About Me:
Hi I'm Harriet. I developed ophiasis alopecia 3 months ago quite severely and out of the blue. I'm 27 years old and married to Adam, who has been amazing. I work as the manager of a team of drugs workers in a prison. Iv lost about 50% of my hair already and it's spreading behind and above my ears now. Iv heard ophiasis is the hardest to treat and not a good prognosis so I went shopping shopping for a wig yesterday- one of the hardest things I think Iv had to do and didn't expect it to be. I'm still grateful that I have hair on to to cover the patches but it's getting v thin. I know how lucky I am to have an amazing family and perfect health, it's just the thought of having to go to work with a wig or shaved head which is a struggle. I'm very inspired by everyone who has been going through this a lot longer than me and can rock the shaved head with confidence

    Is picture one a wig?  It is adorable....My hair loss is your exact pattern, the nape of my neck, around by my ears.....and the rest is just plain overall thinning....in general.  I, like you, can still just wear my thin strands down to cover up a bit, and a baseball cap is my best friend. Alopecia sucks.....join Wigsupport.com.  Lots of women from all over the country are on it.....lots of good wig ideas, if you are up for them.  Meet you there....you'll enjoy it.   http://www.wigsupport.com/forums/search.php?search_id=unanswered
