I am Elline, and like so many of you, I have been living with my own hair situation for a very long time. I have andro-genetic alopecia and started experiencing the effects of hair loss at the early age of 9.
After finding no suitable, safe, high-end and all-natural alternatives for my accelerating hair loss - I took it upon myself to stand up for the 46 million women in the United States who suffer from some form of hair-thinning or hair loss. This has been the driving force behind the LeMetric Hair Centers, which I created, and continues to be my main focus.
Elline, does your travel include Charlotte any time soon? I would pay your expenses if you ever came to Charlotte, I dont know who to go to as I dont need a full piece yet I need something and would you be able to recognize FPB if dr said thats what I have... I had a 2nd breakdown and had to be hospitalized... i am struggling Elline and know I worry about it too much but I cant help it as its hard for a woman.... What should I do yet I dont want to wear something unless it gets so bad I cant stand it (which at times I feel its getting that way).. will FPB ever let up and just stop? This is so hard Elline... let me know if you are ever in Charlotte, I really need your help. thx
hi elline.. thx for your call today. i'm just having trouble with what happened at work and that alone is more damaging to me than the other.. I know I am continuing to talk to my counselor but I feel I will only heal maybe when I leave the company.. The humliation is unbearable.... if this happened to you, would you be strong enough to get over it? I just feel I will never be able to heal the emotions from what people know happened, what they know my physical problem is, each of them apart from each other are humiliating enough.... I am just having a hard time.. My family keeps telling me I dont need anything, do I trust their judgement as my counselor said my family would be honest with me... yet if I get something I feel I will look more ridiculous.. its something that cant be fixed either way I go, its humiliating..... ? I feel I am just not a strong person as everyone else on here is so strong and courageous and I'm a mental case all the time... If you were me, would you just trust what my family has said? and how do I deal with the worse emotions I have created from what happened at work I am just ashamed.
hi i missed your call tonite... maybe you can call me tomorrow.... or whenever is ok with you.. i start a new job in a few weeks and would love to have a new look as i know i have to do something i just dont know what to do... if you are ever in charlotte, please call me i would trust you... I have been to places in Charlotte but it seems no one has ever given me what I like or need, everything i've tried LOOKS too thick and LOOKS like a wig and I would rather be bald than to look like that, unnatural... I would give anything to have the "Lisa Rinni" look... all the time!! another thing is I'm just scared to take the plunge but it has left me emotionally destroyed and i lost my job from it so I know I have to do something.. i just dread the thought of wearing a wig the rest of my life.. but if i have to i guess i have to... My dr told me not to get anything bonded but right now I would do it as the worry of fixing it and taking it on/off every day would be gone... you see, i dont know what to do.. i just dont know and am desparate.. thanks
elline i would like to talk to you could you call me collect and i will accept the charges.. 704-537-6035 if i am not home, give me your # and a time to call you back. I need to talk and I am hoping you can help me. Thank you

Hi Elline!
I was recently diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia and I see you have it too. I am not too familiar with it, but I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what to expect.
Have a great evening!

Thanks, Elline. I saw the dermatologist yesterday - she still strongly feels it's telogen effluvium. The shedding is slowing down somewhat so we'll wait and see (and try not to think about it!!!). Glad to know there's options though....
