You are definitely right about that! Here in the US, a law was finally passed about 3 years ago that requires health insurance companies to pay for wigs as hair prostheses; however, the loophole here is that you have to purchase them from what is known as a durable medical equipment supplier (basically a hospital supply store) -- and they won't carry them because wigs can be obtained from beauty shops and specialty stores. Go figure. Yet another way our government shafts us!
I couldn't agree more! I really am curious, because I have seen a couple of Canadians and a lot of Britons on here; what kind of information and treatments are doctors outside the US recommending??

time to send messages to all your friends, telling them how much you care about them.
Without friends
you would be missing out on a lot.
A friend should be radical;
They should love you when you're unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable,
And bear you when you're unbearable.
A friend should be fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry.
But most of all, a friend should be mathematical,
They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep within your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.
I care about you.
Have a nice day, and
I'm glad we are friends!!! Delete Comment
