I haven't heard from you in quite some time; and to be honest, I've been something of a recluse myself for the past few months, but I wanted to take the time to see how you were doing and wish you a happy Spring!!

hello, I am new here. I was recently diagnosed with alopecia. I am so glad I found this support group. It really does help. I want to get a wig or 2. I never realized how hard it would be to pick out something that will be perfect for me. Yours are really nice. where did you get them? Thanks!! Erin
Hi Orbit. Your pics and page are inspiring. I've been dealing with alopecia for three year. I'm still in the process of trying to use what I have to cover what I don't have. Could you tell me where you get your great headscarves and wigs?
I just got through reading your bio, sounded very familiar. I, though, have become comfortable w/o the hair (as you can see in the photo). I don't have my own business but would love to, just not sure what I want to pursue. I love to cook and, also, am artsy. I learned, as a child, to knit from my 3 grade teacher and to crochet from my Nanny (grandmother) and continue both today. My father was the leatherman and also carved things out of wood (small things w/ a pocket knife). I sew, cross stitch, dabble in painting and drawing, like to take pictures (photography), but would not call myself a Photographer by no means. I understand about the pale complexion, I come from Scotch, Irish, English decent. I never met anyone w/ Alopecia of any form until 1990 (about 20 years after I lost my hair the first time). Keep up the beautiful work and know that you are a beautiful w/ or w/o hair.
I too was so alone in the late 70s' and 80s'...with the years that took my beautiful long hair.The insecurity of self loathing..and all the blame that came along with it.The judgement, opinions and perception which was on a continual basis.Not being able to rent apartments and catching buses or cabs was impossible.When you choose to walk without a head cover, you choose the negative reaction.
However, today... the attitude is somewhat altered and it's more acceptable in society to walk without hair.
I just keep on standing tall and "SMiLING"
I recently received a freedomwig prosthesis...yet haven't much worn it due to the terrible heat and having to shave the spars hair off...which causes razor burn, if done every day.
Loved reading your info..very insightful!
written so well..I think along the same lines as you..yet I choose to go bald!
The only thing is..that I cringe when I say that word"BALD"
Sometimes I cover up the word by saying sleek and shiny!
Clean look..bear and beautiful!
The list goes on and on.
It has been great looking at your photos and your fine selection of styles in wigs.
