41 year old female with 3 wonderful children. I first noticed a loss of my hair on washing it 5 days ago.[ Nov 19th 2009] It was so severe that 4 days later I had rather large totally bald patches underneath at the back and also on the top at the crown area. As you can see by my latest photos things have happened extremely quickly in my case. I am totally happy with the new me and have set the date for26th Dec to shave the remaining hair off. I dont believe I have anything to complain about. Yes I may have lost my hair but at least I have my health.
Good on you for taking the plunge, you certinaly sound very brave. I met another NZ lady, Pamela S, who is also on this site. She also threw away her wig after putting it on once or twice I think. you may be interested to hear here thoughts. In fact she lives nearby you. Keep well and smiling! Kath
hi there - I live in Auckland and when my first fell out when I was 30 is also went in a matter of day about a week or two from memory. Good on you for being so positive and smiling in your photos! Your attitude will certainly help you through this believe me. If you want to chat drop me a line. Kath
You have a very healthy attitude!
