Have you done any wig shopping in Houston? Do you know someone that styles wigs? I don't need a wig but could definitely use some clip-ins or a topper as I've probably lost 50% of my hair. I don't know where to start!
Thanks Jenn! I appreciate the kind words. If I may ask, why did you wait so long to go to the doctor? Could you wear your hair out the way that it was or were you just wearing hats, ect? I'm at the point now where I'm not too comfortable going out without something to cover. I have hair that I can clip into my own, but my doctor says that I cant wear them because of the pressure on the hair. So what do I do? Wear a stupid ball cap everyday? I dont know what to do. I'm not brave enough to walk around bald!
Hi Jenn,
I did go to the doctor, he's in Dallas. His name is Dr. Whiting. I'm going back on Sept. 2nd. for more shots. So how long did you wait for to go to the doctor. I guess I waited about a month or so until I started to see doctors. Do you have a wig and if so, did you get it in Texas? I have never heard that the shots will stop it, but I did hear that once you start them, you cant stop or you will go AT, AU!! Have you heard of that?! I'm so stressed out about it!!
Hi Jenn! What kind of AA did you have? How long did it take for you to loose all of your hair? I have been going through this for about 4 months now. I can start to see patches on the top back part of my head now and I'm wondering if it's going to start to get really worse now. Thanks.
PS I have the tingling sensation too!
Thanks Jennifer..Samantha is quite excited about her regrowth. She is getting her new hair tomorrow from the hair club for men. She is equally looking forward to that too. If you have any specific questions let me know. The DCP and SADBE are very similar treatments, but from what I know the chemical is a bit different and it is applied differently. I have to say Sam's doctors have been very diligent and we had to work our way up to a quarter size and they won't go bigger then that at a time. She has had a few harsh reactions but nothing out of control and Sam and the doctors have really worked through it. Samantha really tolerates the effects of the treatment because she sees it is working and won't give up...Hope you are enjoying summer..Cindy

Just wondering how you are doing -- haven't talked to you in a long time!
Did the makeup tips work for you?

What part of Houston do you live in? I live in Pearland and have two little boys and we're pretty close in age.
