    Hi

    I'm not good at technology but will try and send you a photo. I have lost about 3 inches from the forehead and round to my ears. I had my hair long and was wearing it up and hiding it with headbands. It just got to the point of being so fed up with the hair that was left. I don't regret the decision....yet...and I have to admit the wig is taking a while to get use to. I have a very small head and the wig lies in top of my ears where my glasses go so not the most comfortable after several hours. It is also very hot in the weather we have been having but in that case I just worn a baseball hat. I find it best not to make eye contact with people that way if they are staring I just don't notice. its a horrible thing to have but I would rather have this than an illness that meant I was in constant pain.  Take care

    Hey Halfbakedwho,

    Can you discuss a bit about your decision not to take Finasteride? Just wondering about the downsides of that medication. My dermatologist does not like to prescribe it, but she did not go into detail. Thanks!
