockey, working out and fourwheeling, I am good.
hi megan! thanks for your add. I also dont show my baldness, but starting to think i should take it off now and again as i'm getting lots of issues. I have also had it all my life but worn a wig since i was 16. Do you mind me asking where you get your wigs from? I've only ever bought fake hair wigs.
Hi Megan...I haven't been here in awhile but I just got your friend request and checked out your page! You have a great attitude!!
Keep Shining!!!

Hi ya I can see your also from the UK! Saw that you wear a mandeville wig. I have recently heard a lot about them and went to an appointment but because its a lot of money need to think about it. Do you wear a ready made wig or do you get it custom made? Do you think a hair cut makes a big difference in the ready made wigs because it seemed a lot of density? Have you checked out any other wig companies?
Cheers Laura
Cool. Thanks for the info. does the cut make a big difference in terms of removing density, did your ready made look wiggy before it was cut? How long have you had your piece for? I know what you mean about the parents but you cant help it, and im sure there happy that you have something your pleased with.
Cheers laura
Hi , im Super Sorry that I have not been talking to you now but things chang like sins I was in school I am going into difrent grads every year and mabyeI will have like so much good grads not like im not geting good grads . Rite (: bye Samantha
Its always encouraging for me to see someone with a good outlook on Alopecia. It's one I wish i wouldve had when I was younger thats for sure! I've considered a wig myself, but am unsure where I should look for some that would look real enough. Not only that, but I cant remember the last time I ever thought about a good hair style for myself lol :-P
