Hi Renee
I have Hachimotos Thyroid Disorder... I would have never known if I didn't pass out one day from rapid heartrate and heart palpitations.. It didn't show up on regular bloodwork I had to seek out a specialist, Dr. Meckelnberg (in Christiana- let me know if you need his #, he is wonderful!). He did a thyroid uptake and scan; a sonogram on your thyroid, and discovered I had a problem. I now take Syntheroid and have it under control, but still have regular bloodwork done... It is basically another autoimmune disorder, like Hypo Thyroid...
Hypo Thyroid runs in my family..
Hope this information helps. Feel free to contact me if you would like my doctor's number. He works miracles! I knew a woman from Milford, where I'm from, who has A.A., went to him for treatment and her hair grew back!
I hope you are well. I would love to hear back from you!

Hi Renee,
I've been married now for almost 21 years to my great husband. My hair fell out less than one year after we married. From the beginning he was cool with it. I wear my prosthesis for most of the time when I go out, but around the house I don't. He could care less!! I've gotten to the point now that I will take it off whenever the spirit moves me, especially when I want to show off my tattoos!! I've been to Mexico and not worn it when swimming too!! I figured why have to style my hair when I could just leave it in the room until it was time for dinner!! EASY!! My husband is very good at doing stuff. He can do electrical, carpentry, etc. He used to be a machinist so he thinks like an engineer. Luckily, he also has a great sense of humor!!

Hi Renee,
I hope we can reconnect soon in DE!! I'd love to catch up with you again and you'd LOVE the new all-silicone cap.
Call me or email. Thanks for adding me as a friend. How long have you been married? Who is he??

Hi Renee. Thanks so much for your kind words. I do have a group here on Alopecia World. The link is: http://www.alopeciaworld.com/group/useyourdifference
Wow (hot momma alert!)lol!
What is monofilament? Do you think you can take a pic of the inside of your wig? I've only ever had the regular lace wigs, and I don't like them much. They're too itchy. I did have a vacuum about 13 years ago, but the hair was really poor quality. Is your 20" wig a human hair wig?
