I've got AA but it seems that most of my body hair is also beginning to go including eyebrows and eyelashes-I miss those a lot. I've shaved what's left of my head hair so I don't have to painfully watch it fall out every day. That made a HUGE difference in my attitude about the whole thing. It's only been less than 6 months so every day is still a bit of a challenge. Plus I'm a teacher, I deal with a lot of people (tho kids are FANTASTIC with this)
I live in the Bay Area near San Francisco so it seems folks are not so freaked by peoples' appearances. I wear caps and bandanas, not quite bald and proud yet.
