Accepting my condition

I have alopecia areata and started showing up for about 4 years. In the last 2 years I have hair loss gradually despite all the struggles and money spent on treatment. I am married at the moment, I realize that my marriage is by a thread. My husband constantly implies my hair. I feel really bad when he do this. I think you're ashamed of me. I try to accept my condition, but I cannot stand walking on the street that I think people are looking at me. I thought I'd shave my head and put on a tattoo, change the look. What do you advise me?

First of all, I hope your husband is not being mean to you.  It's a disease and one that we cannot control.  He should be supporting you through this.  I lost ALL my hair in a matter of 6 weeks in february so i am really new to this.  Look at Headcovers.com.  They have great hats that are fashionable and so easy to use.  I hope you have looked at wigs too.  It's worth the investment but it takes much time to get used to and adjust.  I am still adjusting as it is such a shock to me.  All the best
