Hi Vesna, thank you for the invite into the group. I don't have AA, though - am suffering (and I can't emphasise that word enough right now) with AGA.

HI John,
Always looking for passionate volunteers to provide ideas and assistance. The AAAF currently has some activities initiated that will assist in promoting more awareness into all forms of Alopecia Areata to reduce the out of pocket expenses, for both treatments and head coverage. It takes time and we are all volunteers. Send me and email at chel@aaaf.org.au telling me what you'd be prepared to do to assist in moving this forward. Chel

Let's see if this group has the power, desire and ability to get Govenrment to recognize AA (not the step one) as a disease that the persons who and i choose these words with empathy and not to either dramatize nor negate the effects of the disease. I believe Alopecians suffer humiliation, hardship of emotional and monetary states, feel ostracized, unacceptable in physical appearance, are want to hide there condition due to misunderstanding by those who don't understand the extent of how this disease can affect a person emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Alopecians can feel like freaks are constantly offered crank quack cures, at great expense, I am just bald by dint of being and if men suffer from a disease we run the world and we are vain enough (me included, witness the money I have spent on hair transplant for proof of that statement) to be using a real cure baldness, take a look at contraception we invented the pill for women se we were not responsible but invent Viagra to make sure we get erections until we die on the job so as to speak. Sorry enough of my anti male rant back to my main point surely we and speak of Australians here mainly, due to the wonderful socialized medical system in our country were we can get most treatment free of charge and the at nominal cost, cancer patients pay a small amount for there wigs so why not Alopecians. I am retired and have got time to help but I am a more up front PR spokesman type, not great at paper work etc but someone in this group is so is anyone going to listen to hyperbolic rhetoric (Pats words ) and do something the worst that can happen is get our heads on television and bald can be quite hot on the little screen Captain Pickard, the Borg Queen, Ripley in Alien 3 the list goes on. PS I am on holiday and can't sleep I may wake up in the morning and regret this whole as a sleep deprived 60 year pensioner ranting attempt to bring the glory days of protesting for Aboriginal rights and against the Vietnam I leave it to my wiser balder and may I say wonderful AA friends to set me right
PS that does not include you Pat you can do that anytime.
Love to John non suffering partner and empathizer. Xoxo
