    Hi Leah,
    Thanks for the note! No, I don't have a freedom wig. I really don't need one -- I have some nice custom ones that fit well and don't come off. They are European hair and just beautiful. I get them made for me by Brenda Kay Hair Specialties here in Portland -- cost about $1500. I also have some synthetics for when I work out or am just running around, and I get Rene of Paris "Brandi" and cut bangs and length.
    I agree with the person who told you it's okay to want to look like you did before you lost your hair. I don't know why some people like to make you feel guilty for wanting to wear wigs. It's a choice, just like wearing makeup or not. I say, do what makes you feel the most comfortable. And BIG HUGS!

    i know sweetie...i know how bad it all is.
    i know the isolation & pain all too well.
    it doesn't get better with time.
    we only learn how to adapt & adjust.
    if that's any consolation.......................
    i cannot tell you, not to be sad.
    cause i know the road all too well
    If you feel comfortable wearing wigs..go for it!
    I cannot due to the pain & eczema
    from wearing the synthetic
    lace or prosthetic wig.
    yet when the weather is cooler
    you will see me in my new prosthetic freedom wig!
    listen to the "BEAT OF YOUR OWN HEART"
    walk to the "BEAT OF YOUR YOUR OWN DRUM"
    Take care Leah...can you put up a pic?
    Please...I so much wish to see you.
    You are safe here!
    if you meet anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable
    just block them....okay.
    you never have to share details
    Take care

    Hi Leah,
    I currently wear a vacuum wig. I really love it. It's a true custom fit. I used to wear the cheap wefted lace wigs, which are fine, but started to irritate my scalp a lot. I chose to go for a vacuum wig because I wanted something that would be comfortable, secure, and natural looking. You asked me about the 'other' vacuum wig company. I don't know who they are. All I know is that they are from Florida. I go through Peggy Knight Solutions for my wigs. I should be getting my new wig by the first of the year. I will let you know what I think about it when I get it. Right now I am wearing the Freedom vacuum wig.
