Hi all, first off, I am so glad to finally find a place that understands what "AA" is... other than someone asking me how long I have been sober... *weak attempt at humor" she says.... but anyhow, I am very new at this, diagnosed two months ago. Mine is fast moving, stage 3- 35-40% already and climbing. Currently, I was in stage 2 of steroid treatment and responding (i had some new fuzz on the new spots old ones... nah)... but got the word from my derm that "neither of my insurances will cover HAIR LOSS". Sooo okay... I have two insurances, two cancer policies and aaflac but evidently aa is not a priority. So.... now what. Damn I was saving for a wig, but now I can't even get the visit covered. I blew up. First, hair loss is a side effect of my auto immune deficiency... it is where my antibodies attack... "um well... but that's all it does".... Epically angry and feeling like I do not matter. so here I sit, with the "steroid flush" and no options. Advice?
