hi guys! im lauren and im a 21 year old college student. one day almost 2 years ago i woke up to extreme diffuse shedding for no apparent reason. i was told it was telogen effluvium, but the shedding has spread to all the hair-baring areas of my body...so im really not sure what is going on! hopefully one day i will find out, but for now i would love to find support in this community!
No way! are you really?! What a small world! Knowing that I won't be the only one here going through this definitely comforts me! Are you already at USF or are you transferring here? I did the exact same thing, I compromised on a wig because i didn't think I would ever look like me again or be comfortable in one. But I went to this place in Orlando called Ritzy Rags and seriously they changed everything and helped me so much! They even give you a discount if your buying a wig because of medical reasons.... Lol but just a heads up, it's a gay establishment. The man that is the expert, leigh, performs as a woman by night! :) I know that sounds iffy! But please trust me when I tell you, He is fabulous! Wigs are a passion of his and its totally apparent with how he works with you! What I thought I wanted was complete opposite of what looked good on me and he literally looked at me and the first wig he put on me is the one I wear all the time (I actually bought two lol). And the place next door trims them for you, too. If you don't feel comfortable going, I love it so much that I would totally be willing to go with you. They are truly great!
hey! my mom works in the nicu. i'm still living in orlando but will be moving up to VA. I got a job right outside of washington dc so i will be living with my dad up there. good luck with your clinicals!
