I live in Cumming Georgia North east of you I have been diagnoised with Alopecia as well recently. I am having an extreamly difficult time accepting this and the fact I will have to wear a wig the rest of my life. I have many factors that have contributed to this I have underlying MRSA that I got from Northside Hospital in Atl from a Rotator Cuff Surgery I had to be infused 7 days a week for 5 months , I almost died. Now that my immune system has been compromised , I am now anemic, B-12 def, Vita D def, my hair is falling out in clumps I look like I have the mange . I know nothng about wigs I don't know where to go to get one that looks natural I need some advice badly. I have lost all my self confidence and low self esteem I cant lose weight yet I show all the signs of Thyroid Disorder( Hypothyroidism) yet I have 3 docs say I don't have it and 3 tht say im border line in the mean time they keep testing my blood to see if its thyroid and its now been 9 months and nothing has been done. I have PCOS, Large red blood cells, and a my white blood cell count is all over the place not to mention I am anemic. I take Bioten, Folic acid, B-12 Pre natal Vitamans I wash my hair with Nioxin nothing works. When I shower clumps fall out I dread taking a shower because when I see my hair come out in clumps I panic and no one understands how I feel , it kills me. How do I deal with this? Where do I go to get a wig that will fit me right and not look so fake? I need help on this can you give me some advice?
