Re: Is it just me or is it the WIG

I had hot flashes as well. At work it would just about make me walk out..miserable. Wake up in the middle of the night throwing the covers off, freezing the next minute. My head, also, was really itchy when the hair started growing back in, and the wig irritated it, plus I was working in a job where I supervised a kitchen, which just made the sweating under the wig worse! This is the second time I have lost my hair, and Im avoiding wearing a wig like the plague. The soft little skull caps feel so much better. The dry skin on my scalp is itchy, so I try to keep is moisturized. I don't know if everyone has these symptoms, but you aren't alone. Hope it gets better soon.
