An EEG today

Today I have an electroencephlogram. This is a test that neurologists order to look at your brainwaves. Why am I including it in a blog about alopecia? Because they glue the electrodes to your head. The glue does not stick well to your scalp. It sticks to the hair. This should be interesting as mine is falling out. It is a test that I dread and it takes place during a most inconvenient time during my life as I only have 50-60% of the normal amount of hair. A couple bald patches here and there. While I dread washing my hair because of how much falls out, this is going to take the cake. To get the glue out, I usually tugged on my hair and picked at my scalp. Lucky for me, I have a wig to wear. Only the technician needs to know I have bald patches.
