Hi My name is Em and I come from Kent, England, and I am 32. I was
diagnosed as a Sticky person about 25 years ago. Have had detached
retina and lost sight in my right eye, and have had lense removed in
left eye. My legs don't work so well (you know that wobbly feeling
you get and you brain just won't talk your legs) so have to use a
wheelchair sometimes.

I would like to know if anyone else has found that there hair is
getting thin with age? Mine is and I have tried to think it through
logically, break down of collegen is why we have our problems,
collegen breaks down, collegen makes skin elastic, which would make
skin less strong, which would possibly make hair fall out quicker
than normal. Would anyone agree or have any experience they can
share.

Its great to find a place where people know what its like to have
sticklers, thanks to everyone.

Em
