Helloooooooooo! Sooo you are the Canadian Rep.....Nice to meet you!

Hi! aw thanks for the kinds words!! Are you thinking of starting meetings?

I am excited for the vacuum but nervous too. I will get my gripper next week and i'm nervous about it also. Guess, i just want it to look like me and not too much contrast from my synthetic wig. I just don't want to draw attention if it looks too different. I will send pics of my gripper and vacuum when i get it.

I just need to trust the experts from Freedom and my rep. it's just nerve wracking when you spend so much money - and so, you want it to look just like "yourself" not like a "wig".
Thanks for your positive comments.

thanks for the comment on my profile pic. so weird my sister is going thru chemo and losing her hair. she totally gets what i go thru except hers will come back.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for talking to Jim @ CANAAF about my situation! I just emailed him (my mom was visiting for the past few days, so I didn't see your message until now).

I really appreciate the help and support!

And by the way, you are absolutely gorgeous! :)

Hi Jennifer,

We are heading to Winnipeg for Isabella's appt on Thurs at 12:20 p.m.. We are staying at the Canad Inn on Pembina. Can email me at pennycarpenter@knet.ca if you are available to meet or here. Sorry would of contacted sooner, but, my time just flys :)

Thanks for your lovely comments.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for the kind comment on my photo! I'm still getting used to the whole "vacuum" style wig.. Did it take you a long time to get adjusted? I can't seem to perfect the right fit on my head each time. It can be quite the struggle sometimes! Very frustrating, sometimes I can't even imagine having to move a lot in it or put a hat on because it would mess with the suction! Any advice you could give would be help SO much! Your hair looks amazing, im so jealous! Your photos are beautiful!

Thanks Jennifer! Would you be interested in comparing notes about how you are organizing in Winnipeg, with what we are doing in Vancouver? I have this vision - as I noted on the Canadian discussion board - of many of us from across the country, working together - and with CANAAF - to develop our local groups. : )

Hi Jenn,

Thanks for the msg :) I have just started on this site I am so happy I found it too there is only one other person I know that has Alopecia so it is nice to find support. I always cheer on the Jets I am so glad we have them back :D I hope this day is finding you well talk to you soon

Its so nice to know im not alone with this. Before I found out what I had I was just a mess. My husband was so helpful with all that was going on he came to all my appointments with me and help me though a lot. But its nice to know there are other people like me who know what I am going through and I like the fact that we can all help each other get through the hard times and laugh at all the good :) well I just heard the baby wake up so you have a great weekend and hopefully it will be a little warmer tomorrow

Hi Jennifer!
Thank you for the warm welcome! I am definitely enjoying Winnipeg's amazing spring weather, and thank goodness it has come early! I honestly have no idea how i randomly just stumbled upon the group..or this website, but I think it's amazing that there is a support group out there..wish I knew about this earlier! Do you guys still meet once a month?

As for decorating skills, my mom would probably be the best person for that as I am nowhere compared to her skills..if you need a cake for your daughter's birthday we can definitely help you out (facebook.com/sugarbloomsandcakes).

Hi Jenn not heard for awhile seems you doing Ok Pat and I are well or will be after I finish this Election on Saturday, although I have now been asked to run for local government, just seeing whats on offer. To think this was supposed to be retirement. My daughter and I are doing a trip the too of to Thailand bonding tour. Stay frosty

Thanks Jennifer! We'll have to meet someday!

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much, you look very happy at your photos :)
How are you?

Hi! How fun! :)

Wow thank you so much Jennifer:)

Take care!

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It has been such an emotional struggle these past few months and finally I have found a site where there are people who truly understand what my daughter and our family are going through. I hope to find a support group in Ottawa, Ontario and will keep looking.

Take care,
Marilea

Hi Jenn, thanks for accept the friend request. I like this site and I send you an e-mail I wish you read it and I wrote my story. Warm wishes, Noon.

Thanks! Good to hear there is a Wpg group.

Hi Jennifer, i'm so sorry its taken me this long to reply to you...busy busy! Thank you so much for your message. Do you have dates that you will be in the Toronto area? I'm really interested in the vacuum wigs becuase they're getting great reviews on the internet and i'd love something that looks realistic but also something that i don't have to adjust every 5 minutes! Is there any chance that you can give a roundabout cost of the hair pieces? I imagine they're expensive??

Hi Jennifer ! I live in France, Paris area. I have AU. I'm 58 and lost all my hair (1st time) within less than a week last December. From what I read freedom wigs look great. Could you tell me what your wigs are called in French, please ? I looked up the Freedom Hair site but couldn't find any representatives in France... Could you find out for me please if there really aren't any ? Could you also give me an idea of the price ? Thanks a lot in advance for your reply. Have a good day.

Hi Jennifer!

Thanks for the tip on the Canadian group. I'll join for sure, once I find it!

Your hair looks nice. You are very beautiful and have a beautiful family. I see you are waterskiing--what are you wearing for water sports? I workout with a scarf, but wondered about other options. Thanks.

Thanks Jenn!

You are so beautiful!! I really enjoyed looking at your pics! You look so happy, but I know you have struggled just like any woman would that is losing her hair. Your wigs look amazing and so natural. You definitely have given me hope. :)

Hi!
I'm not sure where exactly in Canada you are located (I'm in Montreal) but I was wondering how and where you got your freedom wig? IT looks great btw!! :)

More inspiring would be women with AU  alopecia and don't feel the need for a wig, hat scarve. Just saying love yourself.

You bet!

Hi,

Thank you for your message. Yes my message was previous to finding your information on this site. Happy to find you and learn about the vaccum wig :)

Laura

Hi

How are you?

I have a question from you...I see your photo and I understand that you have kids...Did they have any problem like us, or not?
Sorry about my question, I'm single but I want to know if I marry and have kids,they will have this problem or not

Thank you

You are beautiful!  Thank you for sharing your story.  I have had alopecia since I was 4 and I have not gotten to the place that you are.  Way to Go!  Your confidence is inspiring.
