Don't know what wig you are thinking of for £1500 but please contact me and maybe I can help. Not all have to be paid up front. Whatever you are thinking of buying I will give you my honest opinion.

- Hey Donna
Thanks for add. As you can see from my profile I work with alopecia every day. I'm not on here however to promote a business (am an employee only) but to give advice and help if I can. Because you are in Scotland I can talk you through the NHS situation and what you can expect from them. Any questions, please ask, there's not a lot of information out there I know. And if you just want to vent about alopecia and wigs in general, even though I work in the industry I won't be offended.

- Donna,
Just saw your comment and just added mine on the fingernails site. For a woman it's worse I am sure than for me.
Faith that the Lord has something in store for me as a result of this illness just as He did when I developed Cancer at 32 is still something that I think about daily. Incidentally, I am 68 now, blessed with 3 kids, and 11 grandchildren. Last weekend, one of my granddaughters patted my head and said, "don't worry Grandpa, when you grow up, you'll have hair just like me". She was almost 3 before her hair grew in.
Will add you to my prayer list immediately, though lately it is becoming almost ungainly as I review it due to the numbers there. Many more are hurting than I could ever imagine.
To quote from God's word, "even the hairs of your head are numbered". When I am able to reply positively to you and offer some small form encouragement, I am reminded, that when I put others first, my concerns seem to disappear and I have to offer up Praise and Thanksgiving.
Warmest thoughts and many blessings to come.
Dan Caster

How are you today? I've had alopecia for about 30 years and wrote a book about it...you can find out more on my page. It's helped a lot of women who have difficulty coping.
