*sigh* I've been gluten-free since March. My last episode of hair loss was around Easter. However, about 2 weeks ago I discovered another patch...the size of a dime on the back of my head. That being said, I have had hair growth from…"
Kat commented on mandy p's blog post Not a typical question on the wedding forums"If you can find the money from somewhere, it's worth paying more!!! My wig was $3,000 - I had no money but I pleaded my Dad and he eventually loaned it to me from his trust fund - because how I feel about my appearance is very important to me.…"

so with my groom bumping the wedding date up by three months I'm feeling stressed. I should be focusing on finding a venue (why is everything so expensive) but instead I'm thinking about what to do for hair. I'm not in love with the wig that i have but can't afford to pay another $400 for a new one. Ryan would be just as happy if i walked down the isle without hair by my grandmother would probably drop dead on the spot. I've already had to sit and listen to her go on and on about how awful it…See More

- Hi Mandy,
*sigh* I've been gluten-free since March. My last episode of hair loss was around Easter. However, about 2 weeks ago I discovered another patch...the size of a dime on the back of my head. That being said, I have had hair growth from the old patches but it took kenalog injections and squaric acid to do it. Honestly, I was hoping that going gluten-free would help control the hair loss....but it may be too soon to really know. It seems that I get new patches every six months...crazy but, true. I'm also autoimmune thyroid and anemic and I think being gluten-free and dairy-free has helped that out a lot.

- Yes, my friends don't even think about me not having hair any more!
If you need extra support and some good info (and a few laffs), you might want to get my book, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" I wrote it for women with alopecia. Maybe you have it already? Anyway, you can find out more on my page. You can get it on Amazon.com.
Hugs!
