Amy left a comment for Dana"No, I haven't tried any wig other than a $200 synthetic. It is looking like my hair loss is permanent, so one of these days I hope to invest in a really good one! What about you, what do you wear?"
"Hi Miho, I have been in your shoes and believe me you are doing the right thing. It took me awhile to learn but I was much better off. He never got any better and now lives with his parents, I felt really bad for not staying and trying to help him…"
"I don't think so. My stylist told me if you wear them loosely they do not look real. I have headaches anyway, just now it seems to make it worse. Oh well, have you tried one of those grippers or the newer vac. wigs?"
Amy commented on Dana's blog post So maybe not as great as I thought......why is this such a roller coaster????"I know I do! It is a roller coaster! Some days I don't care that I don't have hair and other days I feel like crying all day and have no self esteem."

There is so much support out there for Alopecia. I had no idea and I just want to scream it from my house-top. I felt so lost (still do for the most part) but I feel there is hope. Life will go on whether my hair chooses to join in or not. I think I may even be able to go back to church and not fear for the person sitting behind me to look at the back of my balding head. (Of course I will have my "fabulous, perfect hair on).....I think I can do this....maybe :/
