I am in the same boat my hair has been shedding more then usual for the past 3 or 4 years but the last 3 months its gone overboard, I have spent thousands on testing and went to every doctor and noone can help me, I am so depressed because I used to have beautiful hair and now its so thing you can see through it all over, but its not like fpb its thinning evenly all over I am so ashamed and scared and confused and too searching to find a wig I might like to make me feel a little better. nathalie

Hi Sheryl!
Sorry it took a while to get back to you. Between moving and school, I've been super busy. I'm taking a break from studying right now (hehe).
So.....you want to just shave it off!! Wow! That's a big step! But most people that I know of who've done it felt more liberated. You must be at the point were you've just had enough already.
About the vacuum wig--for me it works out great! But I dont have to shave my head or anything. The suction won't work unless your head is totally bald, or shaven. I found that its not too bad in the summers here with it on. I tend to stay indoors for most of it anyways. I don't think I'll ever get used to the heat!! Some drawbacks are: it gets oily, especially towards the end of the day. I sometimes have to take it off just to wipe it down inside because it starts to lose suction and slip around. Its also very expensive, and it's mail-order. A rep from Peggy Knight cam to AZ to take a mold of my head, but everything else is by mail. I have to say that it didn't bother me much, but I know that its not for everyone. The pros: The hair is top quality gorgeous!!! I've never had a wig this beautiful or natural-looking. I don't feel self-conscious at all, and that was a major thing for me. I don't feel other people's stares on me, or get nervous when I'm talking face to face with someone. You can always call Peggy Knight Solutions and they will send a rep out to meet with you. Ther'es no obligation, and they have samples of other types of wigs too. Good luck with everything! Keep in touch, I want to know what you decide to do! If you ever want to come to one of our meetins send me you contact info. I would love to meet you! My email address is sgomez33@cox.net

It was great to meet you too. Keep in touch & let me know if you have any questions. Are you planning on buying that wig you talked about?

Great! I live near I17 & carefree highway. I was thinking we could meet at 9am & have breakfast. My son finishes school at 12:30pm & it's pretty close to were we are meeting. Let me know what works for you, you can call or text me as well.
Talk to you soon,
Julie

Sorry, I meant next Thurs the 11th, would you be able to meet then?
At 3:37pm on April 1, 2010, Jules said…
I'm looking forward to it too. When I have an idea of weh I'll be free I'll let you know but I'm thinking about Thursday, March 11th, my son is in morning preschool so how about we meet for coffee or any early lunch/brunch type of thing. Let me know if that day will work with you.
Have your Dr's no idea of whats causing your hairloss? I can imagine that has got to be so frustrating, I'm sure you want an answer on what is going on. Can I ask how much hairloss you have at this time?

Great! I'm pretty busy up until Easter but after that I'd love to meet. I'll email you soon to see when is good for you!

Talk soon,
Jules

PS. Jon is going along well. He has started to get involved in life again. He even had a girl friend for a while over the last few months. They just broke it off.
As for me. I am slowly relaxing as Jon becomes more accepting. Though I will say that he still hasn't totally accepted the fact that he may be bald for the rest of his life. He doesn't like to be different. I suppose that is teenagers for you...
Would love also to see some photos of you in your wigs if you get time to upload them.
Take care
Susan
