Yes, I do as well. I have PCOS, a disease females get, and as a result, one of the symptoms is hair loss (some in turn grow too much hair, but I got the hair loss symptom instead). At first I cried because I was so young, and they told me it would never come back. I wore hats and scarves, but now I wear a wig. I miss the days when I could go outside and let the breeze flow through my hair. Now if I go outside without a cover on my head I get stairs. Funny enough I get compliments on my beautiful hair, but it doesn't make me feel good because it is a wig and I know it even if they don't. People can tell us how to feel all they want, but unless they have this they don't have one iota of understanding.

my cousin has it , she's 11 now.. and she's almost completely bald.. and we're trying our best to find a cure.. I believe the disease is called alopecia areata.. which is both annoying and embarrasing... dunno how to react!
