About Me:
After having been wrongly diagnosed with telogen effluvium early August 2012, my hair, which I hadn't lost completely then, grew again and within a week end November I lost it all ... I started wearing a wig early December but have the feeling I might stop wearing it in the summer (to go out). As soon as I get home I take it out, wear a turban (English word ?) or nothing at all, because it itches.
I also have Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Back again Aug 2013, made my 'coming out' at the end of June, haven't worn a wig during the summer, maybe once or twice on special occasions, feel great without one unfortunately the cold will be back and I'll need sthg, I think I might invest in even more turbans ;. People around me think I'm very brave, I don't just think i'm as positive as possible, haven't got a choice have I ? I don't think I would have ever shaved my hair but it's gone so if I have to live with it, I'd better get on.

Stress was definitely the trigger but since I've still got so many problems I don't think it's gonna grow back soon especially since I have AU.

So cheer up all of you, we aren't only hair.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia universalis
Are you age 18 or older?

    Patricia, tu peux me lire et nous pouvons échanger sur nos expériences sur mon blog : merealanoix.canalblog.com
    Ici, je ne me sens pas à l'aise, le groupe français est insignifiant... Les anglophones ont de la chance eux, beaucoup de nouveaux billets intéressants presque tous les jours, beaucoup de chaleur partagée.

    Hey Patricia,
    AGA means androgenic alopecia. Female pattern baldness, where u loose hairs mostly on your crown area. I am 24 this yr. I was diagnosed with this since 20. I have healthy hairs on my back... so its making me unable to go for wigs. I am not ready yet to shave my head. M looking for something like bonded toppers.
