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
Talk to you soon,
Julie

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?
Talk soon,
Jules
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
