Andrea Elda replied to letcia Parga's discussion 'Itchy scalp driving me insane'
At my itchiest I tried to make sure my scalp was really moisturised. I also tried using natural oils but I found it made my hair (wig) too oily. Rosemary shampoo's natural properties are meant to help hair growth. I used a Rosemary and Lavendar…

Hi Andrea, To buy a wig online is much cheaper. I paid about $350 for a synthetic wig in Melbourne and then found it online cheaper from the USA. So it might be a good idea to try on wigs, get the maker and name of the wig and search online. I…

Hey Leonora. Thanks for the tip Re wigs. Can I ask, did it cost much? I'm feeling really in 2 minds about what to do first -- eyebrows or wig. A coffee would be great, would love to meet up. Where in Melbourne are you based? I'm around…

Hi Andrea, I went to a wig place in Swanston Street Melbourne - in between Bourke and Little Collings Street on the left heading towards Flinders Street. The ladies in there were very good. They are just 'matter of fact' and kept pulling…

About Me:
I have been a sufferer of Alopecia areatea for a year now. It started off with small, easy to conceal patches until 2 months ago, when it manifested into (almost) full head, eyebrow and eyelash hair loss.

I'm connecting to this World as a way to help rebuild my confidence.

4 Ancient Remedies for Alocepia

Posted on March 15, 2010 at 12:44am 2 Comments

I've uncovered a chapter from old source, Modern Ailments Ancient Remedies – A Healing Manual by Gillian Kerr N.D. and Dr. Yvonne Bloomfield.



This book has been lying around the house for more years than I can remember, so it was a nice surprise to see it mention alopecia.



My journey with alopecia so far has taught me to nourish my body with organic foods, fresh fruit and vegetables and more recently, yoga and meditation.



So it’s not much of a surprise that my… Continue

My Story

Posted on March 10, 2010 at 4:07am 10 Comments

I began losing small patches of hair at the base of my head in early 2009.



What maybe (maybe not) triggered the alopecia was a break up, retrenchment and a family member becoming ill with cancer – happening all at once of course.



In brackets I say ‘maybe not’ because irrespective of my circumstances, alopecia and auto immune disease run in my family.



This predisposition means alopecia could have happened at any time in my life. It was just its choice to manifest… Continue

Hi Andrea,
To buy a wig online is much cheaper. I paid about $350 for a synthetic wig in Melbourne and then found it online cheaper from the USA. So it might be a good idea to try on wigs, get the maker and name of the wig and search online. I bought a real hair wig online and it was about $150 cheaper than buying it here. I live in Werribee. I head back to work tomorrow after having been on holidays. I am a school teacher. I dread having to wear a cap all day again! I don't like wearing my wig all day every day!
Send me an email to oldchook_50@hotmail.com and I will send you my mobile number so we can organise to meet. I am always around town. Mind you Andrea, my alopecia doesn't sound as bad as yours. I have been having constant treatment and at the moment am undergoing DSP. I also purchased a couple of books online that you can have a read of if you haven't got them. I do whinge and complain about my alopecia but at my age it is nowhere nearly as bad a getting it at an early age. My hair is such a mess that I would just like to shave it all off but my family are dead against me doing it. We will see what happens.
Bye foe now
Leonora

Hi Andrea,
I went to a wig place in Swanston Street Melbourne - in between Bourke and Little Collings Street on the left heading towards Flinders Street. The ladies in there were very good. They are just 'matter of fact' and kept pulling out wigs for me to try. I did go to a wig place in Ringwood (because I liked their website) but found them to be too sterile and I was treated like an invalid!
I just found the address. It is 149 Swantston Street, Melbourne. It is up on the first floor. I then took my wig to my hairdresser and she trimmed it for me. Hey Andrea if you ever want to meet for coffee that will be great. I am always in and out of town.
Chat soon,
Leonora

Pretty good these days. Still get sad and angry occasionally, but I am in the process of falling heavily for a great guy that I met on here, so hair is not so much of an issue anymore. I hope all is well with you.
