Oh yes and when I was first diagnosed and tried to collect from my insurance for reimbursement for a wig my insurance company told me that my condition was "cosmetic" and not medical and therefore not covered by insurance. I fought them but lost!

<p>Welcome Carrie. You've touched upon what for many (for me) is the hardest part of alopecia areata - the pervasive suggestion that because it's "just hair," because it's not life threatening, we should dismiss it, get over it, be grateful even. You will not get that here because the women you'll find here KNOW what it's like to be bald in a hair obsessed society. You are not alone.</p>

<p>Hi Carrie,<br/> Welcome,<br/>
This is a big deal, but don't I feel as though your alone in this. I recently joined this site and found these people are great they all relate to how I'm feeling, and I understand how you are feeling, Yes it's not life threatening, but every girl want to have beautiful hair, and society is not accepting to Alopecia in women majority have no idea what it is and think we have Cancer ... It's a matter off being strong, vent as much as you want on here because at some stage we have all been like that, and some of us still are (me for one). Just so you know I'm on the 3rd round of AA and it doesn't get easier its a matter of accepting it and not questioning why me ? what have I done to deserve this? all questions I asked myself... But I know because of this I am a better person stronger wiser and more understanding towards body image and societies view. People don't know what they don't know is what I tell myself... But you always have all of us to support you on this challenge . :)</p>
