I had to decide long ago who I would allow to be the "acceptable viewers" of my AA, just to get done what I needed to for my well-being. Doctors have seen it all, so I decided to allow those CONFIDENTIAL, "seen it all in med school and in practice" folk know why my wig might tilt. This includes chiropractors and dentists, for obvious chair tilt and position problems. Now, I am so bold I even take off my wig for the initial weigh-in (so I will weigh less), making jokes and amusing nurses all the way. Why not give yourself permission for medical care to go bald or at least give a "heads-up" to personnel?

Pat so sorry you are having a hard go. I seem to find if I am a 'little sick' I am more sensative to even medical professionals knowing but if I am 'really sick' I just dont care. I guess for me it was like when I had ovarian cancer - before that I hated the yearly exam - during that time I could not have cared less who saw what when. Now years later I again find myself self conscious. The eye doctor put drops in my eyes the other day and he used his other hand to tip my head back and I know he felt my wig - I felt ackward but hoped he just chalked it up to hair spray. (I know he probably did not but it was my coping mechanism - I suppose it does not help that he is drop dead gorgeous - I like my doctors old and frumpy!)

I hope ur neck feels better soon!!! And rant anytime - hairloss emotions can hit at any time no matter how long we have been forced to deal with it xxx

Hope part of your mood doesn't involve worry about one person's staying and one person's moving. Hang in there.
