So I've made an appointment with a Fuller Hair to get a vacuum wig! I have to keep my head shaved, which I'm not too happy about. However, the wig lasts 3-5 years, and I can do a lot more activities in it without worrying about it falling off my head. The process is a long one and expensive. I won't get the wig until about March or April...birthday present to me!
I met someone last night who asked me why I was wearing a wig, and so I told him I had alopecia. I don't mind talking about it when people ask, but I'm always nervous afterwards that others can tell I'm wearing a wig if that person can. Anyways, he shared with me that his godson who is only 2 years old and used to have really blonde hair all over has alopecia and losing his hair. Makes me sad for that little boy because 2 is when I started to lose mine. Apparently, the father blames himself because he was really stressed during his wife's pregnancy and thinks that might have something to do with it. When my mother was pregnant with me she went through some stressful family drama, and we always wondered if that might have had an effect on my makeup. Perhaps alopecia does happen for those at a younger age who experienced stress in the womb. Interesting thought.
