Wednesday, I had a virtual wig consultation with the Allegheny Health Network. They only had two curly wigs. One was too short and had weird swoopy bangs. The other one is too long, but I can take it to a wig salon and have them trim it. It\u2019s also a darker brown than my normal hair. But it\u2019s free! They’re also sending some sleep caps and other hair coverings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, I had an in-person wig consultation at a great store that provides things for hair loss, mastectomy, lymphedema, and gender dysphoria. It was started by a woman who had TN breast cancer back in the 1980s. She\u2019s a three time survivor and is now 76. They didn\u2019t have any curly wigs in stock so we leafed through a bunch of catalogs to find one similar to my current style. The one we picked is shorter; there was nothing my length with curls. I’m going to have them double check to make sure there’s not a longer curly style that can be shortened, as we weren’t looking at those lengths. I have a feeling the short version might be my best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were some really fun colored wigs, but not in a curly style. I know, I could go with another style, but trust me – straight hair does NOT work on moi!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of my side effects, they\u2019re much the same. The peeing every few minutes at night has continued, as has the nausea. Reglan hasn\u2019t made a dent. I\u2019ve also been ravenously hungry because of the steroids. I\u2019m literally starving right after I eat. I\u2019m not much of a snacker, but have been snacking. I\u2019m hoping that at the one-week mark today, these side effects will start dissipating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course now I also have bad PMS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
