Hi this is my first post here,  I have been shedding huge amounts of hair for almost two years.  Previous to this I had no hair loss and thick hair.  It has gotten to the point,  I have lost 70% of my hair and what is left is in bad shape and doesn't even feel like hair.   It looks like cotton candy.

I have no diagnosis except this is  a chronic diffuse hair loss.  A telegon effluvium that  started 3 months after I stopped eating due to anxiety and lost over 25 pounds in less than two months.  I also had a horrible allergic reaction to a medicine two days before it started.   I don't know what my diagnosis is at this point, but It isn't good right now.  I used to see regrowth and the shedding started to slow down when I was calmer and eating better this past November.  I don't know if it was a coincidence or not,  but it is worse than ever now,  I am  not coping well at all.  

I tried so many wigs and I feel like I am the one person a wig will not look good on.  I also have suffered before this happened with a body image disorder, depression and rarely left the house before this happened on and off , but it would be on and off and live was enjoyable and livable.

The hair loss and change in my appearance has made this unmanageable and I am anxious all day long,  can't go out,, and feel like I will never be ok.  My hair was the one thing that made me feel good about myself.  

I have been searching for something that will look halfway good on me and blown a lot of money in the process to  wind up with a butchered wig.   I was wondering if anyone knows a compassionate good place in the phila area or suburbs of Philadelphia  that you recommend.   Or even someone who would come to my home,  an online shop, or recommends a low density human hair wig.  I am looking into toppers too, but the way my hair loss is it would need to serve as more of a wig.   

Thanks
